SLon des Refusés, Brooklyn is watching. Mab MacMoragh, her Soup blogg and Flickr links ... Second life

Second life and real life snapshot: Arm Strom

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...

Avatar, identity, "the church of Whoami", Arthole in Second life

Installation art: Dekka Raymaker

Cartonish and iconic avatars. Hightech equipment. Sharp lines and tools, ... but i could not find the jigsaw.

Do you miss the church? Go there and have a look!

"What is art exactly" ? Podcast. Brooklyn is Watching, Second life. Jack the Pelican, New York

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!
