Slide show, Pride art, Skeive kunstnere, Oslo, Brooklyn is watching, Second life


Digital graphic art and slideshow: Arm Strom

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...

Don McCullinn in the national media museum, 8May -27 September 2009

"Donald McCullin, FRPS CBE (b. October 9, 1935, London, England), is an internationally-regarded British photojournalist, particularly recognised for his war photography and images of urban strife. His photojournalism career, which began in 1959, has specialised in examining the underside of society, and his photographs have depicted the unemployed, downtrodden and the impoverished". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures". - Don McCullin, Sleeping With Ghosts : A Life's Work in Photography by Don McCullin (Photographer), Mark Haworth-Booth (Introduction), Donald McCullin , ISBN: 0893816590 , Page: 96
