Latest in Second Life SculpturesW Delappe is an Art Prof at the University of Nevada - Reno
This is his 17 foot reconstruction of an avatar, MGandhi Chakrabarti which was created to revisit in the virtual reality of second life, Ghandi's salt march.
It took Delappe 26 days to complete the march using a custom rigged treadmill connected to the second life environment.
After completing this virtual salt march Delappe continued to ponder ways to reconstruct the virtual life of his avatar. The result: a 17 foot cardboard cutout that dwarfs its original creator.
This work was in progress at Eyebeam Gallery in New York when I was there in June. Its good to see the final product.
Is this the scale of Second Life!? Reminds me of Paprika a little.

Also, reminds me a little of some portraits of second life avatars done by a virtual photographer. More about this once my webmynd recovers.
