Poppy's Arrival - Coming Soon!

For a very long time, Poppy Fields has been in SL (and still is sometimes, she has a club there) but she has always explored various worlds. Then, she says... one day she found herself here in Opensim... 

Poppy Fields: ... and I kind of hung my hat here. I am creative both here and in SL. But somehow my creative side is encouraged more here.

We met on Poppy's sim Mistburry on Osgrid, where preparations for the latest project are well under way. Called 'Arrival'. Coming in August, it's a multimedia experience that will be performed inside the theater, called simply 'The Box'. 

Poppy Fields: A special shout out to my partner Rachael Cooper for being so patient with me working on this  ...so many evenings standing here watching me work ! This upcoming show is a story told in pictures combined with stage sets, music and lights. It's not quite a club and not quite a gallery. We're telling the classic story of finding love, losing it, and re-united. exploring the relationship between humans and machines

Thirza Ember: and 'arrival' - what does that refer to?

Poppy Fields: the arrival of artificial sentience - I mean an AI that is more advanced that it is at present,. AI with empathy.

Poppy Shoppe

Poppy Fields has only been in OSGrid for about four months. We met on her region, Mistburry, where there's a charming, toast colored deck, with a sparkling pool and Zee Lounge, a sleek nightclub. 

The rest of the region is dedicated to long, palm-fringed beaches, and modern buildings, including her interesting project, the Opensim Shopping Expo, or  OS Expo, a hub for shops all over the hyperverse.

The Expo, with its posters, samples, and Landmarks, is designed to take some of the sting out of shopping for assets in opensim, which has to be the biggest bugbear for most people.

Poppy Fields: But I was here many many years ago. have been in SL from the start. 19 years . Before hypergrid I travelled many grids. called myself a gridnaut lol. I am creative in many aspects and it seemed a natural choice to be in a place that has less restrictions on creativeness. I knew about other grids but not much about how it all functioned. seemed stable here maybe not technically stable. more... socially stable, more community... with so many of the small grids, it's kind of 'little empires'
