[Franco Mattes <propaganda@0100101110101101.org>]

Hi everybody,

as part of PERFORMA09, the New York Biennial of performance art, we  
are performing a live pseudo-Futurist total improvisation extravaganza  
thing in Second Life. Forget about museums and galleries, on Monday  
stay home and play video games.

See you there!

Pseudo-Futurist Video Game Improvisation Extravaganza
Live in Second Life
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/35/25/22/
Monday Nov. 16, 5-6pm (EST time); 2-3pm (Second Life time)

Synthetic Performances are online live gaming sessions inside the  
virtual world of Second Life, performed by Eva and Franco Mattes  
through their avatars, which were constructed from their bodies and  
faces. The series arose out of the artists' polemical stance toward  
performance art. This lead the Mattes on the one hand to breach the  
classic rules of performance, and on the other to present these works  
- the efficacy of which was based on the radical way they explored the  
issues of the body, violence, sexuality, identity and public space -  
in a context where these issues acquire completely different,  
paradoxical meanings.

Anyone can participate from all over the world by clicking the link  
above. If you don't have a Second Life account you can sign up for free.
