Another amazing Sim in Second Life

Avgi, Isle of Awakening

There is a tendency for Sims to kind of "flake out" in Second Life. They are often lovely but they look like 1970s Yes album covers. Like Roger Dean other worldly art work it is both lovely, but kind of also pisses me off.

Italian enjoying art in the virtual snow

TANALOIS2 di Alo e Tani



A group of Italians enjoying art in the virtual snow. This may be just me, but I notice that the French, Italian, Spanish, Swiss, Belgian crowd in Second Life seems to make nicer SIMS and enjoy Second Life more for the art of it. I also notice that Eurozone events have larger groups. In the Anglo-American SIMs (the vast majority) its more sex groups or commercial exchange. But English speakers are very likely to attend lectures, but I can't speak for Italians.



Google renders this as

Un gruppo di italiani che godono l'arte in mezzo alla neve virtuale. Questo può essere solo me, ma mi accorgo che i francesi, folla, italiano, spagnolo, svizzero, belga in Second Life sembra SIMS per rendere più piacevole e godere Second Life più per l'arte di essa. Ho anche notato che gli eventi della zona euro hanno grandi gruppi. In the Anglo-American SIM (la stragrande maggioranza) dei suoi gruppi di sesso più o scambio commerciale. Ma di lingua inglese è molto probabile che frequentare le lezioni, ma non posso parlare per gli italiani.

Lesbian club in Second Life

There is a ugly cold war that may or may not be happening in Second Life. I have meet many lesbians on SL VOIP who claim many men are making female avatars to have sex with lesbians in Second Life. Of course if this is true it means that most likely many men are pretending to be women to have sex with lesbian avatars who are themselves men in real life. Perhaps for this reason lesbian clubs in Second Life are some of the most exclusive spaces in Second Life, like this one with rules not allowing any male avatars.

On the other hand gay clubs never have rules not allowing any female as far as I have seen.

What do I think? I think there are a suspiciously high number of "lesbian" avatars in Second Life. And I think that the exclusiveness of the lesbian society is large part a guilty conscious from many of the men who come in to Second Life pretending to be lesbians, and maybe an effort to deny the obvious conclusion of the Second Life lesbian war.

That ghost town feeling

Route 10

Exploring Second Life is like a kind of dream where you encounter places that should not be empty, and yet they are.

A gaggle of stranger

A gaggle of strangers: the more time I spend on Second Life the more "friends" I make I know nothing about. One of the experiences of virtual reality, and internet social networks in general is that is reduces the meaning of contact. How many people did you wished you could have spoken to again, only to have them on Facebook each and every day until you start acting like you don't see them?

A tree as a work of art in Second Life

StarZ Art Corner

Isolahara Catteneo created this interesting tree. Second Life allows the creating of "living" objects as pure art. From a sociological view its interesting because over time the real world will have more and more of this precise kind of thing.

Imagine they build a virtual universe and no one showed up?

Bacchus Island - Center

Exploring Second Life is like finding yourself the last man after the end of the world. Many massive virtual constructions sit empty, much of the place is just a vast ghost town.

Beach house in Second Life

Sacred Yoni Jeweler Mall - bodywear silks & piercings

Beach houses are always popular in Second Life. Second Life is striking for the presence of water. Water is almost everywhere.

I remember that in University a writing teach asked the class to think of a favorite place, then asked how many of us had imagined water. Most of us had. I had imagined a trip in canoe in Canada. He said that class after class this was true. He pointed to the Jungian collective unconscious to explain it, but I always figured water is just a valued status symbol in our culture.

Porn brought alive and made art in Second Life

Sacred Yoni Jeweler Mall - bodywear silks & piercings

I know this place through Linda Lunt. The very baroque has inspired a few blog post before. I think there is a real culture event happening out there in the space that used to be called Porn, but is now called "The Internet." A new movement that creates creative art out of sexuality I call cyberbaroque

Reality Envy in Second Life

Farwell Island

There is some degree of "wealth play" in Second Life. I am usually more impressed on how little wealth play there is. Wealth, in most of its forms, is probably more of the removal of daily misery rather than enjoyment. It is my personal experience that the rich are no happier than other people, and what makes for joy in the rich is the same as what makes for joy in the poor. A poor person with a good marriage will be far happier than a recently divorced rich person.



In my own opinion I can't think of anything boring to do with a second reality as to build a yacht. It seems to me that people who let their imaginations go, who build things more separated from our concepts of wealth have the most successful SIM.
