This weekend sees the launch of virtual reality’s protest rock opera grown in Second Life from new forms of international artistic collaboration.



RINGS VENUE, NMC Labs DIABOLUS (158, 108, 663)

The Rings is a work created in Second Life by a multinational team within the Cybernetic Art Research Project (C.A.R.P). It has been developed through months of collaboration. The creative team is drawn from Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Italy, France and the UK.

The Rings is a work created in Second Life by a multinational team within the Cybernetic Art Research Project (C.A.R.P). It has been developed through months of collaboration. The creative team is drawn from Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Italy, France and the UK.

400 years ago artists came together in Italy to create the first performance of new work that brought together music, drama, dance and the visual arts – a form that became known as opera.

In the 21st century virtual reality is home to new forms of artistic collaboration in which national and art form boundaries disappear. New forms, as yet unnamed, emerge. And new forms of social connection reach across the globe, addressing the pressing challenges of human survival and the way we become divided from each other.

It takes the form of a rock opera with composed lyrics and music, building and scripting, costumes, shape changing, flight, dance and drama underpinned by new use of in world cinematic techniques.

The Rings celebrates the miracle of the Metaverse, the dematerialized virtual time-space. It asks - is this where humanity can at last unite: to overcome the forces that push us towards global destruction and blames victims for the pain they feel. It reminds us that we can be guided towards optimistic action by great humanists and philosophers.

It ends on a note of optimism. We are invited to unite and change the world. After performances on Thursdays there will be Rings discussion circles, involving campaign organisations active in Second Life.

Velazquez Bonetto, CARP co-founder and virtual reality artist said: "It is our responsibility as artists to call the public attention to questions where further thinking and searching for solutions is needed. The message of this artwork comes on several channels and addresses both the emotional and the rational side of the viewer. The Rings may have many different interpretations. There is nothing more boring than explanations at how it should be understood and nothing more exciting and thrilling than a simple and clear artistic language that can talk in a second of visual delight about human questions of huge magnitude."

Junivers Stockholm, composer and director, said: "For a long time I have believed in the potential of the Metaverse to connect people in new and powerful ways: to take humanity to a future of cooperation instead of competition. Music has the power to draw people in to work on the answers to the major questions of our time."

Josina Burgess, CARP co-founder, lyricist and vocalist said: “We should never underestimate the power of song to wake people up and to mobilise people to change the world. From the beginning of time it has brought people together in unity and strength."

Medora Chevalier, lyricist and performer, is a campaigner against homelessness. She added: "Many of the evils of our world can be tackled if we open up our sense of connection to other people and to nature in its beauty. Then we can stop the exploitation of people and living things that so threatens our world and future generations"

After this it will be performed twice weekly.
Audiences are advised to arrive at least 20 minutes early as the open rehearsals that have been held have attracted full sims.
