A chronicle of the development of GONE GITMO, a virtual installation of Guantanamo Bay Prison in Second Life. GONE GITMO is a collaboration between Nonny de la Peña and Peggy Weil.
Thanks to Cinco Pizzicato and Fleef Fimicoloud aka machinima genius Frank Fox (FlingFilms.com), some crucial elements have been added to the build. Cinco built a C-17 Transport Plane to house the interior of the plane built by Buhbuhcuh Fairchild. Fleef created the prototype for Camp Delta and Saliant Infinity aka Matt Lee has given it shape and script. Cinco also brought Gandhi to the Camp X-Ray as part of Joseph DeLappe's performance piece as shown:
GONE GITMO was developed at a MacArthur sponsored residency at BAVC New Media Producers Institute in 2007. Thanks to our early supporters: Joi Ito, Ben Batstone-Cunningham, and Steve Anderson and Holly Willis of the Institute for Multimedia Literacy at USC School of Cinemtatic Arts.
