"You’re an avatar, you’ve got someone controlling you in realtime!” The reply, when it comes, is not from Galatea. The velvet curtain moves violently; tiny gold tacks shower out of the wall; half the backdrop wrenches free, thanks to the opening of a door beyond. “Hi,” says the newcomer. “Behold the Great and Powerful Oz,” she adds under her breath. “What?” You stare down at her: she’s rather short, a little on the dumpy side, and dressed in a ripped pair of blue jeans. An unlikely source for that performance you just observed. She cocks her head to one side. “Sorry to disappoint, “ she says with a smile. “It was an experiment that — well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was curious what people would say. Hope you don’t take it personally.” You glance at Galatea — lifeless now that her controls have been switched off — and then back at the artist. “You could start by telling me your real name.”"
