If an avatar approaches you – walk away
Take a close look at the girl on the left in this video, she seems normal talking with her friend but beware she is an avatar. The footage from Interface Amnesty part of the AND Festival, clearly shows she is being controlled by a man in the corner wearing a hat. OK it doesn’t show that but you have to take some things in life on trust – especially as some time later she came over to me and scared the living daylights out of me. She approached me as I leant over the laptop sorting out a problem, she asked what i was up to. To get away form her, I told her I needed to get something to eat, i was hoping this would put her off, but “NO” she shouted, scaring the life out of me “there is nothing left”, then grabbed a microphone and started singing abba songs LOUDLY. To be honest I had noticed that she was somewhat strange when she first came over and really wasn’t the kind of person I would want to be on a long journey with, but didn’t realise she was an avatar until later in the day when the gent in the hat came over to explain.
Even after he had explained I avoided her like the plague – Not sure if that was the purpose of the experiment but if it was it worked on me.
