A newly posted look aroun the Rezable sims in Second Life and set, appropriately, to music by the Pink Floyd. Relish.
This is the highlights clip of the 1st Virtual Music Award 2008 in Second Life organised by Mediaculture. For more music clips inworld see the Arts Bog at http://malburns.wordpress.com
Song by Tom Waits filmed in the Second Life location of the Chtulha Shrine, which is a tribute to HP Lovecraft. An extrememly interesting place indeed.
Just over a month ago a group of Second Life musicians performed together live at the Rockit Room in San Francisco. We completely missed this clip where Philip Rosedale turned up in the audience and spoke to one of the performer, Keiko, about socialising inworld, matriarchy and why his avatar looks so ... um! You know!
And you thought SL had it bad. A political conference in Russia yesterday came under attack from a familiar virus.
This is a concept (meaning not in any way official or complete) advertisement video for Dinosaurs Park in Second Life®.
Some things may be hard to see, but is because the original file is made for a 800x600 video resolution. So if running the Flash video in fullscreen helps, I suggest using it.
For some politicans, the end is near: comic books and Rock'n Roll were not able to destroy culture, but SL sure will! In contrast, the Bavarian State Library enters the metaverse with hopes of spreading knowledge. Draxtor Despres is confused!
The latest from our favourite roving reporter.
Riving reporter Sphie yates came across this strange place. In her words ...
"I was visiting the Bay City sims since when upon logging into SL the LL's mentioned it so i did and came upon this place. Pretty odd but cool. So I decided to film the place. I don't think it makes any sense and it may be dark but then again interesting. One person i met there was a bit shocked and said it was sick really. In poor taste. I just thought it was kind of neat how they got the lighting in there with the windows and the sun shining in. Not sure why there is a Mental Institution in SL maybe they send Linden employees there for a little rest and relaxation after working on new releases? There's everything else you can think of in SL so why not this? Enjoy!
OK - It's an advert but it does show the extent to which some brands are using second life.
Just posted by Nick Mitham at KZero, his is the full length version of the L'Oreal Paris machinima and a lot of the action takes place in the Greenies Sim which we all know and love anyway. No sound on this though.
