SUMMARY:The wide sky: An Opening Launch in Second Life
DESCRIPTION:Full website launch September 25\, 2017 \nIOTA: DATA is pleased to present a launch of the first of three commissioned web-based projects. IOTA invited artists J. R. Carpenter (UK)\, Jennifer Chan (Ontario)\, and Liz Solo to produce new web-projects. A digital research publication on the topic of web-based art communities\, digital aesthetics and the historie(s) of Web Art will be produced with writers announced late 2017. \nLiz Solo’s “The Wide Sky” is a story based on the fragmented memories of a scientist desperately trying to make sense of her deteriorating world. “During a recent archeological dig into the deep future\, researchers discovered a damaged memory sphere embedded in the floor of an uninhabited forest planet. Though much of the sphere was corrupted some of the data was retrievable. This Archive documents the artifacts that were recovered.” \nUsers may view the story in linear time or opt for the interactive timeline and be presented with a choice at the end of every video\, generating alternative outcomes. Visitors will be able to customize their avatar\, interact with props and experience the video narrative via screens inside each digital space. IOTA: DATA and Solo are co-hosting an online reception to launch this project in Second Life. Create your SL identity and join us. \nThe Archive (Website launch date September 25\, 2017): \nVisitors may also travel to the Archive’s Virtual Installation and Museum Exhibit currently housed on the Odyssey Simulator in Virtual Space.
