Second Life is a user-created 3D virtual reality internet world. Users ("residents") create and customize avatars (digital bodies) to interact with the 3D environment and other residents, using text and voice chat to communicate. Residents are able to build and create in a 3D environment using uploaded textures, 3D mesh and sound clips, prefabricated objects, in-world building-block tools, and programming scripts. 

I have used Second Life as a platform/medium for New Media art and mixed reality projects since 2005.  Collaborating with other artists and people in technical fields, I have created virtual art in which visitors from all over the globe experience immersive installations that integrate music, static imagery, video, narrative, interactive objects, and full 3D points of view.

Building in Second Life, via my avatar's interactions with the virtual environment; like a 3D program embedded into a video game world

ORIENTATION (2008 & 2011)

ORIENTATION was a multimedia promenade performance incorporating audience participation. The first performance of ORIENTATION was a Mixed Reality event in 2008, broadcast simultaneously to a real-life cinema in Amsterdam for art collective PLANETART's event PICNIC08 and also experienced live via Second Life: some participated as actors in the event, while others watched via in-world virtual video screens.

Attendees who were invited to participate in ORIENTATION event logged into Second Life from various locations around the world. They would then teleport their avatars to the event location, change into Bunnyken avatars, and follow directions from the actors (posing as ORIENTATION employees). Due to the nature of the performance, numbers were limited to 10 guests per performance.

​ArthOle reformed temporarily for the 2011 Odyssey Performance Art Festival to host a remixed performance of ORIENTATION. 

ORIENTATION employees:
Business Suits: Arahan Claveau and Nebulosus Severine
Police Officers: Dekka Raymaker (UK artist Andrew MacLachlan) & Penumbra Carter (US/UK artist Beth Holmes).

Virtual sculpture in Second Life by artist Nebulosus Severine. A large abstract chandelier-like object hangs suspended in a red room, spinning slowly, bathing the interior in a warm red light. Its long metallic tendril-like appendages are flexible, and move with the environment's virtual wind.
