Strangely Perfect

I paid money for this slide show software, and it found it strangely interesting. It turned into a medium to express experiences on a 3D chat site.

RLC (Red Light Centre) is supposed to be a 'porn' site. But I have found more intelligent, interesting, and creative characters and people here than I ever did on the commercially oriented "Second Life" CPU-guzzling version of a 3D version of a web replicate. Which is what Second Life is. Just an up market version of the Web.

I do have 'video' screen capture software, but still looking for something easier to use than windows Movie maker, to put some interesting material together. And don't tell me that these thrown together screen shot stills (shown below) don't reflect the fascination of the avatars and identity players of RLC. In fact, the stills don't do justice to the 3D engine that seems to synchronise dance steps to the music playing (more of that later).

In any case this is a kind of 'cyberpoem' -perhaps not really? Really, it was only a test run of a software slide show package (that I actually paid for !?!), and I thought I would learn how to use it while I was waiting for a two hour download to complete.

I was inspired by the poetry the characters and avatars I met on RLC. The construction of this piece is entirely synthetic, but the characters and identities are real. And only two of them are mine. And only one of them is female.

Enjoy

Many thanx to Quali, Kently and Thai for helping me test out my new slide show software. Also of course, Tom Waits, and Bette Midler. And the bartender. :-)
