No Ghost Just a Shell

AnnLee is an avatar, a virtual being made in Japan for the animated film industry. She was intended as a third-rate character, one with few personality traits, designed to lead a brief life. In 1999, French artists Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno bought the rights to her, gave her a name, and initiated a project to fill the empty entity AnnLee with stories and ideas generated by other artists and writers, including Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzales-Foerster, Richard Philips, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Molly Nesbit and Hans Ulrich Obrist.Huyghe, Pierre is the author of 'No Ghost Just a Shell', published 2003 under ISBN 9783883756646 and ISBN 3883756644.
