"Secret Agents" is concerned with the creation of a cyborgic virtual being, an "agent" who represents and reflects the consciousness and concensus of the UCDARNet collaborative team. The project is a remotely inhabited and site specific net-based performance that uses a distributed personae to investigate and play out notions of agents and agency, presence and absence, identity and indentification. Using both telepresent and robotic applications, a semi-autonomous biomorphic human inerface will act on behalf of the group reflecting the collective ideas and intelligence of UCDARNet. The agent will be both metaphoric and actual: a virtually embodiment of our collaborative thought and a physical presence at the conference who's internal proccesses and external actions will be streamed over the Internet. This living agent will engage with the conference participants and discourse in all the areas of digital art and emerging technology encompassed by our more "secret" agents, the DARNet totality which will be geographically distributed, yet simulataneously telepresent and re-mapped in realtime onboard the host agent."
