Meta_Body
The virtual experience of the body is not exactly an experience of the flesh. These sensations, albeit having a physical sensorial aspect, continue to be experienced in our bodies behind the screen, not in our avatar body. The virtual body is a metaphorical body, all language, therefore open to experimentation and possibility.
In this new project, Meilo Minotaur and CapCat Ragu invite you, once again, to rethink your bodies through your avatars, making available all kinds of skins, shapes, body parts, clothes, etc. All these items will be fully modifiable, shareable and copyable, thus challenging the audience to become creators and also share their derivative work with us, in the All My Independent Women RL exhibition. While the avatars will be available in the Second Life Sim Delicatessen, the pictures and machinimas of the derivative work will be displayed at VBKOE, Vienna, giving a glimpse in RL of the new creative flux, beyond the concepts of author and work of art, happening online.

A experiência do corpo em ambiente virtual não é exactamente uma experiência da carne. Pelo menos no que diz respeito ao avatar. Isto é, evidentemente muitas das experiências virtuais têm uma dimensão física, dos sentidos, mas estas sensações continuam a ser vividas nos nossos corpos por trás do monitor e não pelo corpo do avatar. O corpo virtual é um corpo metafórico. Um corpo todo linguagem. Como tal torna-se uma plataforma aberta à experimentação e à possibilidade.
Neste novo projecto, Meilo Minotaur e CapCat Ragu convidam-vos, mais uma vez, a repensar os vossos corpos através dos vossos avatares, disponibilizando vários tipos de peles, corpos, partes de corpo, roupas, etc. Todos os artigos serão completamente modificáveis, partilháveis e copiáveis, desafiando a audiência a tornar-se criadora e a partilhar connosco o seu trabalho derivado, na exposição RL  All My Independent Women. Enquanto os avatares se encontrarão disponíveis no Sim do Second Life, Delicatessen, as imagens e machinimas dos trabalhos derivados vão estar expostos em VBKOE, Viena, deixando entrever na RL o novo fluxo criativo, para além dos conceitos de autor e de obra, que está a acontecer online.

"A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. Social reality is lived social relations, our most important political construction, a world-changing fiction."

High-functioning autism isn't a handicap, it's a different perspective. It isn't a deficit in comprehension. It isn't a failure to be like you. Welcome those with the gift of thinking differently; someday they may save your ass.
