A Second Life Tourist Destination: Chromutate
This is the description of Chromutate sim in Second Life:
This psychedelic installation moves and reacts as you interact with it. The colors can be controlled from a separate Web site or directly in-world. Platforms will rise and fall, objects will drop from sky, things will spin, and your avatar will jump for joy!
How could anyone resist such compelling language?
I haven't been doing a lot of jumping for joy lately, not in real life. Nor has my Second Life avatar been doing much jumping for joy either. I'm certainly willing to give Chromutate a try. I'll report back later.
Review
Well, I just had a look around. I used the Second Life viewer rather than one of the many third-party viewers. No, I don't use Emerald Viewer. Bad, bad, Fractured Crystal!
I took some photos, to document my travel. In the first, you can see what was referenced in the quote, how the sim colors can be controlled within world. The controller even works! I didn't play with it much, as there was a lot to see, just the way things were. A few mildly amusing things dropped out of the sky on their own.

Land of LOL
I enjoyed the Land of LOL which is barely visible below. I wish I had snagged a better image capture of it. The LOL sign is great, as are the silly but slightly menacing single eye and tentacles.
Instead, you're stuck just looking at me, Ellie Heartsdale. If you click on the image, my nice black latex suit with matching Star of David necklace and earrings are visible ... lololol :)
I badly need some emojis.
