DESCRIPTION:<p>Increasingly\, avatars represent humans in ways that differ importantly from the familiar avatar/gamer relation. For example\, &lsquo\;continuing bonds&rsquo\; representations of deceased people and Hollywood replicas present as <em>being</em> the represented person\, in a way that a gaming avatar does not. This workshop explores questions arising from avatar/human representation: around the nature and limits of avatar representation\, avatar ownership\, responsibility for avatar&rsquo\;s actions and the potential impact of increased avatar representation in society.</p>\n<p><u>Confirmed speakers</u></p>\n<p>Guo Freeman\, School of Computing\, Clemson University</p>\n<p>Kamil Mamak\, RADAR\, University of Helsinki and Department of Law\, Jagiellonian University</p>\n\n<p>Adrienne de Ruiter\, Department of Philosophy\, University of Humanistic Studies\, Utrecht.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The workshop will feature both invited speakers and presentations selected from responses to a call. Refreshments and lunch will be provided for all participants\, as will a workshop dinner on the 2nd March.&nbsp\;</p>
