"WHERE VIRTUAL AND REAL WORLDS COLLIDE"

BY STELARC/UPTON/CHAFER

FROM 27TH OKTOBER TILL 25TH OF NOVEMBER

In this special installation people from the exhibition can see you as an avatar standing next to them.

They can communicate with you through voice technology. 

It is an amazing experience to communicate from a virtual world platform with people that are just passing by.

Especially this last week there were a lot of children as they went to see a Dinosaur exhibition in the same place and it is lovely to see how they react to all these weird avatars and asking questions.

We do notice that some of the adult public is a bit stunned by this phenomenon.

It is a good way to show what you can do with a virtual world. With this interaction it becomes more alive. People get more aware and interested in virtual worlds.

If you like to visit the real exhibition go for information to Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry 
and in Second Life to LEA 24 http://slurl.com/secondlife/LEA24/32/32/2867

Be aware that this is an event that involves minors.
