In the Virtual one can be and do everything; your avatar is immortal and not affected by ordinary life mandatory routines like eating, drinking and sleeping. In “Ouch!” The artist overwhelm her Second Life avatar with emotions and animated food and drinks. The video record the struggle of a digital, virtual body trying to perform simple and easy tasks: in a virtual world that tries so much to replicate our reality, basic daily life actions can be ridiculous, painful, even impossible.
