Merit Coba

A movie about my installation at sl11b. That is the eleventh birthday of second life.

‘The box’ is a fluke that I got after a friend (Veleda Lorakeet) made the black frame that forms the backbone of the exhibit. I thought the box with boxes insides looked a bit like self contained existence with smaller existences inside it and I somehow recalled the thought experiment of Schroedinger’s cat. In essence this experiment boils down to this: nothing happens to the cat until you take a look.. Hence just by looking at something you influence it.
Now you too can influence something and take a look inside the box by pressing on the prim with the EE symbol on it and, like an all powerful being, create existences -or not- for the mice. All imaginary of course. Just like SL.
Be in awe of the cat.
Have fun.
