RealityHUBs - not technical enough?

An avatar have been following Virtual Moves from SL, and participated in all four exhibitions, asking our avatars questions about the different artworks and the whole project in general. It’s great that a visitor examines the project with so great interest, and her more critical observations, published on this blog, really hit the bull’s eye: The realityHUBs, who are here to guide visitors both in SL and RL, are not capable of doing so - when it comes to technical questions from experienced avatars.

With a focus on art - not on technique skills in SL - our work have been succesful in RL, at the museum. Visitors have clearly been affected by the art institution, and most people was scared to even touch the computers (normally you’re not allowed to touch anything at all in a place like SMK). I believe our presence at the museum have been succesful, not only in showing the visitors how to use the avatars, but also because all of us have had some really interesting conversations, about the project, with very different individuals.

The question is: Would it have been better, if the realityHUBs was a group of two art students and two of Sophie Zhu’s kind?
