Oh, the virtuality of it all
One of these is flesh, the other is not. Can you tell?
_______________________________________________________________________
I’ve been learning about virtual worlds. It’s a very strange journey. On the one hand, my imagination streams toward the possibilities of creating myself as a cartoon, and experiencing worlds in 3-D which exist through the looking-glass — er - through the monitor. On the other hand, (or is it the other side of my brain?) I’m compelled toward nature. I crave earth, dirt, bugs, clouds, more of the chaos and unpredictability that is nature’s realm. This was the first and most distinct response I’ve had to the unfolding of the virtual world called “Second Life.”
I wrote about it over at the Examiner. Come join me today on my other blog.
Stay real.
