A mixed-reality improvisation between performers in the virtual world of Second Life and performers in Real Life at the International Society of Improvised Music (ISIM).
ISIM is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together performers, educators, researchers, students and community members from across the world, in an effort to recognize improvisation as a powerful tool for achieving this integration.
Second Life performers dance with improvised music from Real Life at ISIM. Real Life performers are Pauline Oliveros - electronics, harmonica & small instruments with spoken word artist Ione & dancer Heloise Gold. Second Life animations and performance by Josephine Dorado, John D. Mitchell, Edo Paulus, Christine Benham, Lauren Watson and Sean Nevin - performing from Arizona, New York, and Amsterdam.

About Invisible Threads:
Invisible Threads is a mixed reality performance installation created by Eyebeam artists Jeff Crouse and Stephanie Rothenberg. The project explores the growing intersection between labor, emerging virtual economies and real life commodities through the creation of a designer jeans sweatshop in the metaverse Second Life. Simulating a real life manufacturing facility that includes hiring Second Life “workers” to produce real world jeans sold for profit, the project provides an insider’s view into current modes of global, telematic production.
dead daddy
av•a•tar/ˈavəˌtär/
Noun:
A manifestation of a deity in bodily form on earth
An incarnation, embodiment, or manifestation of a person
In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user
In exploring digital identity and desire, I began thinking about Second Life and the people who utilise the technology as being in some kind of perpetual movement away from death: a denial as such. In Second Life, there is no ageing, no rotting of the flesh. Secondarily there exists an eternal life in these new technologies – from forever live Facebook memorials frozen in time, the gravesites and dead celebrity avatars that still walk this virtual land and the pun of the program name itself. Despite this, every time I log out of Second Life my avatar dies – dissolution of pixels disappearing into the black – only to be reborn, unchanged, at the click of a button. When I die, or kill my Second Life, she will remain a cyber-ghost, forever condemned to the black. Thirdly, when using digital identities we are somehow detached, separated by the false sense of security the safety of the screen gives us.
After working with a number of deceased doppelganger avatars roaming Second Life, dead daddy brings the idea of resurrecting the dead into a more personal space. Commencing with an intimate 3D rebuild of my own dead father, I used my self-portrait avatar to recreate lived or dreamed experiences from my childhood alongside him. Like the avatars themselves though, these experiences were hollow – it was always me operating my father’s avatar, making him speak and move like some sad puppet. Humorous and horrific at once.
Merging rephotographed real life images and Second Life footage of my father’s avatar in a 21st Century ‘exquisite corpse’, this work plays on death, desire, memory, loss and the materiality of the body.

During this Kidz Connect workshop, we connected students at the Academy of Urban Planning in Bushwick (Brooklyn), New York, with students at the IVKO Montessori School in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Using a mixed reality combination of Skype for real-time video chatting, and the virtual world Metaplace, the students got to know each other, while building a 'virtual street fair' together in Metaplace, in which each student mapped images of their interests and neighborhood onto street fair booths. Through this virtual street fair, students in New York and Amsterdam interacted and learned about each other and their respective differences and sameness.
In this screenshot, you see the Metaplace street fair booths in the background and the Skype video conversation in the forefront. The students worked in Metaplace together while being able to see and interact with each other in the Skype window as well.
Note: The user-generated virtual world Metaplace closed down on January 1, 2010 at 11:59pm EST. While Metaplace was still open, it was possible to visit Kidz Connect world at metaplace.com/KidzConnect/play. Metaplace is no longer accessible.

This event is being brought to you through the CNRS (National Center For Scientific Research) and the APC (Astroparticule et Cosmologie) Laboratory. The APC laboratory lies at the interface between the study of the very large and the very small, and it brings together several communities (experimentalists, observers and theoreticians). It is centered on three themes: cosmology and gravitation, high energy astrophysics, neutrinos.
During the inauguration of The House of Astroparticule on 14 May, it will be possible to view the launch of the Planck satellite at Kourou (Guyana) at about 1300 UTC (6AM SLT), to visit its virtual replica and to meet with scientists during the conferences and the projections which will surround the event. APC Laboratories Second Life presence was created by i-Marginal, one of our French Solution Providers. (CNRS Press Release in French)
