Here’s the NYTimes article about companies hosting job interviews in Second Life. Imagine, interviewing from the comfort of your office computer– no more sneaking out for 2 hour lunches.

Sorry I missed class last week I was in LA on business but I did get a chance to go to the Getty, which was amazing.  I saw two shows there that I thought everyone might enjoy in context of this class.

The first is a video piece by Nicole Cohen, which reminds me of the Telematic Dreaming piece we saw in class.  See the link and a few stills I took while there.

The Chase

Here’s my jumpcut video. It wouldn’t let me add music…  

Too bad, that might have help build the suspense.
