Douglas Story & Desdemona Enfield

Second Life is the land of User Generated Content (UGC) It is a world where Story & Enfield can freely create these works.

Bryn Oh’s Brain
What’s so amazing about a place… a space… a moment… a gift… like this crazy dwell between Bryn’s mosquito Ferris wheel and her sensorium cloud… is how capacious it is… how generous it is… and how it invites not just your brain… but also your body… to exist in resonance with it… in this time and in this space…
