Mikati Slade's "Kuru Kuru", 2011, installation in SL
"Kuru kuru" [Japanese expression used to describe rotation]. Kuru Kuru World is about the cyclical nature of human history and civilization. Different parts of this art exhibit describe the development, destruction, and rebirth of human life and societal systems. The exhibit is built using 8-bit console game pixel graphics, primitive symbols of today's technology." (Mikati Slade)
