This machinima was originally part of a Second Life installation, on display at the ArthOle gallery in 2009. As it's unlikely the work will be seen again in its entirety I'm showing the video online as I think it can stand alone and still be of interest. Text taken from the original accompanying notecard: "The central component of this multimedia experience is a machinima I started filming back in 2006; a series of one minute avatar portraits, inspired in part by Andy Warhol's so-called screen tests. During this long delay I've been considering how best to present the portraits, and I've created a space that incorporates photography and sound montage to compliment the thirty minute film. It is a homage to Warhols' groundbreaking Exploding Plastic Inevitable events and the Factory Superstars, and a commentary on the impact of technology and the cult of personality."
