Memento Mori

Back in the day, before Second Life became seized by commercialized fashion, people spent a lot of time creating immersive masterpieces, some destined to become great works of metaverse art in Second Life. Chouchou is one of those great works of art. Created in 2008 by Japanese pianist Arabesque Choche and vocalist Juliet Heberle, who together form the successful musical duet of Chouchou, the surrealistic sim was designed to complement and promote their ambient and dreamy music. Chouchou created a fervor throughout Second Life when it was initially opened. People streamed to the sim in record numbers. Over the years as Second Life evolved from a world of immersive creativity and metaverse design to a world more of commercial fashionism, Chouchou (and other fabulous builds) got lost by the wayside. Many people have never heard of Chouchou. Now, eleven years after it made its debut, it's closing its doors, possibly to be gone forever. There is much to see such as the above Momento Mori, an ethereal cathedral in the sky. I suggest when you visit to take the tour HUD offered to the right of the landing. Please visit before this magnificent build of Second Life yesteryear is gone forever.

 

In the meantime, or while visiting the sim, enjoy their latest creation, aptly titled Lost Utopia :
