A Manifesto
The really, really, interesting stuff in Second Life is the stuff you can’t do in the real world. Forget the pitched roofed buildings, the low res vehicles, the autistic geek avatars, - these are the re-creations of an external reality - mere reproduction.
Expand your mind. Enter the dreamtime. Imagine and create something that you couldn’t ever possibly make in the real world.
This is a blog of a serious artistic intention to do things that can’t be done in other places, to do things that are unique to the environment in which they were created. And this environment is Second Life - an interactive two dimensional representation of a three dimensional digital world.
There’s also a secondary function to show some of the best art created in Second Life by the many photographers and artists that inhabit the place.

Hello World, originally uploaded by Gaynor Gritzi.
You know, been thinking about this lately. Like most folks my initial attempts at building were modeled after existing reality. But SL isn’t limited to that. I vow to attempt to bend reality a bit in future building attempts. Enough of that and we might really change the world…
I just dance, I stink at building, but I love to dance! I enjoyed your dance hud you made, thank you! It joins a huge collection of dances I’ve been collecting since day one of my SL existence, and now dance movements I’ve been learning to create. I know of some of your work through Fey’s. I look forward to reading your blog too
