Ciaran Dóchas & Vanessa Blaylock
Ciaran Dóchas and Vanessa Blaylock collaborated on the mixed-reality performance Isomorphic featuring 4 laptop musicians live at the University Theater and 4 avatars in the virtual world Second Life.

Each RL person held a laptop with a video stream of their avatar in VR, and each avatar held a laptop with a video stream of their fleshvatar at the University Theatre.
