Avatar (2009)
"With our shared existence on the web comes the freedom and choice(s) of how to represent one’s self visually. We have the ability to chose specific photos to profile our being and dawn on as a virtual name-tag. Often these images we chose to associate ourselves with have nothing or little to do with our physical bodies- Enter the Avatar. In this installation, the audience is given a living mannequin to dress up while standing in the very same room, using physical motion to dress a physical avatar, in hybrid space, with virtual costume."
