Pink Floyd's *** THE WALL v-2 ***

The Cybernetic Art Research Project proudly presents...

*** THE WALL V-2 ***

EVERY FRIDAY & SUNDAY AT 2PM SLT

On July 21 1990, nine months after the dismantlement of the Berlin Wall, Roger Waters and an all-star cast performed "The Wall" at the Potzdamer Platz in Berlin. The performance was watched by a live audience of 250,000 and an estimated half-billion people on television…


And now, an international team of artists working with the Cybernetic Art Research Project (CARP) bring a unique vision and live performance of "The Wall" to Second Life ™...

The original CARP version of "The Wall" was performed in SL fourteen times to 1260 attendees. Each performance filling sims and to rave reviews.

NMC Campus are delighted to bring you "THE WALL V-2"! The CARP Team have especially updated and re-scripted near every element of the show for NMC, as well as adding entirely new effects and surprises.

"The Wall V-2" is now even bigger, more colourful and more visually stunning than ever before!

Interest is high, so please arrive early! Arriving early will also allow the Texture Pre-Loaders to send all the data to your cache before the show starts. Shows will start promptly at 2PM SLT.

This is a live artistic performance by a team of experienced RL Artists and SL Content Creators, using the very best and sophisticated of SL's technology to bring you a unique interpretation and vision of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'.
