while i was talking to him, his friend, a woman named priscilla. she was taking posted notes, writing on the notes with the pen in vr and sticking it to his avatar one at a time. as time went on, she had made a bikini out of these post-it notes and stuck it on this guy's chest. and it wasn't just the shape of the post-it notes, what she had drawn on them was effectively a bikini top. this very casual intimacy it was already part of their relationship, struck me immediately. fast forward a few weeks later, ben had driven from his home in cincinnati to alabama to visit priscilla. and they spent a few days together. by the time i connected with them on the skype video call. two things about that that are still with me. one is when you do a skype video call or face time with someone, you're never looking at each other. if they're trying to look at you, they're looking at a camera lens. and if there looking at what they see of you, then your eyes always doing this. this no actual connection. something is lost in that mediation. not only was that happene
