Installation

Plan and realize your Second Life Installation as an installation in Physical Space. Think carefully about how the concept will translate from the virtual environment to the physical environment. Since you may not be able to create all the surfaces and objects physically that you used virtually, what kinds of modifications will you have to make in order to get the same concept across?

Think about Margaret Morse's three concepts of:
1) the mobility of the viewer and the mirror of the screen
2) the de-centering of the viewer's orientation and identity
3) the viewer as "replicant"

Write a paragraph to accompany your installation, and attach it as a Note to your Second Life installation.

We will put up the final installations in TV Studio #1 for class on October 14.
