Update via their MySpace page (the answer as to who this/"I" is, is in the comments of this post):

Hat's off to Eric) Alessandro Cortini (He plays keyboards currently with Nine Inch Nails, and also is in an outfit called Modwheel Mood.) It's an interesting mix of Artists..."

Update: new upload by someone else:

Subdivisions - Rush

YouTube via AirbrushRocks — April 14, 2008 — "'Subdivisions' is a Rush song often considered to be describing feelings of isolation, boredom, conformity, and sadness springing up from teenage life in the suburbs.
"Subdivisions" was released on the 1982 album Signals. Aside from being a perennial fan favourite and a staple of live performances, the song appears on several greatest hits compilations, was released as a single in 1982, and despite doing little serious business in the UK charts, it gained a lot of radio airplay in Britain at the time. It was also played live prior to its release. Pre-release live versions exist on the internet.

The promotional videos scenes were filmed in the Toronto area. The downtown scenes in downtown Toronto, the suburbs scenes in Scarborough, Ontario, near Warden and Finch. The high school scenes were filmed at L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute, in the same area. The student that walks downtown in the video is Dave Glover, a student at the L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute at the time. Near the end of the video, Glover is seen playing the video game Tempest at an arcade, which was reportedly his favourite video game at the time. Info courtesy: wikipedia.org]"
