Well it's birthday time again for Second Life. The big 6! The artists/creators/exhibitors are feverishly setting up their installations at SL6B as we speak. My dear friend Robin Moore procured an exhibitor's group invite for me, since I'm "on his build team". ;)) It's been really fun for me to wander the sims looking at progress. Sometimes wondering where something is going conceptually, and sometimes asking myself 'are they done with that?'. /me looks at Manx Wharton.. ;) I would never critique an artist, at least out loud, because I'm not so art-savvy that I can always see the vision or the message. I tend to interpret art at face-value, which probably shows that I'm a novice in this way. Robin's parcel is in good company, Manx is his neighbor, as is Misprint Thursday. My good friend Kolor is near another buddy, Scarp Godenot. It's fun to check out what my friends are doing and also see the artists that I admire from afar.
Robin's install contains a hand dropping down his diaramas onto the ground. Robin's diaramas have been featured many times at Brooklyn Is Watching, Chakryn Forest and Tonight Live. He shares a gallery, Mirage In My Mind, with Kean Kelly, both of whom have great items for free. (Actually, all of Kean's items are free.)
Kolor's install is so cool. Standing near the silver dots, you can draw shapes by left clicking. The dots form your drawing.
And when the dots form your drawing, so do the corresponding prims which are way larger than life. Kolor and I had fun exploring the SL6B, we agreed it was more fun when it's almost empty... kind of like being at the circus before it opens.
And Mr. Scarp Godenot's crazy sculpture is a fun one. I tried to illustrate how it radiates light from within, but we all know my photog skills.
This is an install by Rusalka Writer. I don't know this person, but I really really like SL scultpures that include people, and this one is a shining example.
Bryn Oh has a small installation at SL6B, which seems to be a preview of an installation that will be starting on IBM 3 in July.
That's it for my SL6B wanderings for now... Enjoy! :)
