Fatherboard, the Superavatar is an avatar that - escaping from the virtual worlds (or from the computer) - forms into a physical shape. It is similar to cyborgs - but is not a cyborg - and it is made out of the (recycled) hardware components of the computer where it comes from. Fatherboard steps in to the "real world" and starts interelating with the human beings (i.e.: the audience). The essence of its dialog with humans is to be found in the idea of a confrontation between the "artificial" intelligences and the ones of their creators. The whole show is theoretically based on the concepts expressed in the Polymorphyc Intelligence and the Big Sieve theories, by Luigi Pagliarini.
