Primcutter: An Exhibition of Work
by Oriscus Zauberflöte
Nov. 23, 2009 - March 15, 2010
University of KY Island, virtual William T. Young Library
"Primcutter" was an exhibition of the work of Oriscus "Oz" Zauberflote. In real life, Oz is a musicologist and the mild-mannered public information coordinator for a university school of music. But his alter-ego in SL is a master architect and builder of musical instruments which have won praise from a global audience. This exhibition shows scale models of many of his SL buildings, including several within walking distance on University of KY island. Also shown is a scaled down Gutenberg style printing press, many unusual musical instruments (including a massive playable carillon on a flatbed truck outside), and various woodworking tools and medical instruments. The exhibition is sponsored by the virtual William T. Young Library on the University of Kentucky's SL sim.
