Another year has passed, and so once again I decided to click my heels and make what is now an annual pilgrimage to Bambi’s (NorahBrent) Missing Melody. I did so because a little birdie informed me that she’d teamed up with Ethan Takeda to produce an interesting sky platform called Mirai Melody.

Alone: an immersive literary experience in Second Life –

Alone: an immersive literary experience in Second Life – | Second Life Destinations | Scoop.it

Often working in collaboration with Angelika Corral – with whom he once co-ran the always engaging DaphneArts gallery and arts centre – Sheldon earned a rightful reputation for developing immersive art installations leveraging the (then new) capabilities of SL Experiences. In particular, these installations sought to bring the work of poets and artists from the physical world to life within the virtual, with a noted focus on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe (as covered in these pages, for example, by A dream within a dream: celebrating Poe in Second Life (2017) and Annabel Lee in Second Life (2019)).

With Alone, Sheldon continues within this theme, presenting installation with a personal dedication to Angelika, featuring what is Poe’s most revealing – and potentially his best – verse. It may not be as well known as the likes of The Raven or Annabel Lee – in fact it wasn’t even published until well after his death in 1849, finally appearing in print in 1875, having been held within the possessions of a family in Baltimore – but what it does say does much to help our understanding of Poe’s nature and what lay behind his writing.
