New World Notes readers, you're cordially invited to a special party I'm hosting tomorrow -- Sunday, September 13th at 7pm SLT, a night of machinima, fashion, dancing, to celebrate the re-opening of RMB City, the fantastic virtual metropolis created by Cao Fei (known as China Tracy in SL). RMB is a surreal, virtual re-imagining of modern Beijing, an art installation featured in numerous galleries in New York, London, and elsewhere, and this re-opening will connect it to the in-world community. Scheduled Events:
- World debut of a new machinima by master director Lainy Voom
- Runway fashion show hosted and curated by Iris Ophelia
- DJ MoShang Zhao spins his ambient, Asian-inflected tracks
- Cao Fei and her team will introduce new city content, including a noise experiment by
- Yan Jun, a dynamic UFO by Neville Mars, and a Sex Parlor by Cao Fei. A new building inspired by the Guggenheim Museum wll also be unveiled for the public to enjoy.
All this happens at and around the People's Palace. [Direct SLurl at this link] If the Gala is over capacity, consider exploring other parts of the four sim city while traffic ebbs and flows: [SLurl to NO Lab Art gallery here], [SLurl to People's Monopoly Game here]. NOTE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS: During the Gala, I'll also launch an RMB photography contest, so come prepared to shoot great and dramatic screenshots of the Gala and the surrounding city.
