There has been a cultural shift from analog to digital: creating an ΓÇ£x-realityΓÇ¥ that crosses between the virtual and the real. Encompassing a multiplicity of network combinations, it is the role of the avatar to help us express our new agency--our new power to customize our networked life. The gestalt of images, text, and multimedia that make up our online identities--in virtual worlds like Second Life and in the form of email, video chat, and other digital artifacts. What has come out of this shift is real-time collaboration and co-presence. The star of this drama of expanded horizons is the networked subject--all of us who represent aspects of ourselves and our work across the mediascape.
