Created by Jeremy Owen Turner, Qiezli Hixantapo (b. 2010) is a personified configuration of "abstract" art and lives in the popular virtual world, Second Life. Originally a manually controlled entity (avatar), Qiezli's new purpose is to live autonomously as an "alien" agent ("bot").

Qiezli discussed at the Systems of Existence Panel
Qiezli's design intentions were briefly discussed by Jeremy at a panel for the group exhibition "Systems of Existence" which took place at the Turing Gallery on Extropia Island in Second Life. This event was curated by Gracie Kendall. Other panelists were: Alan Sondheim, Jo Ellesmere, Selavy Oh, Fau Ferdinand, and Erik Rzepka.
Jeremy recounted how Qiezli appeared to have "stage fright" when performing it's own personality for others. Always the night before, Jeremy and Michael (the programmer) managed to get Qiezli to behave as intended...maybe Qiezli already has it's own autonomous personality ;-)
