The Bush Soul
"The Bush Soul" is an interactive artwork that explores the role of avatars and human presence in a world of artificial life. In a virtual world, the avatar becomes our other body. But what part of "us" is in our avatar? In West Africa there is a belief that a person has more than one soul and that there is a type of soul, called the "bush soul", that dwells within a wild animal of the bush.
