Who is the Idoru?

This is where the Idorus Rala Froct and Mindoru meet, two fictional digital personalities who inhabit cyberspace.

Rala Froct and Mindoru are the creations of artists Michelle Teran (Toronto, Canada) and Amanda Steggell (Oslo, Norway). In a series of web cam meetings, each artists will perform as their digital personalities by transmitting live images and text from their cities of Toronto and Oslo to the Idoru Web site (www.interlog.com/~mteran/idoru). You are welcome to observe the narrative that unfolds between the two Idorus by visiting the site during the broadcast times. Unlike, video conferencing, which is unable to accommodate but a limited virtual audience, Idoru meetings can be observed by many simply by accessing the Idoru website.

The Idorus will have their first meeting on April 1st, 8:00 – 10:00 pm. Other broadcasts will take place throughout the month of April and also throughout the last year of this millennium.
