The February 18 Teachers Buzz session took place underwater... and in a prehistoric world... and in hell... and in heaven. All those places were created by students in Michael Wright's (Mrags Writer in Second Life) Concepts and Issues in New Media course at Otis College of Art and Design. Each environment was created by one class working as a team, and each team had just 13 hours to complete the project. The results are spectacular.
Housed on Otis Island ... more » »

Thanks to an invite from Fleep Tuque, I and seven other educators got a tour and rich experience with PARSEC-- an installation? an immersive game? an interactive art piece? it is all very hard to define in words. PARSEC is a project created by Dizzy Banjo, Eshi Otawara and Chase Marellan... we thank Eshi greatly for allowing us to interrupt her to give us a tour.
On entering PARSEC (a giant seeming infiinite white dome), each of seven avatars dons a ... more » »

Last night was the premiere of the latest performance of DanCoyote Antonelli's ZeroG Skydancers- now in their third season in Second Life, the show has evolved even far beyond what was ground breaking territory with the new show called "Second Spring".
Second Spring is a completely live story performance-- the SkyDancers perform in-flight choreography without the benefit of animations or gestures of any kind following cues given in real time on a private IM channel from DanCoyote. He ... more » »
