Wonderland have posted some very interesting news indeed. As far as I’m aware, this is the first virtual music festival I’ve come across. Regardless, it’s certainly the first virtual festival the BBC have arranged. I can’t seem to find any information on the BBC site, however.
I’ve been meaning to have a look at Second Life for a while now. It’s a fascinating concept and is far more popular than I ever imagined it would become. I might register over the weekend and give this a go. It’s an incredibly intriguing idea, and I can’t help but think that this is something we’ll see more of in the future. I know there have been virtual book signing and other social events hosted within Second Life, but when someone like the BBC starts to host events in there you have to take notice. They’ve even created virtual digital radios for players to take away with them, which can be used to listen to Radio One from within the game.
This whole thing reminds me a little of Tad William’s Otherland books…
Have you tried Second Life? I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the virtual world and this event.
