tweet it!

the twitter interface is up and running again, it’s placed at the soup sim Eryri in Second Life. you can contribute again to the pleating of the text by adding sentences from the database appearing on the left panel to the twitter stream on the right.

doors

one of the doors below one of the tables. the doors are a contribution to better integrate the historical roots by using parts of the original text for ‘doors’, which are distributed over the various levels of the installation. the ‘doors’ serve as means of transport, clicking on one of them teleports the visitor to another place – another part of the original text and another part of the new installation – but the these connections are not fixed, they change so that in a way every part is connected with every other part, a folding or pleating of the installation space that mirrors the pleating of the text.

new layer at about 2000 – a clockwork of interconnected sentences – and yes, here i’m using the famous rotating prims!

tables

Selavy Oh — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:03:21 +0000

data tables. one hundred tables. one sentence per table. every 10 minutes, a new sentence is chosen.

ground level

Selavy Oh — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:06:09 +0000

vertical words for the ground level. each column of letters is the first word of one of 200 consecutive sentences read automatically from the generated text.

the labyrinth level

a new version of the letter-labyrinth, we’ll see whether we keep this or change it again, but it looks promising!

twitter vs. StatusNet

pretty cool if we want to use status.net. with a dirty setup and a dirty opensim hack the proof of concetpt works. sending a chat messages out of a prim box with no “twitter OAuth” stress ;-)

a look on authenticating and HOWTO Use the API will be necessary, to kill the Error 413, which does not affect the posted message.

table

…. he asks, `do you say you look at the table, or you look out the table?’

Original Quotes: ….So while the other two are dealing with boredom and claustrophobia by loafing in bed Benigni decides to draw a window on the cell wall. When he’s finished he turns to them. `In English,’ he asks, `do you say you look at the window, or you look out the window?’… (Down by Law, Film 1986)

RL setup

Any additions, changes, suggestions are sought for, of course. I am holding on to the photoshop file, as well as the little modeling thingy that I made in SL. So, I can change things around in a tick, per your input.

block diagram of lpdt2

this is an updated version of the diagrams outlined in the planning phase. although i know that some elements of the flow of text in lpdt2 are missing, i thought it might be helpful to have it posted here. the interaction with the physical gallery space via screen and SMS is not mentioned here, and the avatars connected to pandora bots are also not in the picture. please let me know what else is missing!
