Natthimmel

Today we have opened Natthimmel again. This time the sim is called Isbjørn Forskningsstasjon and is inspired by The Polar Silk Road photo exhibition available at The Natural History Museum in London. The author is Gregor Sailer and he tells a story about economic exploitation of the Arctic region and the territorial claims of the respective neighbouring  states. Both that and the mood and landscapes presented on these photographies immediately inspired me to recreate something like this in Secondlife. What we have done is a mix of what I experienced and imagined about how it could look like and a made up story about our not so distant future and how it could end up for humans. Please read it below but also visit the site of Gregor Sailer The-Polar-Silk-Road, check his photos, or read more about this important subject in the interview with him conducted by Natural History Museum Meet Gregor Sailer, the man photographing The Polar Silk Road 

Please visit the page with the story behind the sim and the diary of the main character hiding behind all that.
