CHEZ AVATARE?!
AVATARE – Never Walk Alone. Go by Avatar!

Human avatars go out on expeditions, on walks through a city and are lead by users on the Internet.
The technological tool is the following: A performer wears a small live camera including a microphone on his forehead. This way the viewer on the Internet can see and hear the events from the point of view and personal perspective of the avatar. The avatar can receive messages and be directed by the community. So the audible and visible experience is in real time and interactive. Using a chat system, the conversations can be written by anyone. The game arrangement varies with each project. If there are a lot of users, they can vote the best control commands.
So by different programming a whole swarm controls a single avatar in an democratic process, or one user controls his personal avatar.
Wherever you join, you can beam yourself to distant places and interesting situations.
The Berlin based Chez Company production group arose from the bar-factory Chez Icke. The very successful beginning of the preoccupation with virtual space, the search for the digital-analog interface. Chez Company thus became an open formation of writers, directors, dramaturges, digital workers.
