The artist observes his viewers in  Second Life 

Artist and Emerson College professor John Craig Freeman, in one recent Second Life piece, created portals to various alternate realities. One portal (one of the orbs in the image, above) might take you to the U.S.-Mexican border; another to the streets of Sao Paolo, Brazil. Freeman is among the first artists to explore the alternate world being created by Second Life users. He is also the first SL artist to be featured at the Boston Cyberarts Festival, taking place this week. He said his pieces are designed to make viewers more aware of how alternate realities will affect human interactions.

I rounded up images from John Craig and Cyberarts participants who are creating interactive and ubiquitous computing works. You can see those images here.
