Scriptrix and Priminatrix

Des/demona works with artists to actualize their visions and with physicists to create visualizations of their data sets.

Her solo and collaborative projects include scripting for:

• analysis of the limits of LSL arithmetic operations
• SL solar kinematic analysis
• development of analytical methods for scripting child rotational effects
• ELVEN conference center
• numerous variations on animation control
• extended sound sequencing
• distributed visitor logging
• camera view control system with fixed view and variations on follow view
• platonic solid rezzer
• methods for automated texture alignment
• the capture and analysis of avatar jumping motion
• FlowerBall at Princeton North and Burning Life 2007 and now Cetus/Locus
• the hug gifting system distributed by Random Calliope
• sporing mushrooms and solar/lunar beams in Chakryn Forest
• DynaFleur at Princeton South and currently at Caledon Kintyre @ 2500 m
• architectural simulations used for first life urban planning
• The Butterfly Hunt gifting system at Ode (194, 172, 151)
• stage prop 'one click' set management system
• Purgatorio at Rezzable's Garden of NPIRL Delights
• Pillflower World at NMC Campus 7 and then OCAD Campus
• 2D Bessel wave simulations using n-body technique
• using precision particle placement to create arbitrary surface shapes
• Quasar astrophysical data visualizations at StellaNova (218, 27, 26)
• The E8/4_21 polytope visualization (cf. Garrett Lisi's Theory of Everything ) at Burning Life 2008
• Urban Spectre at Burning Life 2008 and now at Locus (102, 48, 31)
• on very short notice, the Ritual Drumming system used at Burning Life 2008
• The shooting star gifting system at Ode (194, 172, 151)
• prim alignment methods
• StormEye exhibit at NMC Campus West (124, 78, 502)
• Vehicle performance metrics for deriving parameters from extant motion
• Sample visualizations for health, physics, math, and finance. This 3D rezzing system is being gifted freely at the data visualization lab at StellaNova (218,27,26)
• Desdemona received a 10,000 L$ award from Linden Labs for the discovery and investigation of a "previously unknown server denial of service attack vector" (jira SEC-301)
• Dancing with Myself for Nar Duell
• machinima director system for coordinating cameras, animations, and movement
• an in-world introductory tutorial on Quantum Mechanics)
• village, ritual and stage drumming systems for Burning Life 2009 (in progress)
• Dynafleur Redux at Caledon Kintyre (230,222,2624), precision, multi-prim landscape sculpting
• role playing quest systems
• usage of sine wave avatar robots for gallery exhibition control
• a detailed study into the glitchy behaviors of sound and sound synchronization
• meteor shower stage effects for AldoManutio Abruzzo concerts at Music Island

• mentoring on scripting techniques and the mathematics underlying them
• relentless role play (smiles) and similar time consuming activities

plus dozens of smaller projects done on an ad hoc basis for self and friends.

Who is Desdemona?

Desdemona has been in Second Life since 2005. She is a premiere content creator in the medium of complex scripted systems. She has received an award from linden labs for her discovery and reporting of a scripting compilation flaw that would 100% guaranteed a region crash in less than 5 seconds. Her major collaborative work of 2007 (FlowerBall) was listed in SL Top 10 for 2007. In 2008 her second major collaborative work (DynaFleur) was hosted by Princeton University and received 11,000 visitors. If you Google her name as an exact phrase, you will get over 4000 hits.
