D.R.O.I.D : reality isn’t everything : 23 Feb / Bristol+Second Life
featuring a stellar cast of 21st century dance music from top draw
live guests, DJs and some virtual avatar stars. The line up is
blistering in the bass end with super high end tweaks – be it filthy
house, dubstep-not-dubstep, mutant breaks, electro-techno of Victorian
Acid House. Seriously giant screens transform the club by hijacking the
world of Second Life and setting it loose in a real life environment, with live streams and killer VJ pyrotechnics

D.R.O.I.D
takes place live at the Trinity, but also here in cyberspace. If you
can't make it for whatever reason, you'll be able to tune in from the
comfort of your own bunker, sofa or padded cell.

to be the here and now, and what we think of as the future-distant.
This is where the live computer generation display their wares –
trombone action, crazed techno cabaret shows, filter sweeps and urban
music from across the globe liven up the place. The technology is set
loose for future funk.
D.R.O.I.D will take place simultaneously in the digitised world of Second Life, and as a consequence of this, across the known world.
The line-up at the Trinity will be streamed live into Second Life,
where avatars will be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of the night.
At the Trinity huge suspended, back-projected screens will show the
audience the virtual world of Second Life. There will also interaction
in the hall to allow participants to hit the dancefloor in the virtual
domain.
