Second Life In Cross

[Jim Ruxton]

I am back in Toronto after an amazing time at the Container. Thanks to everyone in Palmers Cross who made it such a memorable time. It was sad that we didn't get to have our gala celebration due to the tropical storm. I really enjoyed facilitating the Second Life workshop. Thanks to Ian Murray and Judith Doyle for helping from Toronto so that we would have Second Life space to work in. Everyone taking part in the workshop constructed a building around the container or in one case, Cheryl constructed a Second Life version of her Palmers Cross home. Here are a couple of pictures of the Second Life version of the container constructed mostly by Winston . I'm hoping the other participants will post pictures of their structures.

While I was there we took a trip to Kingston one evening and I gave a lecture/demonstration of Second Life at the Unesco Headquarters. It was well attended by artists, teachers, politicians and government officials. Following is a couple photos from that evening.

I am looking forward to when we get space to put up the structures in Second Life on a permanent basis. Eventually we will also put up stories, videos and music produced in Cross on Second Life. Now that I'm back in Toronto I'll be meeting with friends in Palmers Cross on Second Life, hopefully bridging the geographical divide between us.
