To be exhibited at the "Virtual Me" exhibition in NEMO, MuseumN8 2008, Amsterdam
A plateau carrying people is extended into the virtual reality of Second Life, an avatar inhabited world. The total weight of avatars standing on the virtual side of the plateau is calculated, and processed together with the estimated weight of the people standing on the physical side of the plateau. This leads to continuous adjustments in both the hydraulicly powered plateau and the virtual plateau, making it a balance that lets both types of visitors experience and feel the weight of a virtual reality avatar.
