Filming Arthole and Avatar Orchestra Metaverse

For the occasion of the PICNIC08 I filmed the 2 great new works, showing art on Second Life is evolving to a higher quality level.

ORIENTATION – Arthole
a commentary on the nature of corporate conformity
by Arahan Claveau & Nebulosus Severine

Avatar Orchestra Metaverse
The New Economy – by Blaise DeLaFrance Voom

Using in-world instruments. The sounds grow stronger when the camera approaches.
Concerts are played with people all over the world.
Instruments are created specific for each piece. These instruments also feature visuals and animations, and performances of a jumping, hovering, floating, dancing and twirling Avatar.

Orchestra Metaverse is a truly unique and spectacular event.
The Orchestra approach Second Life as an instrument itself.
The result is dependent on both the performers and the virtual environment
in which they play. (D, I, CA, USA, N, UK)

Shown at PICNIC08 Amsterdam, MedialabEnschede 09.

Censorship on Second Life

Preview about the underground world in Second Life. Which parts are hidden and forbidden? Appearance is communication, and with total control of appearance, what is the desired reaction? Freedom of thoughts?

This work was a reaction of the article that paedophilia was found on Second Life, I tried to make a movie what this actually looked like. After this article many businesses backed out of Second Life, not wanting to be affiliated. Research and Think for Yourself!
