Death is the other side of the coin of life. Artist often use humor to pay homage to love ones who passed by creating paper cut outs (papel picado) to help relatives and friends deal with the pain of loss. The use of negative and positive space to create an illusion also reinforces the notion that our views and life and death are two also negative and positive space that work together to create the illusion of self. We propose to create an interactive exhibit for members of the Virtual Tech to engage SL users individually and collaboratively to create works based on the Mexican tradition of Papel Picado: The Art of Mexican Cut Paper. The idea is to allow users to cut individual pieces of "virtual tissue paper", to unfold the paper and string their individual cuts together collaboratively to create beautiful and meaningful banners for Second Life Celebrations.

Content

What is the exhibit about? What assets (sounds, images, label text, etc.) need to be developed or assembled to form the content of the exhibit?

Design

What's the look and feel of the exhibit? How does the design convey the way you want visitors to feel, and how does it support the intended interaction?

Concept Discussion

This is a place to hash out exactly what your exhibit is. At the end, you should create a one-sentence "big idea" that captures the essence of the exhibit, and post it on the main page of the project (as well as in the Big Idea page of the wiki).

Interaction

How do people use the exhibit? What do they do, from start to finish?

Prototypes

This page documents the creation of exhibit prototypes, both on the web and online. To create a prototype in Second Life, contact Nina Simon/Avi Marquez to get set up with an exhibit workshop space in Parkside Hall.
