Spiralo

“Spiralo” is a virtual cultural complex produced by the noise-classical music project 'Tia Rungray'. The space includes a sound installation hall, a gallery, a café, and a shopping floor. The name "Spiralo" means "spiral" in Esperanto, and the name comes from the fact that the floors are arranged in a spiral pattern, inspired by the image of everyday life and art blending together in virtual life. The idea is to make it easier to enjoy high-quality art activities in Second Life and to make visitors more aware of their close relationship to life. It functions to make everyday activities such as watching, listening, dressing, talking and photography more artistic. It offers you a way to enjoy the time and space in which you can relax in everyday life. As a cultural hub for contemporary art in Second Life, “Spiralo” hopes to continue to create a cultural scene.

Nitroglobus Roof Gallery

Nitroglobus Gallery is a Second Life art gallery that shows impressive exhibitions and installations of both emerging and well-known artists and is owned and curated by Dido Haas. The current exhibit is SIMULACRUM by Manoji Yachvili (aka Onceagain). The simulacrum, borrowed from the Latin simulacrum, was born as an effigy, as a statue that depicts divinities, heroes, illustrious figures (but nothing is more illustrious) and the extension of meaning makes the simulacrum a shadow, a ghost, a reflection, which in essence is not or is no longer that someone or something it represents – imperfect simulation.
