17/05/07 -- Finally, we recovered from a MySQL server crash. Unfortunately, we lost all access data from American Apparel Shop since 1st of April 2007. In either case, they won't mind, but we are happy to announce that our avatar performance machine in Rotterdam is up and running once againg. Thanks to binary.k0a1a for great support!

Of All user-generated buzzwor(l)ds2.0, LindenLab's "Second Life" is the most blatantly proprietary and overhyped. And so clumsy and trashy that it needs to be celebrated as retro kitsch today!
We have chosen several Sl-spots, branding them as most compelling examples where real world metaphors are obviously ill-considered; odd translations into virtual world. Why open a glass door, if you have superhero-capabilities? Apparently, American Apparel, Dell and many other enterpreneurs considered their representation inW0rld very well and we have to admit that they succeded in creating an UTOPIAN place. An Unreal Place, where avatars can't do anything, but feel the nothing (read G. Perec to dip in)! By putting all restrictions which SL has to offer, they created nothing else than an abandoned space.
NO SCRIPT / NO BUILD / RESTRICT LLPUSHOBJECT
To prove that, our Agents have been placed on several spots and are currently tracking all approaching avatars, logging their duration of stay, as well as avatar's name and ID. Due to restrictive rules on these spots, placing an ordinary log-object was not possible. Nonetheless, our Agents (Mr. Gamba, Ms. Autopoiesis) sucessfully circumvented these restrictions. They are counting endlessly by sacrificing their body with wearable scripts on-skin.
