A live cinema + music + sound collage performance piece for MAGFest. Does technology help connect people? Or does it replace them? As the tools of one age become the masters of the next, it’s precisely the gaming community that knows the Metaverse existed long before its recent corporate rebranding. In "We Can Really Feel Like We’re Here," live cinema artist SUE-C and metamedia group Negativland collage the last century’s worth of technology — the one now being resold back to us as our future. But from Sensorama to Oculus, from Second Life to PlayStation Home, from I Love Bees to Twitter — there’s only so much gamification that the real world is ever going to allow.
