These fictitious characters are typically created with computer-generated animation, and are designed to accumulate audiences on social media, and promote messages or commercial partnerships. <\/p>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"accordion\"\n        role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Accordion content\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n                \n\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Learn-more-\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Learn-more-\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Learn-more-\">Learn more <\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Learn-more-\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <p>Since 2016, both the number and popularity of virtual influencers have grown dramatically. Collaborations with large global brands have inspired the formation of companies specialising in virtual influencers production, and attracted millions of dollars in venture capital. <\/p>\n<p>Working within Curtin\u2019s Influencer Ethnography Research Lab IERLab, Rachel\u2019s research combines methods including digital ethnography, interviews, and archival web and press research to explore the social media practices of virtual influencers, the intentions of their creators, and the organisation of the industry that surrounds them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVirtual influencers are an essentially transnational object of research. Their origins trace back to technological innovations in Japan\u2019s idol industry and Hollywood special effects in the 1990s. Nowadays, virtual influencers claim to live all over the world, and are particularly popular in markets across Asia and Latin America. My project aims to recognise the diverse national contexts in which virtual influencers operate, and applies an intentionally transnational and translingual methodological approach to understand their global evolution and impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n        \n                            \n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        \n<\/mimas-block><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_607485363.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_607485363.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_607485363-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_607485363-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Futures Research Themes and Collaborations<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Explore research and networks shaping Global Futures across Curtin and<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>beyond.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><br>Global Futures showcases Curtin\u2019s diverse research into the challenges and possibilities shaping our world \u2014 from media and migration to sustainability, ethics and creative practice.
