That's me floating at the base of CHAOS, KOSMOS, a vast and sprawling new art installation now being featured in the LEA sim -- that is, the Linden Endowment of the Arts island, a partnership between Linden Lab and Second Life artists. Created by Giovanna Cerise, CHAOS, KOSMOS is an incredibly challenging 3D sculpture to see in its full glory, so I was curious how it would look running SL Go on my old Dell laptop.
I took this pic and the one below with the draw distance up to 500 meters, dynamic shadows enabled, and when you're able to see that far, and you're floating alongside it up high, Cerise's installation looks like this:
I'm dead center in this screenshot if you can't see. Says the artist of this work:
The Chaos, in the primitive sense of the Greek term, is the immensity not measurable and unlimited of the primitive space ( and so the blend and the disorder and the fortuity) in which the kosmos originates, that is the beautiful, good and rational order of the world, which always comes from a messy background. The Chaos is not definitely passed by the construction of an intelligible world and of the shapes, but it still continues to be as the foundation on which also the Kosmos stand.
You can see both Chaos and Kosmos when you're seeing it from that far -- preferably with your viewer set to Sunset or Midnight, as the artist suggests.
If you're visiting the LEA sim through SL Go or a third party viewer, copy and paste this link into the viewer's address bar to start exploring:

Where should I next go with SL Go?
