Second Front is the pioneering performance art group in the online avatar-based VR world, Second Life. Founded in 2006, Second Front quickly grew to its current 8 member troupe that includes Jeremy Owen Turner (Vancouver), Doug Jarvis (Victoria), Tanya Skuce (Vancouver), Gazira Babeli (Italy), Penny Leong Browne (Vancouver), Patrick Lichty (Chicago), Liz Solo (St. Johns) and Scott Kildall (San Francisco). Taking their influences from numerous sources, including Dada, Fluxus, Futurist Syntesi, the Situationist International and contemporary performance artists like Laurie Anderson and Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Second Front creates theatres of the absurd that challenge notions of virtual embodiment, online performance and the formation of virtual narrative. Created in 2006, they have already performed extensively, including in Vancouver, Chicago, New York, and has been featured in publications including SLate, Eikon, Realtime Arts (Australia), The Avastar (published by Axel-Springer, Germany) and most recently in Exibart (Italy).

2020.07.26今年不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因4月初台北市知名酒店女公關確診,引發「酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容全台酒店歇業」,復業之後政府也祭出實名制,讓所有上門的客人都要登記證件,如果業者被查獲連續3次沒有落實,將勒令歇業。不過我在酒店上班的日子確診女公關的酒店似乎根本沒在怕,18日警方上門抽查,就發現業者居然為了攬客,通融7名酒客未登記身分,後續酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?案件也將交給衛生局裁罰。酒店公關小姐排排站,拿身分證配合查驗單位查驗身份,酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?5月底北市酒店解封,但當初開放復工條件可是相當多。酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?:「今天實施臨檢也是要配合店家來做防疫的工作。」這裡是林森北路的酒店一條街,酒店大解封後,民眾現在上門消費都拿出身分證來實名登記。當時CDC曾經公布,北市一家酒店的女公關小姐J小姐(確診)武漢肺炎,因此全台酒店都來關閉,而且網友當時還封這是(國定)上岸日,沒有想到酒店解封之後,就在6月中的時候,警方來做稽查卻發現同一天有7名的酒客沒有落實登記實名制。警方都傻眼,不是1個、2個,一個晚上同一家業者被抓出7人未登記,但業者喊冤說有工作人員,但坦承確實為了業績違反規定。北市衛生局疾管科長余燦華:「依據傳染病防治法,對(初犯)業者裁處3千以上1萬元以下罰鍰,如果3次累加的違規事項,我們會請他們先停止營業。」由於業者申訴案件調查當中,但酒客未落實實名制是事實,後續將被開罰,台灣疫情趨緩,回歸正常生活,但出入複雜又幾乎近距離接觸的酒店,就怕相關單位不嚴查重罰,實名制淪為玩假的。
