Second Life Destinations

As my landing spot rezzed, I spotted a lady in a black dress, standing in front of me. Her name tag showed her to be the artist, Cica Ghost. I introduced myself as a reporter for the SL Newser, that had written about her last show and was now reviewing Strawberryland. She asked for the URL of the Newser and I gave it. I sensed that neither of us was prepared for an interview, but perhaps she could answer a question or two. In my mind, I am about to judge her art on how well it communicates ideas to me. I couldn't ask her, what's the meaning behind this or that, so I let the technical artist in me blurt out, "Are all you art objects made from sculpties or mesh?". She seemed proud to announce that they were all mesh. There was a steady trickle of new visitors to the exhibit, wishing to bestow at-a-girls and pats on the back side, so I thanked Cica for her time and inched away, pointing at my camera.

セカンドライフの中には美しい風景がたくさんあります。 「春だ! イチゴ摘みに行こう!!」ということで 今日の美しい場所ご紹介は Strawberryland by Cica Ghost @ Lost Island SIM さんのご紹介です。,

Strawberryland, which opened on Wednesday, March 23rd, is the latest full region installation by Cica Ghost – and for those with a love of strawberries, it offers a feast for the eyes – a rolling field of them! “I didn’t plan this,” Cica told me, as we discussed the build. “Every day in front of my building, I see a guy selling things [like strawberries].” And so,as the gardener nurtures their planets and fruits (or pseudo fruits), Cica tended to this thought and a few others, growing them into another delightful installation for us to explore and enjoy, full of treats of its own.

Now open is Strawberryland by Cica Ghost, the latest in an ongoing series of sim-wide installations filled with the artist's inventive playfulness. In place of a traditional land description, she settled for a joke — "Q: Why were the little strawberries upset? A: Because their parents were in a jam!" And indeed, strawberry vines are everywhere in this build, covering just about every foot of land, the bright red fruit standing out against the green leaves and the periwinkle-orange sky.

Am 23. März wurde von Cica Ghost erneut eine simweite Kunstinstallation eröffnet. Da ich seit einiger Zeit immer von Ux Hax (MetaLES) eine IM bekomme, wenn Cica wieder eine neue Region fertig hat, konnte ich mir das gestern praktisch mit dem Startschuss schon ansehen. Die Homestead-Region war dabei zeitweise voll, da fast alle bekannten Reiseblogger ebenfalls Cicas neueste Kreation angesehen haben.
