Ripple ~ A Meditation on Waves: Grand Reopening in Avalon Town


Ripple - an immersive art installation

Ripple is a highly interactive art project located in the virtual world of Second Life. Created by Douglas Story and Desdemona Enfield, with the sonic environment created by March MacBain, it can be found high above the Avalon Town’s Amicus Curiae sim, and may be visited by following this link.

Ripple is composed of approximately 600 primitive objects orderly arranged in an architectural fashion which are coated in moving video; video that changes in a fluid, rippling fashion in response to the visitor’s touch, accompanied by a wave of specially crafted audio.

This array of objects is enfolded by a faux landscape composed of interlocking sculpted megaprims which Desdemona created from data derived from a scale model which Douglas made.

A grand reopening event is being held on Saturday, June 15th from noon to 2pm. The installation is open every day to explore.
