Chat box function. So you can turn this on home, which is being protected to a screen, which is on the headset or is it like a big screen? Okay, now it's like I can probably see it. There is only audio. Oh, so they can only, so they can only hear us. They can't see us. Oh, so they can only hear us. Okay, okay. Okay, right, right, right. Well, I guess you can ask us like any question. Oh, and they have a mic. Is anybody out there that want to talk to us? I guess that's who should really be asking. The concept is about computer assisted communication. Okay. Amazing. Well, yeah, we were talking in front of a lot of people. Are you? So incredible. What country my ass. Thank you. Yeah, I'm curious as well. I promise we're not gonna. You're lovely as well. I think, I think what you're doing is really cool. I think it's really interesting. And I'm surprised you changed your eyes. Okay. Amazing. Yeah. You gotta be careful which lobby you go into too, because you know, they can be a lot to handle. Yeah. We have a country. There is a trigger. Index lesson. I wish there were still people down here. Yeah. What? There buddy. Finally found you. I'll be very early. Oh wow. Okay. We're very, very, very, very, very, very normal. In front of a camera. Yeah, we're normal. Yeah, we're normal people. But we're not rude ever. Like, you know what I'm saying? We're already minorities, you know, we're black. On this game. But it's always the right. It's a fight for your life. It's crazy. Are you here often? What do you do in your chat most of the time? You go first. You go first. I feel like you should go. Really? Okay. Okay. I'll go first. Go fast. Go fast. Okay. So on the art, I mostly like look at worlds. So this is the thing that is a phrase we call called world hopping. So there are people who make avatars like this music person right here. And there are people who create like the art world, like the one we're all in. And so there's like a lot of details that go into specific worlds. And I guess if you like look around a lot, you can find some really cool places. We have a place called reflect on life. It's like a life is strange game, but they adapted it into a world. Um, I don't know. I just, I world hop a lot and I like to meet new people here. So, um, I guess for that much, I can say that's what I do. It's really fun. You meet a lot of interesting people here. You really do. Like I met a YouTuber here one time, which I never thought in my life I would ever. And I'm saying, so it was like, wow. I did the same. Yeah. Had a whole conversation with them and everything weird. But you know, so it's interesting. How are you dealing with this stuff? That's great question. I feel like you should take this one. Yes. Okay. So it's, it's something. So I've been on this game for two years, right? And at first when I was, when I first entered this game, I wasn't like, I wasn't, I hadn't actually dealt with racism or like sexism or like homophobia. Well, maybe live up homophobia, but like racism and sexism specifically for fame, this game. And then as soon as I started playing this game, like it really opened my mind up. Oh yeah. There are people like you would say some serious like poop. I don't want to smile on camera. So we're not like, so like I, it definitely was a process to kind of get used to and also combat eople being rude and like just plain, like horrible. There are a lot of horrible people in this game because it's so unfiltered. And so what I said, there are people who will take the most vilest shit on here and you have to just really just either take it on the chin and move on or respond to it in kind and be like, nah, this shit is not okay. Nine times out, 10 people will be nice. Nine times out of 10 people will have very interesting things to say or like they'll want to talk to you, but there are just some people who just want to do this in controlling. Excuse me. Who will just like run around in lobbies like these and just do some shit for no reason. And you just have to learn to just be like, okay, that's going to happen. Especially, you know, being a few years, you just, you just get used to it. It's kind of sad, but you just get used to it. Yeah, that's why I did choose the air chat for this work because it feels like that's everything that is awful about the internet. Also, everything that is so beautiful. That is very true. You were that so beautifully. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. I feel like in the sense though, like beer chat, and I think this is what a lot of people tend to get like, I guess forgetful about is a lot of times people hide behind an avatar to say how they really feel. And like, I feel like it's easy for someone to just don't have and say whatever comes to mind because you won't get reprimanded. You won't get the consequences of what you say because what you say goes. So you have to utilize a lot of self control and what the air chat does give you like blocking or muting. That's also like something I feel like I've learned to use because I'm looking at this person. I'm all about getting someone back. I'm all about getting someone back. Very comfortable. But you can't do that all the time. Yeah, yeah, very. But I've learned that sometimes it's not worth it, you know, because it's like, am I really going to let this person buy a screen with a terrible graphics card, get me out of shape? You know, like, it's not worth it. So you just got to block them and move on just carry on. I think I've learned to do that sometimes. But do you block or mute people often? I'm a blocker. I mean, I meet people usually. I feel like if they're being like very, very, very rude, like to the point where I just have to kind of stand their voice and I block. But like, if it's just like someone playing music in a lobby that I don't want to hear, I'll mute. Like if someone is like being loud, I'll mute. But like if they're being directly rude to me or my friends or like anyone in the lobby, I'll block them. Why not? Good that you are typed in your chat box. lease write your age down, please. I get muted here a lot because the audio is so annoying. I need to rove that when I am showing this artwork again. Honestly, you can honestly change that if you wanted to turn on your suppression. Um, do you want to teach them how to go to their mic suppression? Because it could work honestly if they turned it on. Unless it can only do so much. Yeah, but then none hears me talk. Oh yeah, true. Well, I guess they should have to get used to it. It's not that I think I think it's not that it's not that bad. It's really not that bad. Kind of. It's really not that bad at all. It's like it becomes like white noise after a second. lease write your age down in your chat box and death, follow it or I need to remove you from this instance. You have 20 seconds. Oh, wait. Wait, what? Yeah, this is a yes, really. Yeah. Cool. Wow. Next time faster and not ignore me. Thanks. Can't I sleep them alone? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. That's shocked. Also your age in your chat box, please. Is she serious? I'm 22. Oh, she's deaf. How are you guys doing? It's because it's good. It's because like the imagine chat box. It's an it's an 18 plus world, basically, because sexual shit goes on here. It's a group. I know. I saw your bio. Oh, okay. So I just got a type of mine. How are you guys doing? I'm good. We're good. I'm trying to figure out who this princess person is. But both of them don't have it in there. So yeah, you're all fine. Oh, I don't think. Who is that? Sorry about that. Maybe some moderator in this. I was so jarring. Next time did not. No, it's not really rules for the game. That's the first time that's ever happened. And I've been here since 2021. No, it's because it's a group instance like this group specific. Yeah. So how is it public? Because it's a public business. Oh, I don't understand the point. I don't see I don't understand the point of public instances. It's just like you're just make it private at that point. You're going to offer that every five seconds. I don't know why they do it, to be honest. I have no idea. I'm not. I'm not a part of this. Yeah, we need that. Where are you guys from? What country? You're from the UK, right? Onward. Yeah, I am from London. Yeah. Oh, and that's what I call you. Oh, wait, one. What I call you. You can call me itself. Wait, what? So? So? There you go. Yeah, where are you from? Oirty. I'm from Florida. I see you. You know Florida man? Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. I wish I knew him as well. I feel like people find out from Florida. I just get the back burner treatment. Yeah, I do. When am I at home? Yeah. You're from Miami? I have to leave now. The exhibition is closing soon. It was lovely talking to you as well. I hope your project goes well. Thank you for having us.
