Yesterday, April 5th 2008, artist Joseph DeLappe finished his transphysical performance in Second Life and @ Eyebeam Atelier in New York City. The performance started March 12 and over its duration I was able to document some of the march for a bit of e-journalism.
These are some pictures from the last gathering @ Eyebeam Island:

A huge group of us marched from here on, the SL grid was not very kind to connection speeds and my laptop kept crashing, I returned a bit later to find this dragon!
This is the monument at Eyebeam Island, touch it and receive info about the event.
This intervention was a great exploration of performance in our new virtual social spaces.
I befriended many interesting people during the march, each of these experiences stretched their reach across the vastness of the net, taking me from a chance meeting with an avatar to numerous websites and second life sims. All in all a constant flow of information.
Lastly this is a video I made back in 2004, it was my first machinima and I have reedited the intro and shortened its length a bit.
Its titled Vana’diel:
