This is the 16th in a series of largely demographic interviews that are conducted with established residents, to find out more about them and their involvement with Second Life, and to contrast the differences between their views and experiences and those of the newer residents. The questions may be tailored slightly for each interview; responses may be edited for purposes of clarity.

I bumped into Olmia while I was doing some photography at the ABC Island sandbox tower. She was fun to talk to, and I was able to talk her into telling us a bit more about herself.

Second Life Name? Olmia Tenk

Second Life Age? 98 days

Label your subculture in Second Life. (Can be all the cultures you're involved in, or some part thereof.)

I am a nympheas, as the nympheas in Monet's paintings.

Do you have a favorite Second Life celebrity and why? (This could be a Linden you like, or perhaps someone well known in your community, etc)(Content creators are covered in the next question.)

Torley Linden. I read the Torley journey in the morphing of the avatars from senior to juniors. As a way of saving and regenerating himself he gained a second life. I also read Wagner James Au and China Tracey and Tateru Nino.

Do you have a favorite Second Life content creator (scripter, builder, artist, machinima, music, etc), and why? (Anyone whose work you personally like.)

The builders that created the Greenies House. Good taste, excellent build, fun and fantasy.

What do you prefer to do in Second Life as regards content creation (scripting, building, artistic, machinima, music, OR NONE, etc), and why? (A brief overview of all the things you like to do.)

I want to build, as in making art, like recreating a Monet waterlilies painting in 3D and that requires scripting so that nympheas live and play in the painting. Eventually i'll like to put out my work in virtual world for collection (purchase), as in RL my works are for sale.

What sort of events (if any) do you prefer to attend?

I've been to piano concerts, Heath. I've been to Rockit by Wolfie, I've attended building tutorials, I've been to the info session for Artist Residency by Aust Council for the Arts. I've been freebie sourcing :)

What would prevent you from attending an event? (Technical, ethical, mood considerations, other people, etc)

For now, nothing. Maybe something nasty has to happen for me to reject it. Or if you mean anything beyond my means, that will be time and broadband caps.
