Fruit of a collaboration between renown creators from various fields, the physical disavowal on stage emphasizes the “thickness” and vitality of the new media, including their ephemeral and complex networks of relationality. Far from an empty shell with no agency, Miku is presented as an imperfect entity, serving as ambassador for the “weird materialities” of contemporary digital cultureporKeiichiro, Shybuya, 1973-Miku, Hatsune (Personagem BD)Arte contemporânea - JapãoPerformance artAnimaçãoArte digitalErroCrítica e interpretaçãojournal article
