She's a Flight Risk...
A presumably fictional blog about a wealthy heiress who flees her family for not entirely clear reasons, possibly to do with a forced marriage. The blog begins, "On March 2, 2003 at 4:12 pm, I disappeared. My name is isabella v., but it's not. I'm twentysomething and I am an international fugitive."

as it correlates to virtuality
"Considering where one is standing as the 'last physical space,' the piece is activated when the user/viewer steps into a particular spot, triggering a software that types out random, fictitious, and absurd ‘you-statements’ that would resemble the language utilized in contemporary data-mining and the algorithmic data-based quantification of users. The result is a projection that mimics the process of data extraction, displaying text that is part fictional characteristics forcefully prescribed onto the viewer/user, and part second-person narrative, imperious and coercive, questioning what it means when information represents the populace. The project is partly an examination of the dominance of a supposedly user-centric, individualized, customizable big data society, by placing certain attributes and data onto the viewer/user that are false, constructing a situation that resembles and emphasizes the violence of data-extraction and algorithmic representation, in particular its fallibility, while insisting on the fraught linkage between these virtual enterprises and the persisting physicality."
