A new artistic project by media artist Martin Bricelj and Martin Wheeler which will bring to the streets of Slovenian city Novo mesto a real avatar!

On 6th March from 2 till 7 pm you will be able to control Public Avatar - a human agent in real space via the project's web page. You will be able to move Public Avatar, talk to him, visit your friends, test the local food, visit parties, movies, bars, meet the locals and much more! Discover Slovenia!

Public Avatar will be available online. To play, you need a computer and an internet connection. During the events, users will be able to login at www.public-avatar.com. Each logged-in user is placed in a queue and waits their turn, when they will be able to give simple instructions (such as ‘Turn’+’Left’, ‘Say’+‘Hello’ etc) to the Avatar for three minutes. Users will be able to see and hear what the Public Avatar sees and hears via live video stream.
