Eva and Franco Mattes aka 0100101110101101.ORG created a project called Synthetic Performances, where they are reenacting some of the art world's most memorable moments on Second Life, including Chris Burden's Shoot, and Vito Acconci's Seedbed. I am most intrigued with the recreation of Marina Abramovic and Ulay's Imponderabilia, which is one of my favorite art performances of all time that I wish I could have observed. I was very curious about Second Life after seeing the show at the Portland Art Center last year about avatars, but even though I sometimes feel joined at the hip with my laptop, I found it to be boring. Maybe this is worth giving it another try.....
