Together with Femke Wolting, who is a director at Submarine, I was invited to curate and host a session on Virtual Worlds, for the HotSpot network of mediaprofessionals working at or with Public Broadcasting in The Netherlands. We invited three very interesting speakers: Tim Guest, the author of Second Lives; Chris Carella, who works as a creative director at Electric Sheep Company, and director Douglas Gayeton who made a machinima-documentary in and about Second Life. Two local guests completed the line-up: Frank Husman from Lost in the Magic Forest and Danielle Jansen from Amazingg. Frank wrote a report on his blog (in Dutch). Chris also put up his slides. The show was organized as part of the Shortride-festival in the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam.
