<nettime> Thriller at the Canada/US Border in Second Life |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiEpS_H4aMs More info and photos here: http://sharingissexy.org/wiki/PublicPerformances This performance engages with the following questions: - What are the borders of online public space? how do they relate to the borders of our "first life"? - What are the relationships between borders and prisons? How are these separate but related modern features a part of the infrastructure that separates the global north from the global south? - How do borders produce gender and how are those dynamics affected by the seeming gender freedom online public space inhabited by avatars? How is gender nonconformity perceived and discussed in online spaces, in prisons, in borders? - Is synchronized dancing as fun in second life as it is in first life? -- gpg: 0x5B77079C // encrypted email preferred gaim/skype: djlotu5 // off the record messaging preferred # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
