Again, thanks to Corwin, I visited a new art installation by AM Radio. The info details about the work include the following notecard:
AM Radio’s The Red and The Wild
IDIA is pleased to host artist AM Radio as the inaugural artist-in-residence at IDIA Labs – an exhibtion and installation sim for virtual installation art and performance.
THE INSTITUTE FOR DIGITAL INTERMEDIA ARTS is a hybrid art and design studio established as part of the Center for Media Design at Ball State University and funded the Lilly Endowment, Inc. The institute is an interdisciplinary research and design environment that explores the intersections between arts and technology.

Second Life offers so much potential for creativity, and I’m always learning and experiencing new examples of that. Thanks Corwin!
