WEAVER
Weaver is a performance avatar - the disidentified version of the artist avoiding all visual and verbal cues and codes. Weaver is a virtual object made from a naturally occurring sound (in this first iteration Weaver is made from the sound of a bird, however any naturally occurring sound can create the visual form of Weaver). Weaver can be exported into a range of different metaverse environments for real time spoken word, sound works and conversation performances. Weaver is devoted to knowledge generation and the sharing of new knowledge and performs poems and other forms of writing including performative conversations with physicists, philosophers and other artists. Weaver endeavours to create, co-create and re-create the fabric (of our society) using the warp and the weft in an analogy of the dialectical principal - the unity of opposites. The interaction creates a conversation, our thoughts then having the potential to sublate into something higher, growing towards some radical, chaotic, creative version of ourselves into a more wonder-ful future.
