As I was going through the unit guide, the fifth theme – New Media Art in Second Life, grabbed my attention. What is second life? Is it another life after death, either in heaven or hell? Or is it a life that escaped near death?

Second Life is a website of a 3D- World, which is of course virtual , built and owned by its residents. It was first published to the public in 2003. Information about Second Life can be found here

More or similar new media website in offer is Rhizome, an online platform created for new media artists around the globe. These will be the theme I would be researching for my portfolio. After discussing with Paula, I can then decide and confirm which either of these two I shall be doing.
