Abstract

By numbers of interviews with avatars in second life I have gotten to know their thoughts about Architecture and been guided around their dearest places. (But first I had to change my appearance to get accepted – real life looks doesn’t work in Second Life, but real life architecture seems to be alright…)

It’s striking how much everything circles around identity in Second Life. It seems to be very important for the avatars to show their identity through their clothing and buildings (their real life identity or their second life identity). It’s also quite obvious that they try to fill up all their buildings with lots of stuff - often representations of everyday life items (of course useless in SL as anything else than decoration) to fill up the emptiness.

Witch brings me to my task: a Museum/Culture house of Sweden in SL. This task allows me to focus on the identity issue and also let me fill up space with items that becomes more then scenery. I have filled my Swedish exhibition with a short Swedish summer passage – a long dark winter, a celebration room for Zlatan and a lot moor of treats from Sweden. All this in a building trying to question the Ikea showroom (the decorated shed) and the Guggenheim Bilbao…
