Through Owl’s Eye documents Second Life as a lived cultural space, art, music, regions, and the communities that sustain them.
Second Life is a genuine cultural space. It is not a game, not a novelty, but a living world. Artists create, musicians perform, and communities grow up around shared places and shared rituals.
Through Owl’s Eye documents that culture from the inside.The exhibitions, the live performances, the regions built with extraordinary care, and the quiet human connections that hold it all together.
Come wander with me. There’s always something worth seeing.

About Owl
‘ve been wandering Second Life since 2007, and what keeps me here isn’t the technology — it’s the culture.
Real artists. Real musicians. Real communities built over years around shared spaces and shared values. I’ve lived inside that culture, supported it, and documented it — and Through Owl’s Eye is where I share what I’ve seen.
A Living World
Second Life is built and sustained by the people who stay.
Art appears, moves you, and disappears. Music happens live and then lives only in memory. Communities form around recurring events, familiar paths, and the quiet comfort of knowing where you are — and who you might find there.
That ongoing, human-made culture is what this site follows. It’s not virtual in the sense of pretend. It’s virtual in the sense of alive in a different way.
A Note From Me
If you ever see me wandering the roads of Corsica, at a gallery opening, or waiting for the next musician to rez in, please say hello.
Second Life becomes a cultural space because people choose to make it one. Through creativity, generosity, and showing up for each other. You’re part of that, whether you’ve been here eighteen years or eighteen minutes.
You’re welcome to wander.
