Second Life Destinations

Fancy being embraced by warm colours? Would you like to wander around in someone’s mind? Then LEA4 is the sim to be! Until the end of February 2017 you will be able to roam in Suzen JueL’s world.  Inspired by her music she has designed this world where the environment fits perfectly with the  colourful paintings and little characters she has created. The experience was even more enhanced for me when she told me how one of her songs particularly inspired the build and I started listening to it while roaming around. (“Caravan“). Highly recommendable!

The Brother's Tale, an exhibition by Silas Merlin at Pica Pica, is open just a few days through the 27th of this month. The original purpose for the exhibit was for Silas to experiment and play around.  For best viewing, set Advanced Lighting Model in graphics tab in preferences. I also ticked Atmospheric Shaders in the Lab viewer. With the windlight (Annan Adored’s Dusty) and the terrain textures in pastel medium, the exhibit is quite magical.

A lovely find  this sim , have your stream on to hear snippets from macbeth and more.  Touch the mcbeth books you see around the sim to give you quotes, and touch the plaques to tp around to different scenes.

Silas zeigt aktuell auf seiner eigenen Homestead Region eine Reihe seiner 3D Skulpturen. Wer die bisherigen Arbeiten des französischen Modellierungskünstlers kennt, würde vielleicht vermuten, dass Silas hauptsächlich Skulpturen von Kindern ausstellt. Das ist hier aber nicht so. Die meisten Charaktere sind eher monströs und mit kriegerischer Symbolik.

Eigentlich braucht man sich zum Erkunden vom Landepunkt nicht wegbewegen. Ich bin nur ein paar Schritte zur Seite gelaufen (falls noch weitere Besucher kommen) und habe dann alles mit der Kamera betrachtet. Die Skulpturen reichen von einem Meter Größe bis zum Giganten von etwa einhundert Meter.

Now open is the Blue Orange ArtCorner, a new gallery space for two- and three-dimensional art curated by Ini (In Inaka), with an inaugural group of artists featuring Theda Tammas, Indigoclaire (third image), Miu Miu Miu (image below), Eupalinos Ugajin (lowest image), and Igor Ballyhoo (image above). The gallery is not only a space for the display of art, but also for social conversation, as evidenced by the lovely and well-decorated club environment at the landing point. "Blue Orange is project to pull together open minded, friendly people to share time, music, RL and SL art understanding — (rl=sl=rl basically)." explains Ini.

This is a reminder that continuing through the end of December, The Joy Formidable by Livio Korobase can be found on the ground level of Berg by Nordan Art. You can ride paper airplanes, pose with cats and slow dance with a friend.  There's a teleport sign near the SLurl landing from this blog up…

Am 11. Dezember 2016 öffnet auf LEA 6 um 1pm SLT (22 Uhr MEZ) die Installation "The Cruelty of Peace" von Lilia Artis. LEA 6 gehört zu den Core Regionen, die etwas unregelmäßiger an Bewerber vergeben werden als die 20 Artists-in-Residence Regionen.

Übersetzt heißt den Name der Installation "Die Grausamkeit des Friedens". Entgegen dem ersten Eindruck, den man auf der mit Pastellfarben gestalteten Region erhält, ist das Thema der Arbeit leider ein sehr ernstes. Denn es geht darum, dass die Gewalt zwischen Menschen auch im vermeintlichen Frieden allgegenwärtig ist.

Am 9. Dezember 2016 wurde auf MetaLES die Installation "OpeRaAnxiEty" von JadeYu Fhang eröffnet. Damit wurde Tumor von Igor Ballyhoo abgelöst. Die zweite Installation von Tutsy Navarathna mit dem Namen Tout est Allumé kann weiterhin auf MetaLES besichtigt werden. Landepunkt ist wieder in einer Skybox zwischen den beiden Installationen. Zu "OpeRaAnxiEty" kommt man durch Klick auf das entsprechende Schild in dieser Skybox.

As of November 23, 2016, Dixmix Art Gallery hosts three incredible artists, Maloe Vansant, Isa Messioptra and Fingers Scintilla. At the entrance of the fine art gallery are photographs of Maloe Vansant that furnish the Black Gallery. In fact, Dixmix Art Gallery, offers three different types of prevailing colors: black, gray and white.

I first encountered the art of Morlita Quan in June 2016, when I visited her exhibition Organic Geometry (read here). I was at once fascinated and captivated by her work, so it was with delight that I recently had the opportunity to visit her gallery space in-world, Abstract Line Art Gallery, located over the region of Dax.

A physical world artist hailing from Spain and working under the name MorlitaM, Morlita’s artistic expression covers 2D and 3D art and music, and all three are very much reflected in her Second Life presence, where she exhibits her 2D work, creates 3D art and also plays music, often at the opening events for other artists and galleries she knows.

Apmelina sometimes felt like she was being watched by aliens here and the work behind her on the above picture is actually called "Visit from Venus" but the notecard she picked up at the gallery was reassuring.

Abstract Line Art Gallery it's a 2D RL Work's compilation BY MORLITA Quan (MorlitaM).

Blue Orange, is a new music and arts venue in Second Life, brought together by Ini (in Inaka), which opened its doors on Saturday, December 17th, 2016.

I have made three trips to see “Hand” at Immersiva. Bryn Oh puts in delightful details that make me return. Did you find a tube of lipstick with a poem inside? The spotlight effects and dark shadows are good.

The storyline follows a young girl, Flutter. It's a creative and interesting explore and although I didn't get any pics of them the textures on some of the walls along with the use of projectors were truly intriguing. Be sure to tip or purchase some of the items along the way or in the gacha in order for Bryn to continue to host these kinds of sims for us to explore. Enjoy and give yourself plenty of time as there is so much detail to think about and work through along the way.

We were standing in the foyer of one of two galleries spaces hosted by the Ayuda Virtual Community Gateway, which has been designed specifically for Spanish-speaking people around the world, and which is part of the Lab’s Community Gateway programme. Both Damian and Mona are prime movers behind the project, and our conversation came about after I dropped into the region to see the art space – which is curated by Monabyte

Opening today, Sunday, December 11, at 1 pm slt, is The Cruelty of Peace, an installation by artist Lilia Artis on LEA6. What at first seems like a charming, snowy landscape, with semi-transparent trees and plants shimmering in celadon and lilac, becomes a horrific scene as we witness what's happened: amid the pastoral setting, houses have been destroyed and burned, and bodies of families lie scattered on the cold ground nearby.

Hand, Bryn Oh’s latest full region installation officially opens in Second Life on Saturday, December 10th at 12:00 noon SLT. It offers visitors an immersive experience which mixes art and storytelling with a touch of mystery and discovery.

On arrival, visitors are asked to accept the experience HUD (which will initially be blank) , and which can be minimised by clicking the dancing figure icon. As there is a lot of text to be read as one progresses through the experience, the HUD can also be further enlarged by clicking the Extra Large Text button on the HUD.

Am Samstag, den 10. Dezember, eröffnet Bryn Oh ihre neue Installation "Hand". Ich zeige heute noch nicht so viele Fotos davon, da ich selbst nur kurz vorbeigeschaut habe. Ich werde mir das aber auch noch einmal in Ruhe ansehen und dann noch ein paar weitere Bilder bloggen.

Ihre letzte Installation mit dem Namen "The Singularity of Kumiko", hatte Bryn Ende August 2016 abgebaut und dann direkt mit der Arbeit an "Hand" begonnen. Es gab auch bereits vor einer Woche die erste Ankündigung zur Eröffnung, gefolgt von einem weiteren Blogpost am 9. Dezember, in dem dann noch weitere Details erklärt werden.
