Week 5 Update:
Most of the time people receive information through either text or verbal communication in SecondLife. This way of conveying information mainly through word of mouth is very random in selecting audience and is scatter. Only if speaker or listener is actively spreading/ receiving, information can be known by most people. However, this kind of information consists of speakers’ subjective thoughts. It can easily influence others if they only have small social circle.

Week 4 Update:
I'm not really spending time on SecondLife, but I feel like people don't adjust avatars' body parts exaggeratedly. They just change their clothes or hair or anything else that unlike a normal human. I think SecondLife is somewhat a parallel world, the avatars can represent us but also just avatars. I don't fit in this world because I feel pressure when I need to communicate with strangers, but SecondLife seems focusing on communication.

Sculpture Center:
I still have no idea what the exhibition is trying to convey. I just raised the panels and looked around to see if they could give me some thoughts. 


I took a picture of a man taking photos through a transparent book. People will leave some memories in the process from birth to death. But as time passes, people and things will eventually be forgotten. People who see these photos in the future are like reading history books, knowing nothing about their moods and what happened at the time.
In addition, this photo also reminds me of "A picture is worth a thousand words," isn't it like a book?



This graphic is called the Golden Ratio. Although it didn’t seem exactly fit the robot, but some places are indeed similar. Its right hand is about in the middle rectangle. If connecting its right hand, its head, the guitar, the bend left leg and straight right leg, they approximately follow the curve line. Some people say that the golden ratio is just a coincidence, but some people say that it does exist.

Week 3 Update:
When I first saw the title” SecondLife,” I was thinking that it might be a game that can let people experience different life style or any other games I had played before, but I’m wrong.I saw some comments that everyone can do whatever they want in this game, so they made their appearance very strange, they danced unlike a human, and they said something I didn’t understand (it must because of my poor English). Even though the rules of the world we live in restrict us in many ways and force us to follow what we think is unreasonable, I believe these rules are products after negotiation. However, because anyone doesn’t like this game can just quit, it can remain player who agrees with the rules of it. As a result, it becomes a utopia for some people, but I always evade it until I have to write a blog.

Week 2 Update:
I was trying to find any place which is interesting me this week, but I just found a few buildings with nobody and nothing inside and some areas prevented me from entering. Sometimes people turned on their microphones to make noise but didn't talk to anyone. So far I feel this game is a bit scary for me. Next time I will visit other places, but I still think I have no courage to talk to others.

Week 1 Update:
I still not quite know how this game will be, but after I played for a while, I really found something interesting. At first, although there are many avatars, but they look like they are sad, angry, and hate the world. When I went to orientation island, I was taught that I could change everything in the body!! The height, the thickness, the face.....appearance! Also, when I click the home icon and went to the special place, the chairs there were made by someone else instead of being there from the beginning. I feel I can understand a little bit why this game called second life. It's very different from any other game I've played before.
