Today was our last class meeting but for the finals. Today was the day that I showed the theatre off to my class. Before I showed my project off, Eli went ahead and showed off his artwork. He created a dumpster that you could actually go inside and see a gallery! There were pictures of artworks that have sold for millions of dollars, even some that would sell for over $100 million! Eli made the point that he thought these works were not that professional and don't deserve to be sold for that much.
I then showed off my theatre. Everyone seemed to gave a good time checking it out, and I ended up showing off a few PREF1X music videos while the class was in Second Life. Ann, who is a master to us at Second Life, was proud that I accomplished the theatre in as many prims as I did.
Next up was Kate. We flew into a sphere that had us inside a globe. Once inside, we saw floating pictures of the artist, along with a web of words (that are her thoughts). All the words are connected like a brainstorm map, and then there are gears spinning around accompanying the animation.
XiaoQing created a UFO shaped building that is always rotating, inspired by a case study for a future rotating skyscraper in Dubai. It was pretty fascinating but because of the technical difficulties, our avatars wee not able to enter the structure. The work was very sought after, but only a true second life expert may have the possibility of completing this rotating building.
Corrie created a dream bedroom with a lot of high visual imagery that included photos of landscapes, drawings, and mini planets that would rotate. It was very nice to hear that her inspiration came from a high school and college dream room. This was basically the translation of what was in her head. It was very saturated and stimulating.
Lizzy showed us a brain floating in the air with a creepy long tail that would flop back and fourth. It was suppose to be a recreation of a work she made in real life. She also had a separate artwork that included a frame that would show off a bunch of her real life paintings. It would flash every so few seconds with a different work.
Last up was the team of OT1+OT2 (or that's what they like to refer to them selves as. They created a building that was pretty cute and was made with what I believe was just only a few prims. But for some reason with my SL viewer, I wasn't able to see a building shape. I saw a bunch of spheres that made up the building space, but that was it. Seeing it on a mesh enabled viewer, the building seems completely solid. It was a very fun concept where the lamb animal cookies play as the characters in this work. Some of these lambs were floating in the air by a single balloon. Again, very cute!
It looks like all the Second Life projects have been presented. What a wonderful semester of exploring a new program. Very groundbreaking!
