I Like Hatsune Miku And She (Can Be Programmed To Sing That She) Likes Me. By Rob Myers.
In the posthuman opera "The End" Vocaloid Hatsune Miku is unreal and ageless but possibly not death-defying. What can a not-quite-Open-Source media phenomenon teach us about mortality and cultural alienation? And how much further can the figure of the virtual idol singer be taken in a world which increasingly resembles the cyberpunk dystopias that it originated in? http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/i-hatsune-miku-and-she-can-be-programmed-sing-she-likes-me _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
