![]() ![]() It then contuse for another 45+ minutes after the meeting. This video is from the last few minutes of Content Creation UG meeting of June 27, 2017. (60+ minutes) There are time marks for the various topics in the index below (last page) if you want to find just the juicy parts. Still, the resident thief really annoyed me. It was a surprisingly calm and somewhat intelligent conversation. ![]() The issue of content theft, copyboting, is one of them.Īt the last Content Creation UG meeting the subject of content theft, what the Lab does about it, and what CAN be done about it came up. There are hot issues in SL that carry loads of emotional energy. Second life copybot 2016 download#A person can use them to download ANYTHING… ANYTHING in Second Life. We might want to add in a little wiggle room, a little aberration.īecause there can be more things on heaven and earth - once we dream them in our philosophies.In case there is ANYONE in Second Life™ that doesn’t know what Copybot Viewers are, they are viewers made from the open source viewers, Linden and third-party, that have been altered to ignore Permissions. But when we model our ideas of the real back to ourselves, we might not want to copy too slavishly. Not that we disapprove! Here at HILOBROW we love the copy. We inhabit and maintain multiple online copies - Second Life, avatars, Twitter streams - but what part of “real life” are we copying? And how well? What structures will inform our idea of Mars? Bucky domes, or perhaps the terraces of Marvin Martian? Streamlined biospheres whose sunken dens permit permutations of Perky Pat? Or will the planetary Red-Green-Blue terraforming be our copying standard going forward…?īut back to the present, by which of course I mean our idea of it: any discussion of architecting ideas cannot leave out software. That scale is going to be dwarfed when we finally move out and colonize Mars. The difference is the scale there’s something astonishing at the hubris involved in copying an entire town. The copy of the UNESCO village is not that different from adding neo-Classical columns to the front of your McMansion, or adding neo-Victorian pastel gingerbreading to your bulletin board with a staple gun, as instructed in the how-to on page 346 of Martha Stewart Living. Which is to say, all architecture, at all times. For now.Īnd what about reconstructions, ranging from “real” ones like Colonial Williamsburg to invented ones like Massachusetts’ Old Sturbridge Village? They’re both representations of our idea of history, one placed atop the real, the other placed, “nearby” - but they are both ideas, as is any architecture at a remove from its initial construction. Before you can process the recursive wonder of that, you should know that the deal fell through. Or perhaps The Village at Hiddenbrooke in Northern California (near Vallejo), built as a 3D version of a Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light™ English-style country village scene, or rather a sentimentalized ideal of an English-style country village scene as depicted on a Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light™ poster in the gift shop at the mall.ĭisney (via its subsidiary development company, “Celebration”) had also planned to create a copy of a picturesque northern New England ski town, in Bretton Woods, NH, which is itself… a picturesque northern New England ski town. Witness towns like Florida’s Celebration, where potential inhabitants were wooed by, not a copy of a real place, present or past, but the idea of a perfect postwar small town, as art-directed by Disney. The power of the idea is such that, in order to copy a thing, you don’t even need the original to be a thing in order to copy it. ![]() Even if it is a thing, a material thing, an inhabitable thing, a thing containing gardens in which the reenactor playing Bishop Berkeley could walk with Samuel Johnson, a garden containing rocks which the reenactor playing Samuel Johnson could kick with his material toe - even if it is all this and more, what is copied when a thing is copied is not the thing, it’s the idea. It is making itself over into an exact replica of a European village, but not just any village - it will be a replica of Hallstatt, an Austrian UNESCO site.ĭespite this being a copy of the thing, in bricks and mortar no less, what is copied when a thing is copied is not the thing. Second life copybot 2016 update#Recently it was reported by Der Spiegel that an area in the city of Huizhou, China (about 100 miles north of Hong Kong), perhaps cognizant of its location on suitably angled hillsides, had decided to update its look. ![]()
