Here’s an interesting wind powered streetlight from the Panasonic Center in Tokyo that I found on hyperexperience blog run by Leonardo Bonanni of MediaLab. I’m a big fan of using these Vertical Axis Wind Turbines for integrating into urban skylines when traditional propellers often seem too dramatic.

Korova Milk Bar Speaking strictly from personal observation, the residents of Second Life have spent considerable energy creating spaces inspired by literary reference. Some are based on specific authors and works such as John Norman's Chronicles of Gor, others are simply evocative nods to science fiction and fantasy novels that lack obvious attribution. Star Wars fandom notwithstanding, there seem to be far fewer spaces drawing their inspiration from traditional cinema (an admittedly clumsy qualifier used to differentiate it from the rise of spaces serving machinima, whether they take the form of backlot sets or personalized screening rooms).

The self-described sardonic jackass Lordfly Digeridoo is known on occasion to betray his declared modus operandi with insightful and entertaining rants on his blog. Easily one of the most prolific builders in Second Life, the portfolio on his site merely scratches the surface of a body of work dating back to SL's earliest days. In fact, last month he posted about a collection of historic photos capturing Second Life's sum total of 108 sims as they existed back in March 2004, and was able to identify many of his own builds in the snapshots.

Continuing a look at curated virtual spaces, the Art of Nature Gallery in Philudoria ( 185,115,47) dovetails nicely into the discussion as a contrast to the monumentality of the Grignano Public Art Museum and the cacophony of the Curious Kitties Boutique. In speaking with owner Horus Baker, the original concept given to builders Endira Udal and Rez Menoptra of Kush Design Lab was to create a 'gallery in the park' from which to exhibit original works of nature photography. Rez and Endira, partners in both SL and RL, have crafted an engaging dialectic between built and natural elements in a manner that seems to contextualize and heighten the experience of the artistic work relative to its surroundings.

   From the 'Actual Virtual Suburbia' File: Evidence of a highly efficient SL-RL data exchange mechanism, as documented by helicopter pilot / photographer C.O. Ruiz. Have a look at the entire gallery for some stunning and surreal images. These photos make it obvious that somebody's been holding out on us. Jeffrey Gomez, Csven Concord, I'm looking at you, perhaps??
