Dear colleagues,

Next week, Mar 14-16, Dr. Kate Sicchio (Virginia Commonwealth University) and I, with the help of our awesome research assistants, will be co-hosting a 3-day translocal + hybrid gathering centred around avataring practices and mixed-reality performance: Ready Avatar One

Ready Avatar One will feature a program of live performances, art works/screenings, artist and academic talks, paper presentations, etc taking place in-person in two communities: at Virginia Commonwealth University (and Gallery5), Richmond, Virginia and at the Networked Imagination Laboratory at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario.  All events will also be on Zoom and live-streamed.

Yours truly,
David
