19.01.08. The dangerous computer and the fearless kids

Adults have a tendency of standing in a distance of 2 meters from the computers in the exhibition of Virtual Moves waiting for something to happen. The kids go directly to the computers and start pressing the keyboard and enter the art pieces in SL fearlessly. A boy of around 6 years came back for the exhibition three times and in the end I had him assisting me showing the adults how to do. Common for the adults is that when you first introduce them to the project they have a lot of comments and thoughts about SL and the artistic experience. You just need to trigger the child in them and they start playing.
