Welcome to Episode 49 of Light
On Light Through
in which I converse with digital
artist Ken Hudson aka Kenny Hubble of and about Second Life.
At ten million accounts and growing, the vibrant virtual community
of Second Life is becoming a way of life for many. Ken
interviewed me in his Media Ecology Second Life series a few weeks
ago, and I'm still enjoying it. Ken and I talk about life in
Second Life - how to do it, how to live it, and its relationship to
real or "first" life in everything ranging from art and music to
(of course) sex. Whether you're an old hand at Second Life, a
newbie, or just want to learn more about this fascinating place,
you won't want to miss this special 40-minute interview (and,
actually, there is no way that you can, because it will always be
available here - and likely somewhere in Second Life, too).
Plus - my avatar reads from
The Plot to Save Socrates
in Second Life in December 2007 - enjoy the videoclip....
"Athens, 2042... Sierra Waters had always done everything for the
thrill..."
