Establish the virtual presence of the Swedish embassy in Second Life.
A truly unique project, the Second House of Sweden was designed to be not only a replica of the Swedish embassy in Washington, D.C. but also one of the first virtual embassies ever. As a member of the design team put together by the Electric Sheep Company and the Swedish Institute, I created the virtual version of this embassy. My work on the project can also be found in the form of an exhibit curated by the National Museum, a photography exhibit of Sweden, virtual recreations of furniture by Ikea and the Wood Furniture Company, and an educational exhibit room and garden highlighting the work of Swedish botanist Carl Linneaus.
