Statement:
I have been very interested in exploring the idea of second life, so here is my attempt at trying to reach that goal. Second life is a weird concept to me, because it led me thinking of after life or the idea of double life/identities, and this software itself I think had explained a lot why it's called this way. People get to be other people in different disguises that sort of represent themselves in this virtual environment, each players achieve different things in this game, some use it as a game engine and social interaction site, others simply use it for creating art, second life could mean anything to anybody. But I am more interested in the idea of two different identities and wanted to create an environment that sort of looks like a factory and I used everything completely white to generate the concept of "blank slate" or "tabula rasa". I believe there was an identity that was embedded inside everyone deep in our unconscious mind when they were born, and another identity that we chose to be for the rest of our lives. This is considered as my first project using Second Life, although I've been using it over the semester I still think this is new to me, a lot of things that I needed to know in order to achieve exactly what I imagined for my concepts.
