I took a photo of his work for a blog post several months ago. Again, photos do not do these justice.

This was fun! You’re instructed to set the sun at midnight, turn local sound up, and “sit” floating way up where you can dance. There’s also a fembot avatar you can have.

The sim looks beautiful and more landscaping will be added during the hours it’s closed. Over 100 volunteers, both women and men worked on this project. The landscaping is by Heart Garden Center. This isn’t a fund raising event; it’s to raise awareness. Sixteen sponsors paid the tier for the week and I really wanted to make note of who they are. Their signs are tastefully displayed and everything looks really well integrated.

Wall of Shame by US artist Lorin Tone

The Wall of Shame is a multi-media build about Womens’ Rights issues focusing on recent developments in the US, which truthfully are not pleasant. It’s a very well-put together, awareness raising build.

This photo doesn’t do the art justice. One of the wonderful things about Second Life art is that you can walk around inside of it, as I did this colorful and beautiful work in order to experience it in many of its variations.

You can learn more about these artists here.

For my non-Second Life readers, a 24 hour event to coincide with the real world One Billion Rising campaign is being held inworld on February 14th. An awesome video has been made, easily found on Youtube or if you explore the topic here at wordpress.

This afternoon the organizers invited bloggers and journalists to preview the event sim and I was fortunate I had time to attend. Here, the women and men involved made themselves available to answer questions and provide links and information about the event.

The stage for dancing

The stage for dancing

The stage is huge. There are no stairs; it’s wheelchair accessible. You can pick up an OBR goodie box at the base of the ramp. It includes t-shirts for both men and women in 3 mesh sizes, in black or white. There’s also an OBR rising gesture. I picked up my t-shirt yesterday evening in front of Prim Perfect Headquarters as well as a clickable poster that gives an informative NC. I searched inworld for the teleport to PPH and landed in the water nearby, but I’m a girl who feels the sea instead of getting wet so it was fine.

I had to try out the dance machine!

I really like the dance machine; it has dances for singles as well as couples, dances for tinies and there are dance balls in the water under the stage for MerPeople. The water below can be seen thorough heavy glass in the dance floor.

The 24 hour event will be photographed and it will also be live-streamed. The schedules and details are well-covered on the One Billion Rising in Second Life blog.

No giant avatars, rlv restraints or leashes; there are plenty of other places available for those inworld. The event is General Maturity so those who are 16 and 17 may attend.

Besides the stage, there’s beautiful open space. I rested to gather my thoughts in a quiet corner of the sim. There is a script counter nearby and fortunately I’m almost always very low in scripts. Lag is something we all like to prevent as much as possible, no?

There are 18 amazing artists who’ve displayed work here. The green kiosks,  like the one in the left of the photo, are clickable to get NCs with bios of the artists.

I’ve taken photos of some of the art but I was enjoying my exploring and need to check my info as I was being somewhat of a sloppy reporter. There will be another two, possibly three posts about this preview because I took a lot of photos I’d like to share.

The sim will be open from midnight tonight until about noon tomorrow for residents to look at the art.
