Found this via this site. The event will be at Odyssey (122,45,25).

From the notecard inworld:

Odyssey presents in conjunction with the opening of iMAL center for digital cultures and technology in Brussels:

THE GATE (or Hole in Space, Reloaded)
Yannick Antoine, Yves Bernard, Domenico Quaranta, Second Front
Installation and participative performance platform

The Gate is an installation connecting real life and Second Life (SL), a junction point, a door between two worlds and two representation spaces. Basically, it is a simple window between both worlds where real users and SL users see each other and can meet. A view of the SL Gate is permanently projected in the real life venue; when an avatar comes in front of The Gate, it is visible in the public space; when one arrives physically in front of the door in the public space, he/she can interact with the SL user currently in front.

The result will be a kind of happening where the virtuality of SL is transferred in the physicality of our public space and vice-versa; a stage for performance and interaction, something between a breakdance platform, an inter-dimensional portal and a peep show through parallel universes.

Perform from iMAL with people on Second Life
The Gate is installed on Odyssey, an island in Second Life dedicated to art and performance.
In the opening hours of iMAL (October 5 - 6, 11 AM - 7PM [2AM - 10AM SLT]; October 7, 10AM - 8PM [1AM - 11 PM SLT]), people, avatars and performance artists are kindly invited to come, perform and interact at The Gate, both in real life and in Second Life.
During the vernissage on October 4 (8:30 - 12 PM [11:30AM - 3PM SLT]) Second Front, the first performance art group in Second Life, will use The Gate as a in-between stage in front of iMAL visitors and SL passer-by.

The Gate is installed on the plaza next to the teleport hub on Odyssey.
