>>>Official blog

We are really glad to inform you that 2Lei is going to take part of the celebrations for Second Life 10th birthday, from Sunday, June 16th until June 29th, featuring events, art installations, music and entertainment (and just a hint of lag), completely built up around the theme of this year: "Looking forward, looking back".

The aim of 2Lei Committee, which have been operating in SL for three years, is to raise awareness and involve more and more people on matters related to violence against women in the world.

With our participation, we would like to show what it's possible to do in SL as far as social issues are concerned, fully adhering to various types of events, as it has been done throughout these years, from art to music, from theatre to fashion (Looking back).

The "2Lei" Committee also wants to emphasize how much more you can do to raise awareness and to disseminate the issue "Stop violence against women" in SL, involving more and more users of our virtual world to join in this global "fight" (Looking forward).

Specifically, the installation will be divided into three main sections:

- the first one will show what has been done in the recent years through various photographs;

- the second one will provide an INFO point;

- the third one will show "In flight over the violence", an art installation by Paola Mills. Visitors will be able to interact with this installation: they can become part of it, using poseballs and outfits available for free, to feel even more part of this project.

We invite you to come and celebrate with us, from 16/06 to 29/06.

2Lei is here (from 1.30 pm SLT)

HAPPY B DAY SL!

The picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as the July 1890 issue of this magazine. The magazine’s editors feared the story was indecent as submitted, so they censored roughly 500 words, without Wilde’s knowledge, before publication. But even with that, the story was still greeted with outrage by British reviewers, some of whom suggested that Wilde should be prosecuted on moral grounds, leading Wilde to defend the novel aggressively in letters to the British press. Wilde later revised the story for book publication, making substantial alterations, deleting controversial passages, adding new chapters and including an aphoristic Preface which has since become famous in its own right. The amended version was published by Ward, Lock and Company in April 1891. Some scholars believe that Wilde would today have wanted us to read the version he originally submitted to Lippincott’s.

The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian’s beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil’s, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry’s world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfilment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than he. Dorian’s wish is fulfilled, and when he subsequently pursues a life of debauchery, the portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered a work of classic Gothic fiction with a strong Faustian theme.
