Pandora Box Of Dreams

From what I can gather Pandora Box of Dreams is an ever changing environment where the creative people of second life can bring their dreams to life.
When I visited it was Dream 003: The River Dream.

Landing in the sky you are greeted by the dream catcher who offers you a group invite.  If you are a member of the group it allows you to rez which is great for those photographers who wish to use their own poses.

I  just happened to be in a  fairy mood already and used the rezzed items there and here is a collection of my pictures.

On landing follow the sparkle path to the teleport

Winter Moon

There are many adjectives to describe Winter Moon but I am going for uniquely quirky.

On landing you make your way around the sim perimetre along various pathways. There are many daybeds for cuddles and photo spots along the route. It is a dark and brooding windlight with the occasional flash of lightening and I say "quirky" because where else do you see a chandelier hanging in the trees?

There are all important dance areas too.

The path makes its way from formal stone, to woodland walks and through the tree canopy before meandering down to the beach.







Here you can find more cuddle spots or just sit alone while you listen to the wildlife or fitting music stream.

Sit around the camp fire before making your way back through the wooded walkway and back into the woodland.

We discovered Winter Moon a few months ago and saved it to our list of places to revisit and I can honestly say I was not disappointed going back today.

Mysterious Wave

Mysterious wave is an  art installation taking you back to your childhood.

Here we are transported back to a simple time of carousels, windmills, bubbles  and the simplicity of play.

Hopscotch and climbing trees. Those innocent and fun long days of summer.

Bubbles and dreams.  This places gives you the chance to reflect and remember what it was like to be a child before technology took over.

Jumping in puddles and dirty knees.

Chalking hopscotch on the pavement and paddling pools in the garden.

I enjoyed this art installation very much. It made me think a lot about my own children and wonder if they are missing these simple things which create your memories of childhood but all in all I don't think so. We have kites and paddling pools and mad long walks with picnics in the woods but it did make me think, maybe we don't do it enough. Such a short moment in life when we have the pleasures of these simple things and it is up to me to build their memories.

Area 54

It has taken me a week to write this post because I just don't know what to say about Area 54 to do it justice.  Ki and I spent the whole afternoon there teleporting around each area just dancing non stop.  But what is Area 54?

Well I am told it is a multi media immersive club, the future of clubs in Second Life and in the words of my better half "This is my kind of club"

The music pumping was trance, although being a "pop princess" (apparently), I could not tell you if this was techno, house, electronic... but what I can tell you is, it fits perfectly and I loved it!

This is art meets music meets clubbing meets an amazing experience.  

Follow the teleports to the many art installations and dance your way through each environment.

Turn your sound up and let yourself experience this explosion of music and media.  

I believe standing in these pods will give you a film of all the areas to visit but I didn't stop to see. I think Ki was more likely taking a breather after trying to keep up with me. (I am going to pay for that comment)

I just loved this DJ booth although I am not sure the music I normally play is right for this club....

.... but my dancer was rather sexy

There is even an events stage... well I had to try that out.

This place does come with a warning.

If you are adversely affected by flashing lights and patterns, this place could be dangerous for you.

Sadly there were no DJ's on while we were there but I have joined their facebook page here! so fingers crossed we will get back there when there is an event on.

Ascension

Ascension is an LEA art project sim. Read more about LEA here: Linden Endowment for the Arts

On arrival you can chose from 4 directions; Beach Club, Sphinx Club, Ultra Club and the Ascension Tower, which is where we started.  The tower is on 7 floors and starting from the bottom on each level you are encouraged to touch, play and interact with objects creating sound and colour.

It is a really good immersive and futuristic environment with a strong sound and musical influence. The colours are bold and the particle effects dramatic. 

You need your volume up high when making music.

I was really taken with this creation.  To me it was a fut

uristic space fountain.

Very cool.

There are three small clubs here too, surrounded by stylised planting and crystals. In the centre is the sphinx with all seeing eyes, watching you as you explore.

I enjoyed this build.  If you are into immersive art and want to interact for a little while, this is a good one to explore.
