These environments include - among others - Massively Multiplayer Online Environments [World of Warcraft, EVE Online, Second Life], Social Networking Platforms [Twitter, Facebook, OpenSocial, Friendfeed], Social Gaming [Passively Multiplayer Online Game, Parallel Kingdom] and Alternate Reality Games [I Love Bees, Perplex_City, Year Zero].

The aim of this Augmentology project is to construct a new discipline. This discipline is to be formulated and documented appropriately online. This discipline is not intended for traditional academic ratification. Augmentology does not adhere to canonised standards of referencing and/or validation. All materials linked are accessible online. References are presented in order to encourage link-based - rather than directional - information accumulation". The software employed is created by Gravitron [info@gravitron.com.au]. Biography:"Mez does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic have done for ASCII Art: Turning a great, but naively executed concept into something brilliant, paving the ground for a whole generation of digital artists." (Florian Cramer). The impact of her unique code/net.wurks constructed via her pioneering net.language mezangelle has compared with Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall. Mez has exhibited extensively since the early 90s. Her awards include the 2001 VIF Prize [Germany], the JavaMuseum Artist Of The Year 2001 [Germany], 2002 Newcastle New Media Poetry Prize [Australia] and winner of the 2006 Site Specific Index Page Competition [Italy]. Mez is also a Reality Engineer and game theorist who practices _Poetic Game Interventions_ [the creative manipulation of MMO parameters in order to disrupt or comment on various aspects of augmented states].http://arsvirtuafoundation.org
