"Prometheus" Takes Second Life Expressionist Machinima Ever Closer to the Sun

[Marta Lanzius]

In the Second Life machinima "Prometheus", the Greek legend is retold in bold imagery and blood-soaked symbolism, as if the story of the man who defied the gods had become a Dali-esque fever dream. Created by Luca Lisci, an Italian artist who is known in Second Life as Vive Voom, it's a glorious visual feast you should best watch in a darkened room with the lights turned low:

It's one of the best and most ambitious Second Life movies I've seen in quite awhile, and it's also the latest in what can only be called expressionist machinima. Like Lyric Lundquist and ColeMarie Soleil, Vive heavily post-processes and composites SL imagery into a new video form rich with emotional tones.
