Island overview
The empty space in the middle to the right of the mount, will be where the ground floor fine art building will be. There will also be a simple mono rail system installed over the summer to get around, for those new to Second Life controls.

Reading

"A world within a world, a graphic representation of the databanks of every computer in the human system; a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate users in the Sprawl alone. And by Case, computer cowboy, until his nervous system is grievously maimed by a client he double-crossed. Japanese experts in nerve splicing and microbionics have left him broke and close to dead. But at last Case has found a cure. He's going back into the system. Not for the bliss of cyberspace but to steal again, this time from the almighty megacorps. In return, should he survive, he will stay cured."

Cyberspace and virtual reality were invented in this book. It stands alongside 1984 and Brave New World as one of the twentieth century's most potent novels of the future.

3 Days

I have three whole days to get our island looking a little more interesting. Studio builds, communal space, amphitheater's, its all going on now! The more time I spend in this huge open space the more acutely I am aware of the things I chose to be in there. Take the wooden studio huts for example,
Plain and simple spaces for artists to play in. I like the blend of old and new but essentially I'm still building things I am familiar with in a world that is boundless. A primitive four wall hut (with glass windows might I add) seems basic right? A space within a space?

In laying out the foundations, communal spaces, places for people to gather and share ideas, not just perform or display is very important. This space here,
Will be the telehub, the spot that you arrive at once you teleport to Leodis. A general meeting point for all. So this is the progress so far one day in! I have a few friends who are artists in Second Life, Chi5 Shenzhou and Fau Ferdinand who are helping with the builds. They are far more skilled than I am and have lots of resources to contribute. Many thanks to you two! :)

Here are a few more images and links,

Performance space? Exhibition's? Just ideas..
