[aha] OneAvatar @ Milano in Digitale

[xDxD]

Appena tornati da Milano.

Il bell'imbusto OneAvatar è stato alla Fabbrica del Vapore, ospite di 
Milano in Digitale.

Qui trovate un report su come è andata, un po' di foto e un video 
(purtroppo scuro... stavamo appiccicati all'installazione e, io, a 
prendere le scosse...)

per chi lo vuole vedere/usare, in fondo al testo del link trovate il 
codice sorgente in C++ del gioco 3D che ho sviluppato per 
l'installazione, rilasciato senza alcunchessia licenza, da 
usare/smontare/rimontare come più vi aggrada.

cià!

-- un po' di info brevi nel testo inglese che sto facendo girare ---

OneAvatar was shown at the third edition of the Milano in Digitale 
event. An installation featuring a 3D game in which players could shoot 
the OneAvatar character, causing electric shocks to hit the body of the 
player wearing the OneAvatar suit, creating a phisical connection 
between our physical bodies and our identities in the digital worlds.
The installation features the results of the research coming from the 
OneAvatar project: technology, emotion, identity, relational dimensions 
in the digital domains are some of the fundamental topics analyzed.
For the event a complete marketing and communication strategy was 
produced to create a fictional, but realistic and produceable, product 
to create the narrative level of the performance: the performer was 
displayed as in a shopping center showcase, with the product and the 
related gadgets available for sale. A further analysis on the evolution 
of art in the contemporary era, in its hybridization wth communication, 
marketing and ethnographical practices.
