Celebrated avatar-based political caricaturist Christophe Hugo offers this timely Tableau, recreating a scene that seems (for the moment at least) destined to happen only in Second Life, and includes these notes:
What the image says to me: "It screams that November 2008 is upon us."
What inspired me to make it: "I find myself missing my Hillary avatar a lot when I am not online... I just had to take a photo of her to keep in my RL wallet."
Monsieur Hugo has built this virtual White House In preparation for the coming US Presidential election-- direct SLURL teleport at this link. "This willl teleport you directly to the Oval Office," he adds.
Details for submitting your own Tableau-- as topical as this one, or as fantastic as the metaverse allows-- after the break.
Submitting to New World Tableau:
New World Tableau is an ongoing album featuring Residents who've turned SL screenshots into a new art form, vividly conveying emotions, stories, and entire cultures in a single image.
- If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place
here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail ([email protected]) me the link.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the
Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.)
-
Moderately Photoshopped
images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were
added. (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special
element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
-
If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run
it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC
licensed. The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any
case.
