disorderly physics of light and dark and sonic feedback disorderly physics of light and dark when the skysphere is even 1% transparent + rotation, interior objects disappear under ordinary restricted viewing conditions. in the same situation, with unrestricted viewing, glows appear - which move, but without objects. when the skysphere is set to zero transparency + rotation, interior objects appear, even with restricted viewing conditions. in the same situation, with unrestricted viewing, glows and objects appear. http://www.alansondheim.org/ trans jpgs why do these things happen? they happen because of anomalies generated by hacked objects that are coalescing when they're not supposed to - they're jumbled, the commands are jumbled, the coordinates are jumbled, what's there and what's not there is jumbled. I've seen objects disappear, not over the edge, not out of world, and not returning to lost-and-found. I've seen objects battered about or jumbled into one object or suddenly falling to a ground that's not there or doesn't seem to be there. all this physics going nowhere. sonic feedback between two performers (Alan Sondheim and Sandy Baldwin) http://www.alansondheim.org/grapple.mp4 - I find this fascinating since the effects increase as the avatars approach each other - as if they're entering danger/mating/territorial zones. -
