Behold, the SL log-in page as art emblem. This is actually two pages from a physical book created by my friend China Tracy, the latest iteration of her RMB City project, conceived as a re-imagining of post-modern Beijing as a fantasia city that can only fully exist in virtual form. It'll eventually be built in Second Life, but what began as a conceptual machinima is now a kind of builder's diary set to printed pages. I contributed a short biographical sketch of Tracy to the project, but had no idea it'd be part of such a lovely package. View more pages of the RMB City book on her blog, featuring imagery from her city, and photos from the roiling tableau of contemporary Chinese living that inspired it. Warning: includes hot panda sex.
