Public Avatar is a new project by Martin B. Bricelj, Slavko Glamočanin and Martin Wheeler.
Public Avatar will be launched for the first time in the public spaces of Novo Mesto in collaboration with Galerija Simulaker and British Council.
Public Avatar is documenting the relationship between virtual reality and our perceptions of self and society. This installation will allow a global audience to explore real-world locations remotely, and to interact with objects and people in those locations through real-time control of a human test subject. As digital and physical worlds collide, the boundaries between self and other, reality and simulation are constantly challenged and redefined.
