Social interactions in the digital world, analyzed through its mediation by screens, opens the theatrum mundi to virtual spaces. The complexity of virtual-social roles is a reflection on the avatar-oriented conversion of the network society. This orientation plays the role of a utter mask and is the basis for the performing simulations of the internet society. In this context, we discuss the machinima as a digital-puppet theatre phenomenon mediated primarily by video games and spreaded through the network tools.
