This blog revisits Jeremy Owen Turner's academic research and art-performances within the MMORPG video game, Matrix Online (2009)...This research was originally submitted as homework for Magy seif el Nasr's class "The Theory and Design of (Video)Games" at Simon Fraser University...

Performance Video-Documentation on Ice?
Somewhere locked inside the Matrix might reside some previously-forgotten video-documentation of a couple of performances...
Any breaking news about such findings will occur in the coming days...
Briefly, there may have been some video-documentation showing Distri stalking NPCs...Also, Distri spent a considerable amount of time waiting for a bus to arrive at a designated bus-stop in the Matrix...This solo performance occurred sometime in February 2009 and a group version of this performance was proposed to the Ars Virtua group shortly after the extremely mundane "completion" of this performance (the bus never arrived). However, by the time Ars Virtua took serious interest in the performance idea, the Matrix had shut down.
Even if this documentation cannot be found, there will still be more posts appearing on this blog very soon. These forthcoming posts will show Distri's Retail-store performance (2009) and some other events that only liminally would be considered as self-conscious "art-performances"...
In the meantime, take the green-pill...relax....and await the upcoming posts with Neo-like anticipation...
