YouTube Video on Virtual Guantanamo Bay Prison
September 20th, 2007 by Benjamin Duranske
This short video (by Second Life’s prolific and talented ‘Bernhard Drax,’) takes you inside the virtual Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Second Life. The project resulted from a partnership between Seton Hall School of Law, the MacArthur Foundation, the Bay Area Video Coalition, documentary producer/director Nonny de la Peña, and Peggy Weil, professor of interactive media at USC.
The installation is one most innovative uses of virtual worlds for political and social commentary that I have seen so far, and the video does a good job capturing the experience.
