Berlin Wall

It was 20 years ago today that the Berlin Wall fell. One of the starkest symbols of Communism, it cut an ugly scar through Berlin, people cut down by gunfire as they tried to escape through it. After several weeks of protests in the midst of the collapsing of the Iron Curtain in 1989, the Communists gave in on November 9, letting people through.

In the Ceil sim, this Berlin Wall “Die Mauer” exhibit stands at (60, 119, 23), presumably kept up only temporarily. The exhibit was also up last year for the anniversary of it’s fall (Click Here for the 2008 article).

'The Wall V-2 ~ The Director's Hack'

"The Cybernetic Art Research Project's (CARP) production of "The Wall V-2". In 30 shows we performed to 2200 avatars and raised over $L200,000 for charity. And had a blast of a time doing it!"
This weekend saw the release of two full length machinima's of 'The Wall V-2'.... The first is filmed and edited by reknowned SL machinimatographer Gary Hazlitt

This one is filmed and edited by Debbie Trilling
Performed by The Cybernetic Art Research Project at NMC Campus West in Second Life in August 2008

The Wall was one show I enjoyed immensely and found used the platform to its fullest extent - machinima are great but do not show the full impact of what was achieved - but if you missed it then its great to be able to show it in part.
