SECOND LIFE ALS GESTALTUNGSMITTEL FÜR ZEICHEN

Projekt 1:
HELP ME / LANDZEICHEN

Projekt 2:
GREETINGS / SCHRIFTZEICHEN
Ausgangspunkt war die Idee von begehbarer Schrift und die Möglichkeit Schrift anders zu erleben. Im… Continue

Allerdings noch nicht in Second Life.


Mit unserem Projekt wollen wir den Bewohner von Second Life die Möglichkeit geben, selber mit einem ausgefeilten und verspielten… Continue
