In the ever-evolving realm of virtual worlds, art installations have found a new canvas for expression. Sheldon Bergman, known in the digital space as SheldonBR, has crafted a unique experience in the virtual world of Second Life, harnessing its extensive creative tools. His latest installation, “Alone,” is an homage to the gothic literary giant Edgar Allan Poe.
As visitors arrive at the landing point of “Alone,” they are greeted with an invitation to immerse themselves fully in Sheldon’s vision. To do so, they must accept the experience, allowing them to interact with the installation in a way that is both seamless and intuitive. Furthermore, they are encouraged to modify their graphics settings to utilize the advanced lighting model, ensuring the visual elements are as impactful as Sheldon intended.
The experience is not just a visual journey but a literary one as well. Sheldon has woven Poe’s haunting verses and themes throughout the installation. A specially created HUD accompanies visitors, guiding them through the virtual space and enriching their exploration with quotes and references to Poe’s masterful works. It’s an interactive narrative that invites reflection on the dark romanticism that Poe’s literature encapsulates.
“Alone” is dedicated by Sheldon Bergman to Angelika Corral. For several years, Sheldon and Angelika have been a dynamic duo in the virtual art world, previously spearheading the renowned DaphneArts gallery project. Through numerous installations, they have pushed the boundaries of digital art, and “Alone” is no exception. This installation is not just a new addition to Sheldon’s portfolio but a tribute to the creative synergy he shares with Angelika.
Visitors to “Alone” will find themselves wandering through a meticulously crafted landscape that is both eerie and beautiful. It is an artistic experience that transcends the conventional, inviting contemplation on the profound solitude and introspective themes present in Poe’s poetry and prose. Sheldon Bergman’s “Alone” stands as a profound digital homage to the rich, melancholic world of Edgar Allan Poe, and a celebration of an artistic partnership that continues to innovate and inspire within the boundless possibilities of Second Life.
Allow me to usher you into the world of “Ally” with a beautifully curated video that encapsulates the beauty of this exquisite gown. Set against the backdrop of the mesmerizing Lutz City of Templemore, inside a magnificent theatre, this locale harmoniously reflects the dress’s enchanting romance. While viewing the video, you’ll feel as though you’ve been whisked away to an environment where sophistication is articulated through each detail—the grandeur of a piano, the flourish of floral arrangements, and an ambiance imbued with a romantic flair that echoes the very spirit of “Ally”.
Embracing the spirit of empowerment, “Rise Above” is the original song crafted to accompany the unveiling of the Ally dress. Its epic pop style resonates with the grandeur and elegance of the garment, capturing the essence of transcending boundaries. The track begins with a soft, inviting piano melody that builds into a crescendo of powerful beats and soaring vocals, mirroring the transformative journey of self-belief and courage. As the anthem for the Ally dress, “Rise Above” is not just a song; it’s an experience that encourages listeners to embrace their inner strength and step into the spotlight with confidence.
[Verse] I spread my wings, ready to take flight Gonna soar through the darkest night With every beat, my heart ignites I’ll rise above, I’ll reach new heights
[Verse 2] I hear the symphony, it calls my name A melody that sets my soul aflame I’ll sing it loud, I’ll claim my fame In every note, I’ll leave my mark, my name
[Chorus] I am the fire, I am the light I’ll conquer all, I’ll take my fight With passion burning, with strength deep inside I’ll rise above, this is my time to shine
