Friðarsúlan in Icelandic, otherwise known as the
Imagine Peace Tower has been recreated at least three times in
Second Life that we're aware of. The tower of light, dedicated to the late John Lennon, consists of a geothermally powered base, and shines its light as much as four kilometres into the sky. Around the base are the words
imagine peace in 24 languages.
This third
Second Life recreation of the light tower was commissioned by Yoko Ono, artist, peace-activist, musician and Lennon's widow.
After the lighting ceremony for the physical tower in Iceland, Ono will be unveiling this
Second Life version on
Imagine Peace Island (SLURL) at 3:30PM US Pacific time today.
The tower will illuminate 15 minutes after sunset each
Second Life day, and remain lit until the next
Second Life dawn. Sunset on the island takes place at 3:30, 6:30 and 10:30 (both AM and PM) US Pacific time each day.
