Artist's Biography
Mark
Anthoney
, a
student
in the
University
of
Iowa
School
of
Library
and
Information
Science
and an
Institute
of
Museum
and
Library
Services
Fellow
, has been
doing
research
into the
online
virtual
work
of
Second
Life.
Mark's
IMLS
(
http://slis.uiowa.edu:16080/~imls
)
fellowship
is
designed
to
train
him with the
various
skills
required
to
become
a
librarian
specializing
in
digital
services.
The
building
he has
constructed
in
second
Life
will
host
readings
by
University
of
Iowa
writers
and a
forthcoming
concert
from the
Maia
Quartet.
The
inaugural
event
featured
poet
and
first
year
graduate
student
in The
University
of
Iowa
Writers
'
Workshop
,
Kate
Thorpe
, and was
sponsored
by the
University
of
Iowa
School
of
Library
and
Information
Science
, The
Virtual
Writing
University
Experimental
Wing
, and the

Artist's Statement
Of his
work
in
Second
Life
,
Anthoney
writes
,
Second
Life
, a
free
program
,
is
an
immersive
,
3-dimensional
online
world
.
It
is
similar
to the
popular
video
game
series
The
Sims
.
However
,
unlike
The
Sims
,
Second
Life
is
entirely
open
source
. This
means
that
users
create
the
lay
of the
land
and its
contents
.
Users
also
create
scripts
,
making
the
space
interactive
.
Second
Life
differs
from The
Sims
because
programmers
have
pre-determined
the
possibilities
of the
world
. The
only
limitation
to the
Second
Life
world
comes
from its
users
skills
and
imagination
. As a
result
,
Second
Life
is
very
experimental
.
I
make
sense
of this
online
platform
by
comparing
it
to
navigating
information
in a
web
browser
.
One
typically
scrolls
to
browse
a
webpage
, and
clicks
on
hyperlinks
to
enter
other
webpages
.
Analogously
, in
Second
Life
you
walk
,
run
, or
fly
through
areas
to
browse
a
particular
space
, and
use
teleportation
to
jump
to
other
spaces
,
much
like
hyperlinking
.
Second
Life
is
indicative
of a
potential
future
for
online
environments
.
Faster
computers
and
Internet
bandwidth
in
homes
make
it
possible
for
online
environments
to
closer
resemble
real
life
.
