Not so long
ago I interviewed the über talented Mantis Oh aka Cari Lekebusch and look what
he has done now! He has created Ascension
which is a multimedia LEA sim. This
amazing sim opened on the 25th April 2013.
It is described
as “an ancient/futuristic landscape with surreal plants and hybrid insects,
Ascension takes the visitor on a trip of sound, color and light.”
There have
been mixed reviews about the ”creativity or artistry” of this sim, but isn’t
art by its very nature subjective? In my
humble opinion I think that Mantis Oh has achieved what he set out to do with
his sim and if you want an experience that is unique in SL then you will want
to take some time to thoroughly explore the seven levels of the Ascension tower
and lose yourself in a mysterious world where musical notes appear from under
your feet, robotic bumblebees hover close by and particles shimmer in the alien
atmosphere.
You can
immerse yourself completely in the experience by creating your own music alone
or with friends by jumping on the glowing sound pads and solve riddles under
the illuminated eyes of the mantis sphinx!
Sound is
the hook for the Ascension experience, so make sure your local sounds are on
and walk through the whole sim to discover mystical places and secret trails.
It’s time
to ascend…
