We the New Community

The current wave of virtual reality purports to usher us into a time of new possibilities and experiences, yet echoes many of the conversations that took place in the 1990s when immersive computer environments, artificial intelligence, and digital immortality were fresh in the minds of scientists, religious zealots, and the public at large. We the New Community is a live theater event that splices together music, computer graphics, and monologue to explore a potential future where the body and physical reality may be discarded in pursuit of a new and technologically-supported form of immortality.
