Lichtenstein Creative Media Pioneering Broadcasts from Virtual Worlds
Bill Lichtenstein and LCMedia pioneered the use of on-line 3-D virtual worlds, including Second Life, as a social media.
Starting in 2006, Lichtenstein produced the first ever concerts and live radio broadcasts from Second Life, featuring among others singer Suzanne Vega and author Kurt Vonnegut, who both appeared in avatar form. Subsequent events produced by Lichtenstein Creative Media in Second Life include a live press conference with Italian Minister of Infrastructure Antonio Di Pietra, and a live town meeting on Darfur with Mia Farrow, produced in partnership with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
BusinessWeek magazine cited Lichtenstein as one of eight "Savvy CEO's Who Hang Out in Second Life" along with IBM CEO Sam Palmisano and former Virginia Governor Mark Warner. Lichtenstein wrote the essay "The Transmission of Experience," identifying interactive 3-D virtual reality experiences such as Second Life as being the first to "transmit experience" over distances. |
