Lorin Tone: "I Have No Words" at HIE

 Virtual worlds have a limited impact on our senses - no smells or tastes in the metaverse at present ... but while sight is the dominant sense we use here, sound is the magnifier of sensations and it deepens the immersive experience exponentially. But like visual effects, sound effects only really enhance the virtual experience when they are done right.

One of the highlights of the Park is Lorin Tone's build for HIE - it is so elegant and appropriate, the title is  "I have no words". It's a sort of interactive sound sculpture and fits the mood of our multi-language event perfectly.  

It is located on craft-world.org:8002:HIE 2 at the Expo in the HIE auditorium park, which will be staying up until December 15, so if you didn't get a chance to visit the whole thing yet, jump over and check it out.

 The Hypergrid International Expo is lucky to have a huge number of talented people involved with the various aspects of the event !

We have some excellent speakers, some world class virtual performers, some well beloved grids and on top of all that, some great art. If you read this blog regularly, you will know that in the park that surrounds the auditorium there are Publicity booths or kiosks that celebrate the creativity and community of opensim.
