The Low Life Epic, part of The Adventures of Nar Duell in Second Life series, was instigated in Low Lives 2, an international festival of live performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected in real time at multiple venues around the world, held in month 2011.

The Low Life Epic documents a performance (machinima and graphic novel) in which Nar Duell sets out in real-time to visit the darker side of Second Life. She attempts to experience the seven deadly sins in five minutes time.This work is not simply the presentation of a performance in virtual reality; it is the transmission of these moments from real life to screen: what gets lost, conveyed, blurred, and reconfigured in this medium. In this segment, Nar Duell reveals a growing-pain phase in which she craves attention. Like any good bad-girl, she cajoles other avatars to join her.

Low Lives 2, El Museo del Barrio was co-presented with Aljira, NYC, NY; Galería de la Raza co-presenting with ATA Gallery, NYC, NY; Diaspora Vibe Gallery, Miami, FL; The Temporary Space, Houston, TX; Obsidian Arts, Minneapolis, MN;Terminal:Trahern Building,APSU, Clarksville,TN; Co-Lab co-presenting with Fusebox Festival,Austin,TX; Studio 304, Brooklyn, NY, 2010
