Creativity I don’t even know where to begin. Anywhere you turn in Second Life, there is creativity; architecture, ballet, fashion, machinima, music, performance art, radio, theater, visual arts and writing. During my time in Second Life, I was curious about all and blogged, sometimes several times per day, about my impressions (http://nordanomjorden.wordpress.com/). It soon became clear to me that within all these areas there were people who excelled and the quality of what they produced was outstanding. There were moments then when I was so caught up in a performance or a reading or an installation that I lost track of time. I realize now, I was privileged to have been exposed to it. I was specifically engaged with the visual arts. Visual arts in Second Life comes in all shapes and forms, both two and three dimensional, and it all starts with a prim. There seems to be no limit to what people can create inworld using images, sculpties and most recently, mesh. Also let us not forget, everything in Second Life has been created by its residents. Every Second Life building, road, grass, water, poseball, snow flake, sign, animal, hair and piece of clothing has been created by someone who figured they would make something. All of the creations put together are Second Life. Photo to the left by Flora Nordenskiold
