"... the entanglements of beings in technoculture that work through reciprocal inductions to shape companion species." Dr Donna Haraway, 2008, 'When Species Meet' University of Minnesota PressRollo Kohime, Mike Baker and Fiona Baker in Wellington Railway Station perceived as, in Haraway`s terms, a post-human companion species ... might our avatar/cyborg-selves not just be empowering our Real Life lives but dialoguing in them too?Rollo Kohime waits in a bus shelter while in his mind`s eye, he watches Mike and Fiona meet, converse and depart in Wellington Railway Station. The engagement reflects disparate moods, converging and dislocated protoconversations ... I am seeking here to imbue my avatar, Rollo, in a MUVE world, with a sense of other-worldly, inscribed memory or awareness of Real Life events he has witnessed, as might a commuter travelling through the station and glimpsing our activity.Please see my latest blog post on 'Respecting (Accepting) Avatar Otherness - Character Creationing at:http://hoststranger.blogspot.comThank you for your time, Mike Baker
