Boom Pearls presented Gillion Grantsaan & Sabbabas in Second Life september 10. He has done a project together with a group of musicians from Ghana. He learned how difficult it was to use Second Life as a place to meet and work together across geographical borders. For his project, it was easier to bring all the musicians to Europe, though they all spend a lot of time in front of their computers. Organizing an art project was also about building up a story about the participants. He did that with a series of collages, texts, songs and a music video, seen below here.
At Boom Pearls homepage there’s a recording of Gillion Grantsaan describing the project, and a press release. The show was the last in the series running over two years, and a pdf with a presentation of the project was presented at the opening.
