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!

Avatars and art in Second life, Filthy Fluno

Snapshot: Arm Strom

Filthy Fluno and his art in Second life. An interesting link:  "Portrait of an Artist as an Avatar", by Sara Corbett. Published: March 5. 2009 in The New York Times.

I found a snapshot in my inventory too, from March 28. 2008 (last year). I wonder why some men approach me with horns and helmets?

"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!

Text and snapshots: Arm Strom.

Ichibot Nishi and "the polkadotproject" at Brooklyn is watching, in Second Life

Snapshots: Arm Strom


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.
