Reais Jogos Virtuais / Real Virtual Games (ATTENTION - Postponed) - Events

Nov 29, 2008 all day
Location: Kowhai Island / Second Life (PST)
Latest Activity: Oct 11, 2023

After the hybrid performance environment at LxFactory, (Lisbon,Portugal) and Kowhai Island (Wellington Institute of Technology in SecondLife) the project continues in its virtual replica and until the end of November as a participatory virtual enviroment for avatars. We are uploading mocap animations produced for the project. They will be available by touching the dance ball in the room. We would like to gather enough avatars in order to perceive how the movements and embodiments are performed by the avatars in interaction. Yes, it's about embodying other bodies and subjectivities through our avatars, as much as we do everyday without noticing. Sharing an embodied subjectivity that intervienes in the corporeality matrix of Life in general, through what one brings in or consumes. Furthermore, but no less important, we want to collapse the distance between supposed physical and virtual separated realities. Make the two modes closer and mutualy affecting. We want to propose some animations, like embodied modes or states of beeing. THeir are to be shared amongst the avatars in presence and challenge them to experience these along with choosing and playing with their own location, orientation in space moves/gestures/chat. Relating through the shared/own movements and states with others avatars as well as with the people screened in the room, streamed live off its physical location. Towards embodied inter-personal experiences that challenge the common modes of communicating and socializing towards and effective expansion of creative awareness in action, instead of substituting and sublimating our dreams in these environments. Look very forward to move with you there, Most regards, Isabel C.
