True Stories presents: Jorien van Nes and Femke Wolting’s fascinating insight into online virtual worlds. Second Life, World of Warcraft, Metaplace, U World – all virtual worlds where the user can create their own paradise, far removed from real life. People can create societies that range from the democratic to the dictatorial, have avatars that resemble their ideal and can engage in actions that their real life personality would never dream of doing, from cyber-sex to virtual crime. But who creates these worlds and are they the right people to be crafting idealised societies that pretend to address and solve the inadequacies of the real world?
The Internet TV premiere was: june 2009, Metaworld2
.
The Netherlands TV premiere was: Thursday 30 july 2009, Nederland 2
Voor miljoenen mensen is het virtuele universum een plek die steeds meer vervlochten raakt met hun echte leven. De plek waar makers en spelers hun eigen paradijs kunnen creëren, ver verwijderd van de echte wereld; geheel naar eigen inzicht, variërend van democratie tot dictatuur. Hier leiden de virtuele inwoners een leven waarvan zij vroeger niet durfden te dromen; van warlord tot succesvol cybersex ondernemer.
Maar wie zijn de bedenkers van deze werelden en welke ideeën en ideologieën liggen eraan ten grondslag? Hoe gaat het bouwen van een virtueel utopia in zijn werk? Wat zijn de economische en politieke regels in de virtuele wereld? Is er persvrijheid? Hoe wordt er handel gedreven? Moeten de virtuele inwoners zich aan wetten houden, of zijn zij daar eindelijk helemaal vrij in? Zijn het echt ideale werelden zonder aardse beperkingen?
In deze documentaire gaan Femke Wolting en Jorien van Nes op zoek naar antwoorden op deze vragen.
Zij spreken de oprichters van de grootste virtuele werelden, waaronder Philip Rosedale van Second Life, Jae-Kyung Song van Lineage, Hilmar Veigar Petursson van EVE Online en Raph Koster van Metaplace over de ideeën achter hun werelden.

Somehow historic: On november 7th 2008 a SL machinima movie premiered on national television in The Netherlands, after succes on the web.
MOLOTOV ALVA AND HIS SEARCH FOR THE CREATOR:
A Second Life Odyssey
In this movie director Douglas Gayeton explores the online life of Molotov Alva, a Californian man who disapeared without a trace from ‘real life’. Suddenly he appears in Second Life with a series of 10 video dispatches.
In this Second Life adventure Molotov Alva encounters everything from Furries, to Cyberpunks to Neo-Luddites to Gorean Sex Slaves, to the King of the Hobos: Orhalla Zander, who becomes Molotovs guide as he searches for the creator of their brave new world.
.
This movie has been the best viewed video on Youtube for a while and it is also the very first SL machinima in history acquired by a major American television broadcast network: HBO

Meta.Live.Nu was selected by the Burning Life organisation to get land access in order to be present at Burning Life 2008. On show is the experimental ‘information-art’ installation by Ze Moo:
“Grid Gypsy Camp: Brazil”
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Burning%20Life%20(Tigris)/222/222/22
This cross-reality, information-art installation is our reply to this years Burning Man / Burning Life theme “The American Dream”. It is partly inspired by the Burning Man festival, partly inspired by the Terry Gilliam movie ‘Brazil’ (1984), and partly inspired by the article “Avatars consume as much electricity as Brazilians” by Nicholas Carr. Other inspirations into this interactive mixed media art piece come from various real global social, political and enviromental issues.
Next to this, Meta.Live.Nu at BL 2008 will also present some sculptures by invited artist Herman Bergson.
