    Statement:
    This session is composed by sound captures done on several sites of
    the 3D virtual Second Life. The initial concept of these recordings
    was to understand possible similarities and/or differences between
    recordings done on physical world and on on-line virtual spaces.

    Second Life offers ways of simulating physical reality through
    environment building tools and in its interface. Unfortunately, most
    of these constructions try to imitate real spaces within a
    commodified culture, even if there is room for experiment and
    subversion. More a social space than a special simulation, these
    virtual re-creations is a stage for communication between its users
    (through avatars).

    The alterity of these virtual spaces comes from the failure in
    recreating physical reality in a consisting form which creates
    sensory deformations and the virtual nature of the communication
    done by its users. Soon after a normal time of adaptation to the
    interface, the users start to feel physical simulation the sense of
    being there. However, this reality is marked by visual incongruence,
    download time, software noise and hardware interferences, which mold
    the presence and communication of the users, creating a distorted
    sense of physicality.

    Serving as an example of such sensory deformations, this recording
    is divided in two segments, having space and communication as
    targets. The first part is similar to a field recording in a
    physical environment, during which the sounds are perceived through
    an avatar, including its interactions and ramblings. It also
    includes sounds captured from SL simulations such as a 1st world war
    battlefield or interactive artist installations.

    The second part of this recording expands that perception by
    including some sound captures of users interactions, mainly through
    voice. This segment relies more on compositions done through sound
    editing, a fragmental recording that re-creates the mixed identities
    expressed on these virtual spaces.

again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw 
field recordings, field recording based composition, or introduction 
submissions. we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of 
our  guest curated /*framework:afield*/ series. send proposals or 
material, released or not, on any format, to the address below. if you 
have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
