Scriptrix and Priminatrix

Des/demona is a master scripter and advanced builder.

She works for artists, mathematicians, physicists, educators, and product developers that create in-world content for SecondLife, the reaction grid, and the rezzable grid. She creates custom animations, sculpts and textures using both off the shelf tools and custom systems software that she writes herself. She pursues her own research projects in photometric reconstruction.

Her award winning collaborations with Douglas Story include: FlowerBall, which was a Top Ten Art Installations noted by New World Notes; and DynaFleur, which received 11,000 visitors in 2008 and was listed in the Linden Lab Showcase in 2009. She is the script author of the Burning Life 2008 and 2009 Lamplighter drumming systems, the Butterfly and Meteor Shower quest systems at Ode, and an astrophysical visualization at StellaNova. In collaboration with Wizard Gynoid, she developed the scripts that create the visualizations of the E8 Special Lie Group which underlays the unified field theory of the physicist R Garrett Lisi. Her current projects include a new artistic collaboration with Douglas, a series of educational systems, and a in-world graphic novel co-developed with Figbash Snook. (1/2010)

If you Google her name as an exact phrase, you will get over 4000 hits.



She performs these functions on an ongoing basis....

  • mentoring on scripting techniques and the mathematics underlying them
  • relentless role play (smiles) and similar time consuming activities
  • regular participation in the Chilbo Community scripting workshop
  • scores of smaller projects done on an ad hoc basis for self and friends.
