    • Synopsis
    • Utopia 1.0: Post-Neo-Futurist-Capitalism in 3D! is a first-person expedition to Second Life, the once thriving virtual 3D online world, in search of what remains - ruins that do not decay, speculative real estate, realtors' offices, wide open spaces with 'for sale' signs, Harvard University’s virtual ‘sandbox’, and an art gallery on its last days. Given the invitation to come build anything imaginable, what is it that we chose to create?
