Today at 10am Second Life Time, at long last, my friend China Tracy/Cao Fei, the acclaimed Chinese artist, is officially opening RMB City, a metaverse rendition of a fantasia Beijing. Her latest Second Life project has gone through many incarnations, from a truck in Miami, to book form, to a Manhattan gallery, and finally, to SL itself. Starting on the 26th, it'll also be featured at London's prestigious Serpentine Gallery, too. Hope to see you at the morning preview-- direct SLURL teleport to RMB City at this link.
