Media Artist Joseph Deloppe reenacted Gandhi's 240-mile 1930 Salt March. Deloppe converted a treadmill so every step he took was a step his Avatar took in the online community, Second Life. This rare performance of live, in person and online, subjects was captured through a recorded video performance of both subjects. Toni Sant said this about the online world, "the Internet provides a diversion from the humdrum of everyday life." This video performance portrays the humdrum of exercising and showcases the unknown of Second Life. What will the avatar run into? Who will he encounter? Instead of watching the artist walk the treadmill, Internet users can log into the mysterious and exciting virtual world.
