Living Avatars Research Group

The extensive use of avatars, from fantasy digital games to the promises of the Metaverse, has the potential to put in question the established theories of how we engage each other in politics and society. By exploring further boundaries of novelty that accompany technological and digital living, our research is a valuable resource to inform policy and development frameworks.

We explore concepts including embodiment and ownership, perception and behaviour, and representation and power.
