There has been a pleasure participating at Brooklyn is watching, and at "the SLon des Refusés" this summer. I have to admit that it has been an overwhelming experience too.
I did meet this heavy loaded vehicle in real life last week (picture above). Place and date: Råde, Norway Sept.10. I got inspired to sort my memory and inventory.
SLon des Refusés: organized by digital curator MonCherrie Afterthought with Dekka Raymaker, Arahan Claveau, and Mab MacMoragh. We were invited to the sim Magoo.

I am combining ink drawings, photos, and Second life snapshots taken at the sim Brooklyn is watching, "BIW", in Second life.
Snapshots of "Cuboid shark eats cuboid goldfish" by Dekka Raymaker, "Member" by Selavy Oh, and my project "Weights and wasps".
I am intrigued by the underwater "atmosphere" of virtual environments. The freedom, the weightlessness and lights.
And, i am concerned abouth the future of the sea, this "aquarium", the vulnerable system...

Snapshots from Brooklyn is Watching (BIW), and some of the art discussed in their Podcast 45 and 46 and shown in the video published at the 13 th of February 2009.
Artists: Ichibot Nishi and Arm Strom. Dekka Raymaker did later on, add his syringes. I think the syringes do contribute to the project in a brilliant way.
Podcasts from Brooklyn is watching. The regulars Jay Van Buren (Jay Newt) and Boris Kizelshteyn were joined by Alpha Auer, the artist and blogger of NPIRL. There was a conversation about the wealth of interesting art on the SIM.
"Every story should have something icky about it, otherwise its not a story": Alpha Auer.
I have removed the teapot with the script. It was partly ment like a disguice for more serious matter. The english word "disguise", was new for me when i started to play in Second life.
Later on i have added a new version of my insect, some sort of a parasitize wasp.
I have a playful aproach to Second life, and here i use a script from Arcadia... I have had a lot of fun with "the animated states of A..." Thank you!

In december 2008 there was an artinstallation, "a polkadotproject" under the sealevel.
I meet the artist Ichibot Nishi for the first time. (His/her avatar, left).
Since last summer, i have visited the gallerylandscape "Brooklyn is watching" several times.
This virtual gallery do interact with the gallery "Jack the Pelican Presents" in Brooklyn New York.
In the real life gallery, visitors will be able to see and interact with anything that happens at the sim in second life, on a 52 inch monitor.
I went berserk with my camera,...
Ichibot Nishi is one of my favourite builders in Second life.

Some days ago i put up my yellow and black walls, and got an interesting message from Ichibot Nishi, ... in the shape of a pink chainsaw. Ishibot is one of the artists i really have recognized at Popcha.
It reminds me of the first project i saw by Ichibot Nishi, in july 2008. I wonder what the artist likes to tell us?
When spellchecking some names i found this link: Broocklyn is watching Podcast # 45 from yesterday 7.february 2009.
