More oral history / (mini) documentaries from Second Life coming in late summer?
Current supporter base: 56. Can we go to 100 by end of August? YES WE CAN!!!
Tune in for the next retrospective/fun(d)raiser stream on May 4th at 9am SLT (yes, that is Pacific Time, you knew that, no?) & show your support, financially or just by BEING THERE 😘
After a bit of soul-searching (ok let’s be honest: it lasted 3 minutes) I decided I must continue what I had been doing for the past almost 18 years: building an audio/visual mosaic, a repository of histories, a library of very personal stories, advocacy documentary if you will, focusing on the people behind the avatars who built and are STILL building this vast virtual universe we call Second Life.
For some it is “just” a game …
… for some it is literally a SECOND life …
And whatever YOUR impetus to log in, create, build, explore, foster community: it all matters!
SL, precisely because of the ABSENCE of gamification-type incentives, may just unleash our human potential in the digital realm.
Ok, I feel like a broken record now, because - spoiler alert - I talk about this all the time …
I shall end it here. You know my take on all this right?
So please mark May 4th 9am and if you read this post AFTER that date > watch the recording and pledge (if you can afford it)?
Also: leave a comment with YOUR fave story I produced so maybe we play it on the live stream?
Thank you!
I am confident we will get to our goal of 100 sustaining supporters.
And if not: I did promise my beloved Gretsch guitar - when the Linden Lab contract was not renewed - that I would now spend more quality time with her …. she is waiting …
See you in-world!
