Sumario:What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles.

The contributors have achieved a successful artistic-scientific collaboration with extensive visual material.
