Second Life is a 3D social networking site where participants can not only meet with each other but could also contribute to the design, coding and construction of their new world. But when the laws of physics have no meaning, when people can fly and when a large number of the women you meet are actually men, it is inevitable that this new world has evolved in ...er... unconventional directions that no longer simply mirror real life.
Some call it a better life while others say 'Get a life'. Through a series of in-world guided tours, public discussions and screenings of SL Machinima (videos made using SL avatars as actors) we will explore the work of artists practising in SL and some of the interesting cultural goings-on that are emerging there. |
