Cica Ghost’s ‘Forest’: A monochrome wilderness

As the name suggests, the installation centers around a forest,…

Halloween in Second Life is a huge thing, and there’s no escaping the haunting atmosphere that sweeps across the grid. Pumpkins, scarecrows, zombies, eerie cornfields, and skeletons seem to materialize everywhere you look, and as the weeks roll on, you might find yourself yearning for a change of scenery, perhaps even hoping for snow-covered landscapes…
Where have I been, where should you?
WordPress sent me some sad messages about the poor state of this blog. And yeah, I know….I have been neglecting this site. Sorry, Site! Not blogging here, doesn’t mean I have not been in Second Life.

A tropical beach, cool Norway and scary jellyfish…
In the words of the famous Dutch football player Johan Cruyff, “Every disadvantage has its advantage. Just last month, a mere 10 minutes after the Fantasy Faire opened, my trusty old PC decided to crash and burn. Although the timing was far from ideal, considering its nearly 12-year lifespan it was actually quite remarkable that…

Edit 1: The date of the Award Ceremony is 6th May and not 7th! Edit 2: For the public voting, the film with most amount of LS in their Kiosk will win, not the number of votes! For the second year the Fantasy Faire Film festival organised a film competition. Rules were pretty straight forward….
