Dirk special show

Designing Worlds is back with a brand new season and today there was a special tribute show at 2pm SLT in Second Life to remember Dirk Talamasca who sadly passed away in real life on Sunday 30th March 2014. You can watch the recorded Dirk Talamasca special tribute show here featuring historical footage and snapshots of Dirk’s work.

Since then there have been hundreds of personal tribute messages posted on Dirk’s Facebook page. There have been special memorial services in real life and Second Life to remember Dirk during the past month. Dirk will be missed deeply and may he rest in peace. The memories will be with us forever and lets remember the good times.
