 		The website and twitter were fakes. There are no other legit sites associated with iamamiwhoiam, ONLY Youtube.

The first three videos were pulled down in January for copyright infringement issues. They were then put back up after the parts that were infringing were removed and changed. The first video ever was posted in late December originally.

 		There,

The animal videos are videos that link to the copyrighted clips that were removed from each video. The links originally weren't there but the clipart animals werent either; clips from the linked videos were. Youtube made them take their shit down until they fixed it.

So now instead of using the footage they just link to it, presumably because it does mean something*. So I'm not sure what you men when you say: "the first video didn't have a link to the goat giving birth video. we were supposed to find it."

Well it does have a link to the goat video. No, it originally didn't, because they had the footage from the video in their own video so they didn't need to link to it. They are just linking to it now because they aren't allowed to use it in the actual video. Do you understand?

Anyway, these videos aren't like an 'ARG' or anything so I don't think there is too much to figure out. It's just art to watch until the creator decides to reveal themselves. You watch it because it is aesthetically and musically pleasing, haunting and strange, not because it is leaving clues for you to hunt down. Even the code, outside of the extra numbers (which i'm pretty sure are just there to be there) is just a simple numbers-to-letters code that anyone over 6 can figure out. It's just their to lend to the air of strangeness.

*Pretty sure I posted this a few posts back, but the animal videos.clipart are allegories to what is going on in the actual videos.

It could...but this would be quite a bit of effort and (judging by the quality of the clips) quite a large budget for an unproven artist.

Stranger things have happened...but I would be surprised if it was someone we'd never heard of. It wouldn't have the same payoff to have all this build up and then have everyone let out a collective "Wait...Who?" when the curtain is lifted.

 		Hey everyone, just subscribed here but been following the iamamiwhoami videos since day 1 pretty much (was the 9th subscriber on the youtube page). Anyways, someone posted the alleged IP adress that the email was sent to all the indie websites, and after tracing the IP this is what came up:

IP address: 208.97.132.51
IP address country: United States
IP address state: California
IP address city: Brea
IP postcode: 92821
IP address latitude: 33.9269
IP address longitude: -117.8612
ISP of this IP: New Dream Network

Host of this IP: mx1.postal.mail.dreamhost.com

Brea is right next to Los Angeles.

Right next is not entirely accurate. Maybe on a map but not in real life traffic. BTW I work right smack dab in the middle of that area code, if anything comes of it

Those 'cakes' have strawberries on them.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Adonis, Aphrodite & Myrrha story.

"The most commonly accepted version is that Aphrodite inspired Myrrha with lust to commit incest with her father, Theias. Myrrha's nurse helped with the scheme. When Theias discovered this, he flew into a rage, chasing his daughter with a knife. The gods turned her into a tree (a myrrh) and Adonis eventually sprung from its trunk." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrrha

"Greek mythology firmly places the origins of the wild strawberry with the Goddess Aphrodite who, upon the death of the beautiful, but mortal Adonis wept with such passion that her tears fell to the ground as small red hearts... strawberries. Not surprising, then, that in the Middle Ages, strawberries became known as the fruit of temptation and seduction. " - http://greekfood.about.com/od/ingredients/a/fraoules.htm

 		It's not an 'Aphrodite' or 'Huldra' or any of that BS mythology. It is and has been a story of a Mandragora. It's that simple.

Are Christina fans still holding on to some shred of hope that this is her? They need to give up that ghost.

These aren't "leftover numbers". Each one is something on its own, you just have to add them:


699130082.451322 = 38. 18. = CH.AG

669321018
= 36 = CF

723378 = 30 = (im guessing the math is wrong, but it should be 31=CA)

1110 =3 = C

56155 = 22 = BB

3383 = 17 = AG

well, its just a whole lot more CH AG reference.. and some random ones.

that's what all people think : "you have to add them". someone started this in the youtube comments.

but since they don't make any sense when we add them, i don't believe it's the way to look at this number.

but i think the key to these numbers is nearly impossible to find, so i've stopped searching.

Oh, right, so you're the maker of these videos then are you? Since you know all about it, tell us what it all means then.

Well...considering all the cattiness it's inspired...I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that it was in fact Christina. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, regardless of who it is...I'm getting a very environmental vibe to this series...especially with our little wood sprite looking into the camera all sad-like before asking "why"? It's like the 21st century's version of the Crying Indian commercial.

I'm guessing some kind of environmentally conscious concept album is on the way.
