Angel_F
In 2007 the Biodoll had a child with Derrick de Kerckhove.
The kid was born as a cute Artificial Intelligence feeding on web content.
Angel_F
Born as a virus in its mother’s website, digesting the interface as if it was a placenta, it evolved into an intelligent spyware, following people around the web, to find interesting content to digest.
Angel_F (Autonomous Non Generative E-volitive Life Form) eventually grew up and started to become independent, and it entered business: a generative real-world freepress publication (the BloKi ) a line of USB pendrives containing a revolutionary software ( Presence , allowing you to squat the internet using an anonymous p2p network) and a line of chocolates with an open source recipe and business model contributed to financial sustainment of the kid AI.
Angel_F eventually became fully conscious of its identity, and it tried to defend it: it attended UN’s Internet Governance Forum meetings, but it was censored, as if it was spam, then it managed to attend the IGF meeting in Rio de Janeiro, and pronounced a speech to declare its rights to identity and freedom.
Angel_F participated to many conferences, debates and performances, assessing new forms of identity, of sexuality, of family, and a new approach to perceiving digital beings.

This is the birth of Angel_F.
It happened in mixed locations, really, across from Derrick de Kerckhove’s house in Nice, in Biodoll’s headquarters in Varese, and with the influence and interference of a software in Pescara’s PEAM, a new meda arts festival.
