Angels, Avatars and Virtual Ashes is an audio work about death, public mourning and Youtube comments. The narrative was inspired by the mass outpouring of grief and online video tributes made by strangers in honor of Anna Svidersky, a teenager who was murdered in America (2006). Although the comments, names and characters are entirely fictitious, the work taps into common and conflictual sentiments evoked by such events.
