Zed-Wide World Paradise, Dali inspired

This is a totally cool sim. check it out here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/WideWorld%20Paradise/183/157/22 direct link here: ZedHere.
Wideworld Paradise Zed

The note card says: "Welcome to ZED, a surrealist experience!

The design of this sim was inspired in great part by the artwork of several well-known surrealist painters, mainly René Magritte and Salvador Dali, and on some designs by the famous Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi. Many of the 3D scenes you will see are my own 3D renditions of their paintings ; others are my own creations. In the Sky Gallery (􀂑 ) you will see the paintings that inspired my work.

Feel free to fly and explore. You can use the large Teleport Board at the landing point to visit different areas. There are also secret places that are not accessible via this large board. The more adventurous will have fun finding them on their own. You can also use the special doors to get to those secret places.

ZED is dedicated to romance and art in a surrealist, poetic ambiance. There are many places for chatting and dancing with your partner or friends. Some are designed for small groups, others for couples. There are also two places dedicated to group tai chi.
Do not hesitate to left- or right-click some objects, this is how you can find those TPs that lead t secret places ;-)

Occasionally we will have parties with some of the best DJs in SL playing great Techno and House music at Club Zed."

___________________________________________________________
The info. on site states:
"The show Visualizing Theorem features sixteen installations which are based on the science and math theories explored in the album Theorem produced by Ulf Skogsbergh. The album Theorem is a result of an online collaboration between ten musicians on Indaba Music.

In the exhibit 16 art works are presented ranging from performance, to detailed steam punk style machines, interactive work, and minimal conceptual work. Each of the contributing artists selected a track from the album Theorem to work from as their inspiration. The theories range from spacetime, to special relativity, to genetic theory as well as some philosophy and computer programming ideas.

The visitors can view the art and also play the related music or soundscapes in world while hopping site to site through the fully functioning university sim of UTSA.

PUSH PLAY TO HEAR MUSIC AND SOUND ENVIRONMENTS ON EACH BUILD!
