Second Night will be displayed both on Second Life and in the Jean Musy room at Hôtel d'Albret, 31 rue des Francs-Bourgeois (Paris, 4th district).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avatars and Parisians are invited to wander through the virtual or physical location of their choice to discover the work of around ten international artists.

The company offered high returns to its customers, which it  could only finance through payments by new customers. As the prohibition  on gambling resulted in many residents asking to recover their funds,  the bank could not honour its commitments. 190 million Linden dollars  (USD 750,000) went up in smoke. Legal proceedings will be held before  the American courts. This bankruptcy resounds the Russian bank, MMM,  which had a similar pyramid structure in 1997.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7902204542690022527-4068820925160908860?l=nbsl-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nbsl-en.blogspot.com/feeds/4068820925160908860/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7902204542690022527&amp;postID=4068820925160908860' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7902204542690022527/posts/default/4068820925160908860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7902204542690022527/posts/default/4068820925160908860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nbsl-en.blogspot.com/2007/10/stock-exchange.html' title='Stock exchange crash'/><author><name>Slwriter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09215709459050936001</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902204542690022527.post-1635485897904424777</id><published>2007-10-05T23:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-04T00:43:44.884-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About Second Life'/><title type='text'>"Terrorism" on Second Life ?</title><content type='html'>At the end of 2006, a libertarian group appeared on Second Life. The “Second Life Liberation Army” (SLLA) criticised Linden Lab’s authoritarianism and is demanding the introduction of an avatar/voice system on Second Life. SLLA mainly makes a name for itself by “bombarding” virtually the Reebok and American Apparel stores. The media is in a rush to announce the onset of “virtual terrorism”, although SLLA’s bombs, which are inoffensive for “residents” and buildings only cause disturbance. A video of the attack on Reebok is shown below. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param value="http://youtube.com/v/71r5uUHaqm0" name="movie"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://youtube.com/v/71r5uUHaqm0" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7902204542690022527-1635485897904424777?l=nbsl-en.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nbsl-en.blogspot.com/feeds/1635485897904424777/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7902204542690022527&amp;postID=1635485897904424777' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7902204542690022527/posts/default/1635485897904424777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7902204542690022527/posts/default/1635485897904424777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nbsl-en.blogspot.com/2007/10/terrorism-on-second-life.html' title='&quot;Terrorism&quot; on Second Life ?'/><author><name>Slwriter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09215709459050936001</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902204542690022527.post-5622273109317036511</id><published>2007-10-05T23:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-04T00:45:00.483-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About Second Life'/><title type='text'>A new territory for evangelization ?</title><content type='html'>Probably inspired by the presence of Jewish temples, mosques and other Catholic churches on Second Life, the Italian Jesuits declared Second Life to be a “mission territory” in August 2007.

During the Nuit Blanche, the local council is presenting an exhibition called “Second Night” and highlights the futurist, committed and often iconoclastic work of around ten international artists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a virtual building designed by the architect Ignazio Mottola, visitors from around the world guided by their “avatars” will be able to discover works crossing utopia and reality. Cameras in the physical location of the exhibition at Hôtel d’Albret, in the 4th district, will broadcast the Parisian show in real time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Night owls will be able to discover the universal world of Second Night there thanks to the design composed of computers and screens. Walkers will even be able to create avatars on site at the start of the walk and meet some artists whose works are real bridges between the two worlds and indeed influence their performance…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;An artistic project on Second Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second Life is a virtual world invented in 2003 where millions of users meet who have created an avatar. Unlike the beginnings of the internet, Second Life is a world created by a private company, Linden Lab. An actual economy based on a currency called Linden Dollars, which can be exchanged into US dollars, has been developed in this “parallel” world. Banks, estate agents, recruitment companies, all types of stores selling virtual articles, concerts, cultural activities, educational centres, political groups, stock exchange crashes, casinos (recently prohibited), activists, strikes, virtual criminals and obviously artists have appeared on Second Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This virtual world has witnessed the mass arrival of the entertainment industry, political world and private companies. However, behind the dreamlike dimension of landscapes and architecture, avatars surf freely based on three dimensions in the space – it is possible to fly like in a dream. Other more masked dimensions of this world can be explored:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest stage of pop where star avatars are increasing in quantity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new fragility relating to identities which depend on one click&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An exacerbation to the point of being absurd of the concept of market value&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An ecological masquerade in which an avatar in Second Life uses as much energy as a middle class resident of Brazil (1,752 kWh).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An oppressive society where avatars’ movements are monitored and analysed and each prank is reported and punished instantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An after-taste of the end of utopian societies, at a time where the concept of territory only tends to treat people in terms of migratory flows of “labour values”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the Nuit Blanche, the two locations to visit the exhibition as an avator or an individual will display a perspective on this changing world. The event will bring together artists’ practices who, beyond the concept of reproduction, are faced with the various aspects of Second Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the artists invited, Valéry Grancher will put on a play on the issue of denouncement and crime on Second Life, Miltos Manetas, a wink at Andy Warhol through the imaginary world of video games.

So many false identities which simultaneously  hide and reveal their owner’s identity.

Which  laws and measures should be enacted? Where is the border between virtual  and real, how is it transformed? Here, Alain Della Negra and Kaori Kinoshita  present two videos: “Furries”, specially designed for the Second  Night physical space, devoted to owners of avatars with hybrid appearance,  half-human, half-animal, and “Newborns”, in the virtual space where  two “residents” talk about their virtual existence.

He sees his role as an architect  not as a designer, but rather as a consultant in charge of helping residents  to draw up their own buildings. With his “&lt;i&gt;ville spatiale&lt;/i&gt;”  (spatial city), designed in the 1950s, he intended to enable citizens  to organize the city freely, to build housing for which any modification,  transfer or destruction would only incur low costs due to their mobility  and possible reuse. It is built up from this in successive layers. There  are few constraints: the resident can move the housing freely around  the implemented network. Due to its straddled system, the spatial city  can be superposed onto any other city.

Here, Miltos Manetas presents a new version of his play, “SuperMario sleeping”.
