Website Impersonations: The Next Generation  is a new installation and performance series which utilizes Web code as choreography. Computer language is transferred into "real life" transactions, re-used online, and re-sent onto stage. For SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 in Yokohama, Japan, which ran from Dec 17-19 2009, I set up an installation, which hosted the "hidden mechanisms" of several Websites. The performed Websites were fc2.com, google.co.jp, and yahoo.co.jp, which were listed as the three most used Websites in Japan (Alexa.org's web-ranking). A dancer (Yuka Takahashi), the audience, and I (starring as the three different Websites "personified") shaped the course of each performance, which took place within the "web-driven" environment.
