On January 12th 2003, in Phoenix (Arizona), a 21-year old computer addict died of an overdosis of prescription drugs while chatting on the internet. Soon after this tragic event, a text file containing a transcription of the dialogs that occured in the chatroom appeared on numerous websites. Re-processing the dialogs recorded before, during and after his death, the multimedia ensemble N3krozoft Ltd expands the network tragedy into a caustic ectoplasmic seance.

This video fragment is taken from the performance LOL (laughing out loud) which took place on May 30th 2004 at Les Voûtes, Paris, in the frame of the exhibition Global Resistance (with Bureau d'Études and Horia Cosmin Samoïla). The timecode of this extract is: [02:49:34] - [02:54:12], which is 46 minutes after the beginning of the performance (full duration: 80 minutes). Live soundtrack by 10111.org. c+p N3krozoft Ltd.
