Versu Richelieu is a builder of worlds. She's like the Architect from the Matrix. For 72 hours, she lived in the store window of Datavision at 5th Ave. and E 39th St. (New York, NY 10018). And for 72 hours, she built a virtual world around her.

Oh tell me why... Do we build castles in the sky... Oh tell me why... All the castles way up high.

She built a Second Life virtual version of her little store window. Then she built the building and the streets around. And acre by acre, she built the city around her.

Oh tell me why... Do we build castles in the sky... Oh tell me why... All the castles way up high.

 


Watch the end of the third day (that would be the end of the second video). We were impressed.

It was part of a marketing activity for the Intel Centrino Duo laptop with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor (that explains why her room is wallpaper with Intel signs and why the laptop she used was a Intel Centrino Duo laptop with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor). Did we just repeat ourselves there? Deja vu. Must be glitch in the Matrix.

We're hoping the next project will be 7 days long. We'd like to see her create the world in 7 days (she can rest on the last day).
