The project is an immersive art installation in Second Life, the centerpiece of which is composed of approximately 1000 primitive objects which are coated in moving video accompanied by a densely layered sound effects bed. This complex and dynamic object floats over a landscape which is composed of a grid of interlocking sculpty megaprims which Enfield manufactured using mathematical data.
This derived from her work using real-world data from the USGS and NASA to create accurate models of actual landscapes within Second Life.
Although the landscape appears very much like the red rock country of Southern Utah…..it is in fact textured with one of Douglas’ macro flower photographs.

The video that rolls over the hundreds and hundreds of prims that surround you as you walk through was edited by Story using Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer.
Come. Walk through the storm, brave the faux elements and emerge magically dry. Be sure to grab an umbrella on your way in.
As usual with this duo’s pieces, please read and follow the instructions for the best viewing experience. The installation will be in place for an extended period.
A smaller version of this installation will also be in an exhibit viewed in the real world from Second Life.
Concurrent with the New Media Caucus panel Space: The New Frontier at the National CAA 2009, “@” is an exhibition that examines space and site.
With simultaneous locations in Los Angeles and Second Life (SL), “@”challenges artists to consider place & placelessness from within the context of networked culture.
The physical gallery space will be replicated within SL, featuring an actual window between the virtual and real worlds to observe and be observed.
The exhibition space will feature a floor-to-ceiling projection and a streaming video camera. This wall will serve as the interface between the Real Life (RL) in the gallery and its replication in Second Life.
Exhibition site: Southern California Institute of Architecture, Los Angeles, CA, and Seventh Eye in Second Life.
Congratulations Douglas and Desde!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But just imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Terrific blog!

Is using a copyright material as a reference to write articles illegal?

I understand that there are a lot of spam lately. Apparently it’s pretty difficult for guys to understand that relationships can be mutually beneficial. I can leave a meaningful awesome comment and add content and essence to one of your pages and you will give me a link in exchange. There are too many takers out there and they aren’t willing to help people out. Take take take! .

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I must express thanks to you for bailing me out of this particular difficulty. Because of researching throughout the world-wide-web and coming across views which are not productive, I was thinking my life was gone. Living without the answers to the issues you have sorted out by way of your write-up is a serious case, as well as the ones which could have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across your site. Your main know-how and kindness in touching a lot of stuff was crucial. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t discovered such a step like this. I can also now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your impressive and sensible guide. I won’t hesitate to recommend your site to anyone who needs to have recommendations on this subject.
43. Wesley Weatherbee | February 11th, 2012 at 11:29 am

I leave a comment when I especially enjoy a post on a site or if I have something to contribute to the conversation. Usually it’s caused by the passion displayed in the post I browsed. And on this post NMC Campus Community Events Calendar » STORMEYE-an immersive art installation by Douglas Story and Desdemona Enfield. I was actually excited enough to post a thought
I do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Is it just me or does it look like some of the responses appear like written by brain dead people?
And, if you are posting on additional sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you list the complete urls of your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
