Designing Worlds pays a visit to Relay for Life in Inworldz

Our latest show in Inworldz is now on the web!

Join us as we journey to a different grid – Inworldz – to explore a very special new event in progress there – Relay for Life of Inworldz, which will reach its climax with a Relay Weekend on the 3rd and 4th November.

Although Relay for Life of Second Life is a huge event and raises millions of Lindens for the American Cancer Society every year, this is the first time that a full Relay program has been run in the much smaller Inworldz grid, with the backing of the ACS, and it’s fascinating to see how things are developing there – in some ways very similarly to the early Relay for Life in Second Life events.

We yalk to some of those involved, and some familiar names from Second Life (and from Relay for Life in Second Life), including Bain Finch, Nber Medici, and the well-known DJ Ayron Dagger, who spoke so movingly about a renewed fight against cancer during the Telethon this July.  And wealso chat with  Elenia Llewellyn, both about this event, and about how things are progressing in Inworldz.

Not Everything is Plain Black and White … on the web!

If you missed seeing our recent show from Inworldz – you can now catch it on the web!

Dancing with statues at ‘Not Everything Is Plain Black & White’ in Inworldz

We visited Inworldz to explore a fascinating art installation by the artist Fuschia Nightfire – who is also well-known in Second Life.

‘Not Everything Is Plain Black & White’ and is being staged on the Falathrim region by Fleure Homewood. This is an immersive installation and – to help you become a part of it – Fuschia has supplied a range of hairs, clothing and skins freely available to visitors.

There is a path to follow and hidden corners to discover (it’s well worth braving the metallic spiders!). As we explore, Fuschia and Fleure talk to us about the installation, and about the capabilities of and advantages of building and showing Art in Inworldz.

(If the video fails to display here, see it at the Designing worlds site)
