From “42nd Street,” to “West Side Story”, Caledonia shares a selection of music from the shows that celebrate NYC.
WYB S04E07: Bloom Light Show Residency at SLEA
The latest edition (S04E07) of “Where Have You Been?” — the VCRadio original series that features places to go and things to do around the Second Life Grid — takes a look at a stunning multimedia art experience at the Second Life Endowment for the Arts.
“Semence: A Digital Odyssey” is a light and particle show created by Lalie Sorbet and Chrix. The name “Semence” means “seed” in French, and also refers to the reproductive cell of all living forms. This symbolizes the essence of the artists’ exploration of a digital world filled with pixels, colors, shapes, and effects. “Semence” represents a journey through the cycle of life, from inception to growth and beyond, and uses the full potential of Second Life, integrating particles, meshes, animesh, and other effects to create a memorable experience.
These light shows really are unlike anything you’ve seen on this grid. Not only can you observe the show, but sit in the chairs provided and you will soon find yourself immersed in the show- literally, flying amidst the emerging and changing shapes and colors. The artists say, “Semence” is more than just a show. It is a metaphor for life’s journey. We want you to be more than just a spectator. Visual effects will seamlessly incorporate you into the narrative, making you an integral part of this digital adventure. Join us to witness and participate in this fusion of technology and art, where every element is a seed sown to cultivate wonder, growth, and inspiration.
