Second Life Objects - TV Unit



The TV People are at it again. Looks like new company branches have been formed: the DVD Player People and the Xbox People!

Objects


I have built a crate and a television set, which I put together to create a makeshift lounge room! Now that I think about it, it's very reminiscent of Haruki Murakami's short story The TV People, about three people who creep into rooms and set up TVs in them, without speaking or acknowledging whether or not anyone can see them.

Week 2 T-Shirt & Earth

My first object: Earth.

Apology Baxton's new t-shirt with a Björk stencil on the front and odd ducks on the sleeves.

Second Life Intro & Locations

On Second Life, my name is Apology Baxton. Apart from Victoria University, I visited three locations and took snapshots.


LOCATION 1:

Location Name?
Club Neptune.

Region?
Angel Shark Shallows.

People Online?
Nobody, as I didn’t check the time of the gig and thus the club is currently empty.

What is done there?
Live music performances, dancing, clubbing etc.

What is your opinion of it, and why?
It is nicely designed with a large dancing space, a nice stage and is underwater thus the view outside is quite marvellous.

Would you visit again?
Yes, though I would come at the right time for a gig.


LOCATION 2:

Location Name?
China Forbidden City.

Region?
Versu Richelieu.

People Online?
There are three other people online.

What is done there?
Sight-seeing and taking snapshots.

What is your opinion of it, and why?
It is nicely designed, very large and a nice visual representation of the real Forbidden City in China.

Would you visit again?
Possibly to explore further.


LOCATION 3:

Location Name?
Sala Island.

Region?
Sala.

People Online?
Eleven all in one area, sitting in a circle.

What is done there?
Its description says Sala Island is for new comers with information for them. It also seems to be a holiday location with riding trails and wedding locations, etc.

What is your opinion of it, and why?
It’s extremely large and has a lot of work put into it.

Would you visit again?
Perhaps to explore further as it goes up into the sky for miles.
