Heidi haLevi – PhD student at BIU’s Science, Technology & Society program, faculty member at HIT’s Learning Technologies Dept., Upgrade TA coordinator, and freelance interactive and game designer.
Research interests: Media philosophy, cultural criticism, representation technologies, literacy, constructs of self, ludology, ontological and aesthetic aspects of digital technologies, and infomysticism.

Upcoming issue #06 will contain a piece on Crime-Bots in virtual worlds and their function as dialectical agents. I shall analyze how they embody the meta-narrative of the environment set in motion by the ideological boundaries of the technological platform.
This Hebrew publication will be a short but focused development of my conference presentation from last year: Crime-bots as Dialectic Agents in Virtual, Online Role-playing Environments.
