Scriptrix and Priminatrix

Des/demona is a premiere content creator in the medium of complex scripted systems She wrote the sound scripting for "FlowerBall", which was judged one of the 2007 Top Ten Art Installations by the New World Notes blog. In 2008 her collaborative work "DynaFleur" with Douglas Story was hosted by Princeton University and received 11,000 visitors. Its restoration "DynaFleur Redux" is listed in the Linden Lab Showcase. She is the script author of the Lamplighter drumming systems used at Burning Life, the butterfly and meteor shower quest systems at Ode, an astrophysical visualization used at StellaNova, and in collaboration with Wizard Gynoid the visualizations of the E8 polytope underlaying the unified field theory of the physicist R Garrett Lisi. Her current projects include a quest system for Port Dervon, science exhibitions, and story development with Figbash Snook on the "Rise Of a Noble House"." 11/2009

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


Her solo and collaborative projects include scripting for:

  • an analysis of the limits of validity for LSL arithmetic operations
  • SL solar kinematic analysis
  • development of deterministic analytical methods to achieve precisely implemented rotational method
  • the ELVEN conference center
  • numerous variations on animation control
  • extended sound sequencing techniques
  • distributed visitor logging system
  • a camera view control system with fixed view and variations on follow view
  • platonic solid rezzer and other scripted geometric rezzers.
  • advanced methods for scripted texture alignment
  • the capture and analysis of avatar and object ballistic 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)

  • The 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, which will make 3D graphs of your own data, 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)
  • the mixed reality presentation "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 with Phong Artifact suppression
  • role playing quest systems: permits, powers, access, events
  • using sine wave avatar robots for gallery exhibition control
  • a detailed study into the glitchy behaviors of sound synchronization
  • meteor shower stage effects for concerts at Music Island
  • precision sculpt generation using programmed mathematical methods
  • scripted devices to provide region lag metrics
  • a numeric analysis of sound roll-off and Doppler effects
  • particle based astrophysical special effects: clusters, black holes, binaries
  • story writing and the creation of visual vignettes documenting these stories.
  • 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.
