FREE TONIGHT: Second Life presentation at Museum of Science, Boston
As part of the Cambridge Science Festival (which I’ve been thoroughly enjoying all week so far), the Museum of Science is hosting a talk titled “The Art of Living a Second Life” TONIGHT, Wednesday, April 25 at 7pm:
From the Cambridge Science Festival Wednesday schedule:
Second Life is a highly imaginative, online, 3-D rendered environment populated with avatars (graphic representations of people). In Second Life you can teleport, fly, do not age, live in a house, go to clubs, take classes, make and view art, or just “hang out.” Spanning more than 42,000 acres in real-world scale–larger than metropolitan Boston–Second Life is second home to over 2 million “residents,” many of whom collaboratively create its content. It is a place where real business is conducted using virtual dollars that can then be traded in the real world. Join a discussion about the creative, social and economic implications of Second Life. Participants include Wagner James Au, embedded journalist in Second Life, Pathfinder Linden, Community Manager for Linden Lab, John (Craig) Freeman, artist in Second Life. Moderated by Eric Gordon, Assistant Professor of New Media, Emerson College. Book signing to follow. Seating is limited. First come, first served. Tickets are available to the general public in the Museum lobby beginning at 5:45 p.m. the night of the program.
If you think you’ll be there, lemme know. You can send me email, DM me on Twitter, or write on my wall in Facebook.
