Agatha Appears was started as a pure art project, funny story about two young people who meet at night. Story combines principles of stage design, film montage and html documents, common internet stereotypes and net critics. It imitates the process of teleportation, but in the process of making Agatha appeared a new server http://www.teleportica.org, where datas of real people, who want to be teleported are stored. Agatha Appears was a starting point for two other projects as well: http://will.teleportica.org http://art.teleportica.org.
