Avatars in shared virtual environments are usually described as representations of the users, but they can be much more than just an arbitrary icon ‘standing for‘ (re-presenting) somebody who is absent. In multi-user virtual reality avatars can be experienced by the users as presences or presentations of persons, as well as can be seen as re-presentations; and it is by this property that they allow for co-presence experience. This paper outlines a theory about the relation between persons and their avatars by focusing on both the experience of transmission (as opposed to simulation) and the experience of méthexis or participation (as opposed to representation).
