Grace McDunnough

Bio

Grace is my digital identity through which I research the collisions of society and technology - collisions of magnitude from which new particles of our collective existence are emerging upon which we will build new markets, new models of behavior and identity constructs. I believe that virtual worlds can provide a conduit to a better human condition including global democratized markets and opportunity that are superior to our current ways of living, learning, and interacting as humans. I'm also a virtual worlds live musician. Some say Grace McDunnough may have been the unlikely digital love child of Andy Warhol without the soup can and Janis Joplin without the drugs - a hypnotic mix of subtle yet defiant artistic imagery blended with evocative, heart stopping musical highlights that permeates the veils of geography, culture and genre. I am the creator and producer of Musimmersion, founder of the Mill Pond Folk Festival, and a virtual world touring singer-songwriter. I have performed on stages large and small across the Second Life grid since 2006; I was the first live musician to perform in Metaplace, and am a member of the ground breaking live music tour called Rocking The Metaverse presented by Koinup - bringing live music into several virtual worlds including Second Life, Reaction Grid, Metaplace, Twinity and Active Worlds - Europe.
