sep 8, 2007 - Eva and Franco Mattes, Synthetic Performances

Description:

One of the many artists embracing Second Life as a stage for virtual participatory performances are Eva and Franco Mattes.
Inviting other members of Second Life to participate or watch, the Mattes created “Synthetic Performances”. Before scripting their own performances, in 2007 they started out with Reenactments of historical performances: Marina Abramović's Imponderabilia, Gilbert&George's The Singing Sculpture, Valie Export's Tapp und Tastkino, Vito Acconci's Seedbed and Chris Burden's Shoot.
