additional information
I had a girl friend 2008 in Second Life,
Millane, who
enjoyed driving around with me for hours, getting out of the car and taking some
looks, inviting people to join the car.
Here we are three avatars in a "Mondrian Car"
that I designed, on a street in "West Haven" with a huge fantasy Zeppelin
following us.
Evolving the artist taxi idea I remembered: We made already
those "Artist Taxi" drives in the virtual world in harvest 2008. It was just unnecessary
to name the idea. There was no artist´s pathos around. It was an idea of
entertainment, with the aim to create nomadic parties.

virtual taxi drive
my community comment on 30/08/2012 and some reactions:
Chris: I wonder why people still make trickfilms and construct comics. Since five years
now there are those virtual worlds. From architekture to dressing - they make
computer simulations so easy. Just life must return to reality... here we live a
bit and drive a bit around in Second Live.

It is good to be in reality! I would otherwise miss my feeling and hearing, when
i stay in the shadow under this "taxi". When i looked up and see how the door
opened and one swing brings me on board and... :-)))

ah, this is a view inside of second life? the car seems to have an accident. Why
they have the same walls and trees and pedestrian crossings and grey streets
like in "the real world"?

hehe, the car is a Jeep, but with a texture from a Piet Mondrian artwork.
The traces behind the car tell: I drive well.
The idea of this "West Haven" was a reconstruction of some standart region.
Virtual surprises like the Zeppelin have more effect then. This region deals
with a mix of 5 percent fantasy and 95 percent reconstructed reality.
