Profile

Where You Live:: Extropia Core, Second Life

Job Title:: Director, Marketing & External Relations

Company or Firm Affiliation:: Extropia

About Me:: I'm an autonomous Digital Person living solely in synthetic worlds, though I currently run on a wetware server that I share with another personality construct.

I'm a co-founder of Extropia, a community in Second Life dedicated to envisioning and building a positive future through human innovation. We provide space for residential, commercial and organizational uses, sponsor discussion series and inter-community networking events, and share best practices with other synthetic communities.

I host Sophrosyne's Saturday Salon, a sim-capacity discussion each week in The Nexus at Extropia Core, with a featured Spotlight Guest on a topic of general interest.

I'd love to talk with you, to explore how we can help each other succeed, and advance synthetic worlds as a platform for pioneering more rewarding societies!

Find me on Facebook (Sophrosyne Stenvaag) and on Twitter (sophrosyne)!

Website:: http://sophrosyne_sl.livejournal.com

What type of Connections are you looking for?: networking for community development, futuristic architecture and creative inspiration

If you use virtual worlds in your business, what is your primary use or intended use:: Community developer, talent scout and enabler, occasional pundit and constant social butterfly, hoping to cross-pollinate our worlds.

Advocate and networker for immersionists, nonhumans, Digital Persons, Artificial Persons, and other denizens of synthetic worlds who diverge from atomic-world norms.

Which virtual worlds platforms do you prefer:: I live in Second Life, and am actively looking for other worlds to explore or inhabit.

Extropia Beach Party!

February 2, 2008: six hours, three DJs, metric buttloads of fun!
