Hollow II: Outlander and Serenity Mercier at SLEA7 is a captivating installation that explores the themes of time, history, and ecology through the eyes of Lazarus Outlander, a time traveler who witnesses the impacts of human actions on the natural world. The installation consists of several scenes that depict different moments in time, from the prehistoric era to the distant future, each with its own immersive soundscape and visual effects. The scenes are connected by a labyrinth of mazes & TP's that represent the temporal and spatial dimensions of Outlander's journey. As you wander through the installation, you will encounter various artifacts and clues that reveal the story of Outlander and his companion, Serenity Mercier, a researcher who studies the causes and consequences of climate change, colonization, and extinction. You will also discover how their personal and professional lives intertwine with the fate of the planet and its inhabitants.

This is a verse by Kobayashi Issa. 

Cica Ghost is an artist who makes amazing scenes in Second Life. The verse describes the feeling of a summer night, when the stars fill the sky and the breeze is soft and quiet. The poet thinks that the stars are whispering to each other, maybe telling stories or secrets or dreams. The verse is simple but beautiful, using pictures and sounds to make a sense of wonder and mystery.

Missing Melody

"What is a Missing Melody? It's that song in your head that you can't get out but not sure how it really goes. It's that temptation you want to have in your life so you can fight to resist. It's that place in your heart that is always waiting to be filled!" ~

24 Photos!

That's what I felt when I visited the 24hr "Oh Deer Café" on a small island. The aroma of fresh coffee, the taste of freshly baked bread, and the sight of many farm animals made me feel alive and curious. I wanted to explore every corner of this place, to find out its secrets and stories. 

But there was something else that caught my eye. Umbrellas and shoes hanging from overhead wires and in trees. It looked like a storm had swept through the island, leaving behind these odd reminders of its power. I wondered who they belonged to, and what they were doing when the storm hit. Were they running for shelter, or enjoying the rain? Were they scared, or excited? 

I felt a Missing Melody in my soul, a longing for something I couldn't name. Maybe it was adventure, maybe it was love, maybe it was both. I decided to stay on the island for a while, hoping to find the answer. Maybe I would meet someone who could sing the song in my head, or fill the place in my heart. Maybe I would find the Missing Melody that I was looking for!
