Ok, one last question. I agree, let's stop doing that. Semantics are a powerful cultural force. Let the discussions begin. 6. rename your tribe's idol 7.
People talk about sex and gender issues a lot on various MOOs and via email.
I think we talked once about how Places are so much lamer than MOOs, even though the technology is supposed to be better. Since the MOO interactions are text only, they can be transported across into other mediums, like zines and books and magazine articles and web art manifestations and digi-videos so the possibilities extend far beyond the site n time specific situation of the actual games which are unfurled over many months or years. I was deeply engaged with this debate in the early 90s, and as a member of VNS Matrix helped to make quite a prolific body of artwork and narrative texts which played with some of the issues surrounding the relations of gender and technology. But of course I still identify as a feminist, if not a cyberfeminist. Worken wiv ricardo dominguez and whoever else is interested.
