"You Are Now the Electronic Man" are the words that appear before even 
opening the website for The Electronic Man, a project initiated by 
Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico of Art is Open Source (AOS) and 
FakePress. And by becoming part of The Electronic Man, sharing your 
emotions as they become linked through QR Codes and help to build the 
frame of The Electronic Man, you are participating in a real time global 
performance. We discuss AOS's ideas and intentions, regarding their 
activities of performance and use of technology, and methods of 
engagement with anthropology and biology.

This real time global performance relates to conceptual experiments in 
remixing reality and creating new sensual experiences with technology. 
The email interview took place after their recent exhibition at 
Furtherfield's gallery in London, REFF - REMIX THE WORLD! REINVENT 
REALITY! (http://tinyurl.com/66mb85e), February, March 2011, and during 
their current project The Electronic Man, part of the ADD Festival in 
Italy 2011 (http://www.addfestival.com/).

Renee graduated from Goldsmiths with a Masters in Interactive Media: 
Critical Theory and Practice. Her most recent work arose from working 
with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) support groups to intrepret 
their perception of objects within the home alongside theories of 
discreteness and technology. She is currently interested in exploring 
relationships between food, data and technology.
