This video traces the various steps required to participate in “book culture”: the trip to the library, meeting with other patrons, turning pages. In contrast, my avatar enters a digital library. What will she find there? Storage space, as in real life, or a digital library?
Catch Me is a game between me and my avatar. Instead of controlling it, I consider my avatar to be part of me and that sometimes I am the one who is manipulated.
