      Description

      "Second Front is the pioneering performance art group in the online avatar-based VR world, Second Life. Founded in 2006, Second Front quickly grew to its current 8 member troupe that includes Jeremy Owen Turner, Doug Jarvis, Tanya Sauce, Gazira Babeli, Penny Leony Browne, Patricky Lichty, Liz Solo, and Scott Kildall. Taking their influences from numerous sources, including Dada, Fluxus, Futurist Synthesi, the Situationist International and contemporary performance artists like Laurie Anderson and Guileermo Gomez-Pena, Second Front creates theaters of the absurd that challenge notions of virtual embodiment, online performance and the formation of virtual narrative."--Second Front
