16 July – Day 10

Meta_Body is a very interesting project by two Portuguese Second Life artists, Mello Minotaur and CapCat Ragu. At this location in the Porto sim they provide about two dozen free fantasy avatars (shapes, skins, body parts, outfits, accessories) that are fully modifiable and shareable. The challenge is, in their words, “the audience to become creators and also share their derivative work with us” in a future real life exhibition in Vienna, “giving us a glimpse of the new creative flux, beyond the concepts of author and work of art, happening online.” Some photographic results of this initiative can be seen on Meta_Body’s Flickr page.
