If you think about Andy Warhol & Robert Mapplethorpe, their artistic practices and sensibilities were pretty different, but I think their underlying world views were fairly in sync. On the other hand I kind of suspect that while Paris Hilton & Britney Spears seem to have similar aesthetics, that their underlying ideologies are actually different.

NicoleX Moonwall is what Second Life is all about.

Artist Brian Feldman said his Friday performance-art piece, Brian Feldman Marries Anybody, was intended to show how two complete strangers of opposite sexes can marry in Florida, while a loving same-sex couple does not enjoy the same right, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported.

If you need still more irony in your breakfast cereal, consider that the fictional film “Avatar” was #1 at the box office again this week… even as real Avatars are being executed on Facebook!

I recently started the Moment series. They’re just “moments” large or small that stumble across my virtual…

Hello Seasprite! You mentioned some TV show… I’ve never seen it… but I should tell you what…

I’m going thru some serious withdrawal pains with Touchgraph being down. So I’ve been shopping for alternate FB Friend Visualizations.

You can clearly see the “cancerous” sovereign nation of Second Life continue to, like nanobots with a defective self-replication-stop switch, take over my network.

In this frame you’ll notice a giant blob of friend-protoplasm threatening to take over this Friend Network Visualization! Yes, it’s that tightly interconnected army of Second Lifers!
