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.

Mixed Body
I was so intrigue when I saw the Mixed Body performance. I thought it was interesting how the pictures where to be projected in real time and the dancers interpret the movement of the fingertips. It really added to the show not knowing how the dancers were going to move. I thought it was so inventive to mix the movement with organization yet it was not organized because we did not know how the movement would be translated. The show was constantly changing with fresh pictures and fresh movement. To offer so many forms of expression the viewer was able to still focus on what was being presented in front of them. I think it was above interactive because it engaged the actor and the viewer.
Story Time
Installation Proposal
I intend to use the conventional idea of story telling but incorporate the elements of media to do it. I will design the initial beginning of the story in Second Life using music, words, and structures built in Second Life. The visitor will be able to immerse themselves in the story actively by touching the certain points, porting to websites and moving to different locations. It will never be clear what will happen next and how the next part of the story will be delivered.
An actual installation can exits in the real world with active walls, computers and music to heighten the effect. I chose this method because it incorporates mediums that I am interested in. I want to experiment with how people receive information, how a story can be more active, how the imagination can be worked and intensified.
