A lo ne, disembodied Metahuman mouth exploits VR’s intense presence while subve rting customary embodiment and audience agency. Integrating performing ava tars, the work probes authenticity, identity, and authorship, demonstratin g how “subtractive dramaturgy” thrives in an additive medium. Findings adv ance performance studies, XR design, and digital humanities by showing how technology reshapes creativity, embodiment, and storytelling.\n\nInterest Area: Arts & Design, Gaming & Interactive, New Technologies, Production & Animation, Research & Education\n\nRecording: Livestreamed, Not Livestrea med, Recorded, Not Recorded\n\nKeyword: Animation, Art, Artificial Intelli gence/Machine Learning, Audio, Augmented Reality, Capture/Scanning, Comput er Vision, Digital Twins, Display, Dynamics, Education, Ethics and Society , Games, Generative AI, Performance, Physical AI, Real-Time, Robotics, Sim ulation, Spatial Computing, Virtual Reality\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Virtual Access, Experience, Monday\n\nSession Chair: Mona Kas ra (University of Virginia)\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
