A very nice Virtual -> Real transformation I couldn’t have done better ;-)
Flying penis’ are nothing very unusual in Second Life. A so called greefing attack on Anshe Chung during an Interview at CNET in Second Life last year draw quite some attention. Last week somebody reenacted this “performance” during a speech of Garry Kasparov in Real Life! This is just hilarious. And another prove on how the net data space influences every day life in physical space. The “artist” must have know about Second Life greefing attacks, I bet.

Thanks for the link Sascha !

I finally managed to put together a documentation about Second City Ars Electronica 2007. The festival invited me to make a design for Marienstrasse, to show my work and to involve other artists in collaboration for the Second City all relating to metavers and Second Life.

Pics info and more on the project page.

I had a great team! Thx to everybody!

Export to world is a beautiful project by Linda Kostowski and Sascha Pohflepp which was part of a series of Second Life workshops I organized for Second City at Ars Electronica 4.-11.9.2007.

Visitors could buy objects from Second Life for Linden$ (converted to €) in Real Life at the Second City Shop – Ars Electronica. But in fact they got a DIY self papercraft sheet of the 3D object from which they had to create the real paper object themselves. The project relates to the fact that it is not possible to copy protected objects in Second Life. But exporting them to world overides this protection. We had a lot of fun papercrafting Second Life items at Ars!

Check out all the nice objects they made available, download a PDF, print and build your own bubble gum machine! (this pic is not a photoshop!!!)
