"US&THEM-the re.rebirth of the demon"

di 

Moeuhane Sandalwood

From Wednesday July 2nd 

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Solaris%20Island/211/243/2003

Il Progetto "Us & Them", di Moeuhane Sandalwood, non è un lavoro di finzione. È un'immagine del nostro tempo. Preso uno di questi giorni in una di quelle nazioni. E abbastanza peculiare: Chi visita la mostra, sarà lui o lei già parte di esso . L'unica cosa da decidere è: in quale immagine ti identifichi?

"I veri campioni della libertà di una nazione sono quelli che rifiutano la limitazione degli stereotipi e affermano la ricca diversità della natura umana ." - Vasilij Grossman, 'An Armenian Sketchbook'

Nino Vichan Cosa ti ha portato in Second Life? Moe Ho letto un sacco di cose di questo mondo. Ma per molti anni non ho scaricato il viewer. Quando l'ho finalmente fatto, ho soggiornato per due giorni. Tutto sembrava terribile e io non ero in grado di muovermi, come la maggior parte di noi nei nostri primi giorni. Ci volle un secondo turno due anni dopo per ritentare restare. Come molti di noi, ho viaggiato attraverso la grid per molte settimane prima di rendermi conto, che questo mondo offriva un enorme potenziale per i creativi. Nino Vichan Che cos'è l'arte per te in Second Life? Moe Art in Second Life è il mio mezzo di espressione. Posso dire la mia in 2D e 3D. In RL il mio mezzo di espressione è la parola. Qui posso raccontare le mie storie con immagini, piccole o grandi. Ho pochissime limitazioni di dimensione o forma o colore. E 'sicuramente una forma di magia, se si può creare da un piccolo pezzo di compensato e di portarlo a quasi ogni forma di vita che si possa immaginare. Nino Vichan  Cosa ti ha spinto a fare arte in Second Life? Moe Non mi ricordo che cosa mi abbia spinto. Ho iniziato molto presto ad ingrandire oggetti molto, molto da vicino e sperimentato con le impostazioni WindLight. Quello che è venuto fuori sono fotografie che sembravano dipinti. Questo mi ha affascinato. Ed ho iniziato a creare le mie scene o oggetti, esplorare le molte opzioni nel nostro menu. Ma devo nominare una persona ora. Incontro Ally Aeon (nintin) ha portato tutto a un livello diverso. Ally mi ha introdotto nell' “Artist Group Aeonia” e fornendo me feedback, spazio e prims e questo è stato probabilmente il punto di svolta. Così ancora una volta: Grazie Ally! Nino Vichan Cosa ispira le tue creazioni? Moe Vita. Real Life e Second Life. E' così semplice. Che si tratti di mia esperienza, la bellezza della natura, il lato brutale della natura, tutti gli aspetti della vita umana, la storia, le questioni attuali Nino Vichan Sei un artista a rl? Moe Sono in un business creativo, ma l'arte in RL è solo un hobby Nino Vichan C'è un sito dove si possono vedere le tue creazioni? MoeIl mio nuovo lavoro può essere visto in molte gallerie nella grid, come faccio di solito creo un nuovo lavoro per la galleria che mi invita. La mia galleria, dove mi mostra una vasta selezione del mio lavoro (soprattutto 2D) si trova sulla terraferma: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gariepy/112/211/1995 Nino Vichan Quali sono le tecniche creative che si utilizza nel suo lavoro? Moe Io uso una vasta gamma di tecniche. Da tortura prim, agli sculpt, ale mesh , agli script , fotografie SL e RL , a volte lavorate con gimp. Mi piace mantenere le cose semplici anche se - specie di un tavole un approccio unghie. Il contenuto e il messaggio vanno prima progettazione. Nino Vichan Progetti per il tuo futuro artistico in Second Life? Moe Ho un paio di show in preparazione in gallerie SL , alcune anche con Lilia Artis. Ma niente grandi come "The Machine" a LEA 6 lo scorso inverno. Nel prossimo futuro mi piacerebbe tornare a show full-sim - con il permesso di RL.

"Sono i momenti che creano la nostra vita, tutti unici. Questo è cio che cerco di dimostrare nelle mie fotografie. I miei momenti unici.

Mi piace scattare foto per dare forma alle emozioni che il mondo produce intorno a me.

Aspiro a suscitare interesse nello spettatore ed a farlo partecipare alle mie emozioni.

"Istants" è una piccola raccolta di immagini scattate in una città che ha un fascino speciale per me.

Passeggiando per le sue strade i giardini e le mostre, Parigi mi ha spinto a fotografare ciò che mi piace di lei.

E' la mia seconda mostra in SL, sono le mie prime immagini della mia vita e le emozioni che mi provoca fotografare."

The inspiration for this piece comes from the history of aviation starting with the dream to fly , the observation of nature and a kids dream with a paper plane all the way to space traveling. 

London Junkers is a seasoned second life resident with a real life experience in graphics and image related work. In second life he took part in numerous art exhibitions namely for the U.W.A., L.E.A., and various art galleries. He also created a few installations for the second life birthday events. At the moment he is working on some pieces for future exhibits.

Nino Vichan: What brought you in Second Life?

London Junkers: I discovered second life while watching an interview with Dr. Michio Kaku where he was inworld exploring the benefits of virtual communication.

Nino: What is art for you in Second Life?

London: Art is not in second life is another form of art complementing real life art.

Nino: What prompted you to make art in Second Life?

London: It was only natural to use this medium as an exploration exercise since I do artwork in my first life as well.

Nino: What inspires your creations?

London: Beauty mostly but some times just things that I love like in this case my interest in aviation.

Nino: Are you an artist in rl?

London: Arent we all, :-)).

Nino: Is there any artist that inspires you in SL or RL?

London: Many of course, but it would be difficult to pick one, I reckon it depends on the mood.

Nino: Is there a site where we can enjoy your creations?

London: I prefer to work in one piece at a time and devote all my attention to it so Tanalois gallery is the only place where you can see my work at the moment..

Nino: Any projects for your artistic future in Second Life?

London: Yes I am currently planning a few projects to be announced soon.

the opening of the art exhibition

Lollito Larkham

Saturday April 26th 22.30 IT - 1.30 PM SLT

3D Art Gallery: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Solaris%20Island/172/41/1402

Aloisio Congrejo has interviewed the artist.

Aloisio Congrejo: What brought you in Second Life?

Lollito Larkham: Hello. I created my avatar in august 2007, but started to come regularly since January 2088. I came for an online role game first, but discovered something totally different, intriguing, and very stimulating. I didn't know anything concerning 3D before that. Even the single word "vertice" or "mesh" or "texture", etc, was for me like Chinese talking. I starting by building tortured prims, and then discovered the existence of external objects it was possible to import from blender. And so, in 2008 i started to produce my first sculpted prims while i was discovering Blender. And, from sandbox to sandboxes and sculpted prims to another, i met Artistide Desprès accidentally. She introduced me to the Caerleon Art Collective group and then my artistic second life was born!

I have been away for 2 years, and came back recently for a participation at the Philosopher's Stone, a project initiated by Pixels Sideways and Georg Janick.

I must say my second life is episodic now. I have no more time enough to be involved in SL as i was in the past. Making art installation consumes times, specially when you create everything from scratch, from concept to final rendering in SL. It represent a lot of work in Blender, and you have to set it up once again in SL each time, for each project.

This is a long process each time and some other 3D projects are keeping me busy.

Alo: What is art for you in Second Life?

Lollito: Art in SL can have so many forms. Each artist has its own speciality and focuses. Not all exploit all the SL possibilities, me the first !

Art in SL is something new, still in experimentation. The thing is that you have to deal with the limits. For example, you could be an ace in animation, you still can't animate hands or faces. That means some art disciplines are very exiting in SL, i specially think about immersive interactive builds, while some others are limited (animation field).

There is now new shaders, with multiple layers textures, and this is good. I've just experimented this a bit in this exhibition, hoping you'll like it !

SL is still evolving, and art in SL will grow in the same time. I remember the time of my first sculpties. We had to deal with a tiny sculpt map, and the use of cutted sculpted prims was a pain (sadistic) for a "normal" modeler. I was about to leave SL because of this: why to spend so many time to model sculpted prims, while blender can offer so much more potential as a visual artist. And then came the mesh in SL. Second life is easier now and graphically better. Meshes imports brought it like in a new dimension.

But in my opinion only a few are using all the possibilities of what the SL engine offers. I think of interaction with external datas and peoples. It needs some devices, it's technical, and only few sorcerers can manage that. That's waht makes also sl exiting, like a mad scientist laboratory where everybody leads its own experiments.

For is art for everyone is SL. 

Alo: What prompted you to make art in Second Life?

Lollito: Is there something else to do there ?

Alo: What  inspires your creations?

Lollito: My inspiration comes from other artists as well as movies, music, etc. 

Alo: Are you an artist in rl?

Lollito: Depending on the definition of an "artist", yes i am. 

I have achieved musical studies in Conservatoire, and studied in graphic art school.

Alo: Is there any artist that inspires you in SL or RL?

Lollito: Yes, there is inspiration everywhere. In RL or SL.

This is what is exiting, you can always see something new, made diferently, surprising, or simply something you don't like.

Often, it is one aspect, or several that are inspiring in a given artist. Everyone has its own interest, and everyone is inspiring someone else. You can see it through the time along peoples art pieces evolution. This is good and very positive. 

Inspiration comes also from movies, music, paintings, but also all those "incognito" artists you can see on the mainstream social networks.

Just log on the web and be submerged by inspiration! The most important is that when comes your time to create, to recover and stay in your personal expression. In music we'd say to develop your own gesture.

Taking from others, everybody does. The interesting part is the way you appropriate and make your own stuff that goes beyond what inspired you first, could be a style or a technic.

      

Alo: Is there a site where we can enjoy your creations?

Lollito: No, i just have a scrapbook on flickr.

As i started 3D five years ago, i thought it was a question for later.

I don't consider it as a pro portfolio, but like a place where i keep my "scratches"

The pro site is on my to do list... 

https://www.flickr.com/photos/lollito/

Alo: What are the creative techniques that you use in your work?

Lollito: My tool is blender, to make models, texture them, animations, lightnings, etc.

Concerning creation process, the rule is: no rules.

I'm very spontaneous. For me the "creative gesture" is important.

I like to work with associations of ideas, and mixing things or concepts to make contrasts.

I like to explore the relations beetwen space and light. 

Lightning offers a great potential graphically and emotionaly. 

To define space with lights is one of my investigation field for some of my SL previous works.

As well as using the environemnt in game or the baked light from blender. 

The point is that the more you know the tools, the more you can exploit it to express freely.

Scripting is one aspect i totally ignore, as i don't know scripting. Im' not enough present in SL to learn and progress.

I just can use basic ones.

Of course that limits the possibilities. It's a choice, because i had to spend my all life in SL to become a mediocre scripter, lol!

There is always a smart person to help for scripts when i need something special.

Alo: Any projects for your artistic future in Second Life?

Lollito: Not really. I'll keep my episodic visits, but no big projects.

I didn't submit for LEA again, as i know i couldn't spend all the time needed to make big installation with high quality mesh work.

There will be next Caerleon Isles group projects. Aside of this, i have no special projects for SL.

I will be focused on RL blender game project, and, as i mentioned before, SL is too chronophageous to open a "second front" there actually.

Big projects are interesting if you have a place to lead them and time for it. In my case, you can add a good scripter to work with.

As a real life abstract artist I live in the United States on the east coast, where my abstracts, mostly digital at the moment, are as diverse as the weather is in this part of the country.  A huge home remodel forced me to put away my acrylics, watercolors, pencils, and inks for awhile so I acquired a few painting programs for my computer to use during this time and found myself hooked on them.

 In RL I have  websites which offer all the digital paintings that you see here in SL and more. Exhibiting over 700 pieces  on the site what you see in SL is only a small sampling. 

http://d-perry.artistwebsites.com

http://www.zazzle.com/pymeohmy

  

In Second Life  I am a resident artist at the  East/West Gallery, and exhibit in many places throughout SL, including 2 of my own galleries..

 My work is mostly intuitive. When I paint I get lost in the layers of the journey, most times not knowing the destination. I love the excitement of the unexpected, and to the contrary, I love the comfort and security of the expected as well, hence, the diversity in my pieces. My work is a mix of bright bold opaque strokes full of energy and soft, quiet, watery and translucent hues. Some simple, some complex. Layer Upon layer, sometimes up to 20 layers or more of colors, textures and forms.

I love to experiment therefore I don't have one set style. No one ever knows what I might come up with next, including myself!

 My mission is to evoke an emotional response using color, form, texture, and movement. I really hope to catch your eye, and then maybe your thoughts, maybe your emotions and fill some part of you with question, with feeling. I hope to stir something even if it's for just a moment. 

 My goal is to allow you to get lost in the image, to experience it with your own mind.

  I have been experimenting with creating objects d'art and art glass using my paintings with very interesting results. To view these pieces visit one of my shops or IM me for info. Also dabbling with putting textures on clothing  which is really a lot of fun!

 I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it.   I am always interested to to hear what the viewer sees and feels so please feel free to IM me or write to me with thoughts or questions. If you ask to join my group for updates on new exhibits and pieces I would be happy to send you an invitation. 

Thank you so much for your interest and taking the time to read this. And just a quick side note, I would like to thank all of you who have been supporting me, it truly means the world to me.

    ~ Ohsoleomio

 The offered artwork is resizable to suit your needs.  Please feel free to contact me with questions, special requests, group info etc.

 Please note: The professional name I use in RL is d.Perry so on occasion some artwork may be signed this way.

~PLEASE respect my work and copyright and do not try to use any image or parts of my images commercially, inside SL or anywhere else. Thank you.

Xirana Oximoxi

I’m a Catalan artist. My works reflect my concerns and my different moods. They are based on my experiences and express a personal sensitivity nourished by impressions from the external world and my internal world. In this latter sense, I like to call them abstractions of  'mental landscapes'. The works reflect the influences of impressionism, expressionism, abstract expressionism of artists like Jackson Pollock and the informalism among many others.

My creative process is constantly evolving and those changes make it difficult to label my art as one specific style. An idea, a painting, a sketch or a simple random spot can open new ways of artistic research and the exploration of new expressive possibilities.

I usually work with different mediums, oil, watercolor, acrylic, ink, charcoal and pastel.

Most of my works are available in RL. If you are interested, please contact me via Email.

Actually I am doing illustrations for children's books too. If you are a writer and would like me to prepare some images for your books, please contact me via Email. You can see some exemples of them at the LM below.

Qualcosa di me.

Fiona nasce nel novembre 2006, da subito viene attratta dal fare fotografie, e dallo studiare e servirsi del viewer per inventarsi stili.

Propongo questa sera due punti di vista, il "mondo" che abitiamo normalmente e Quadri di Mare punti di vista diversi, guardare le cose da un'angolazione insolita e accorgersi di come possa cambiare in un attimo l'ambiente che ci circonda.

"Non chiamatemi artista, non lo sono".... lo so lo dicono tutti, chiamatemi creativa è il termine che più mi si addice, di Second Life adoro la possibilità di sfruttare un viewer per inventarmi ogni giorno esperimenti curiosi e divertenti, e poi perché no... condividerli con voi tutti.

Nato nel 2010, ho girovagato per land, conoscendo persone e luoghi. Non sempre presente nel metaverso, ho trascorso lunghi periodi di distacco, per noia o...per avvenimenti spiacevoli.

L'arte in Second Life è stata una recente scoperta, o meglio, il mio interesse per l'arte in questa second vita.Il mio percorso artistico in SL nasce con una elaborazione di frattali, che mi hanno sempre attratto per la loro strana similitudine con le strutture microscopiche o macroscopiche della natura.

Ringrazio Alo e Tani che mi permettono di mostrare i miei lavori per la prima volta in Second Life.Un ringraziamento particolare ai due amici che mi hanno spinto in questa avventura!

Trésor de l'Art @ ART: UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

Nino Vichan: What brought you in Second Life?

Fae Varriale: I saw a program about it on TV. I thought it looked awful but decided to take a look -  that was 6 years ago.

Nino: What prompted you to make art in Second Life?

Fae: I had put some photos from SL on Flikr and became inspired by the work of SL artists I saw there. As I had always built in SL creating 3D works and installations was just a natural progression.

Nino: What  inspires your creations?

Fae: Fantasy and myth runs through a lot of my work, and I like my installations to stories that take you on a journey. Inworld I often will get inspired by a place, or a pose, or maybe an item of clothing and create a picture round that - those often come out totally different to what was originally intended though.

Nino: Are you an artist in rl?

Fae: No

Nino: Is there any artist that inspires you in SL or RL?

Fae: It is more the individual art work that inspires me than any specific artist, although in SL a lot of Bryn Oh's work has really moved me

Nino: Is there a site where we can enjoy your creations?

Fae: I have a gallery where I display my pictures. My 3D work isn't on display anywhere at the moment.

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bran/244/230/3003

Nino: What are the creative techniques that you use in your work?

Fae: My pictures are taken in SL and post processed in Gimp and Photoshop. I am currently learning to create with 3D programs to make my own mesh.

Nino: Any projects for your artistic future in Second Life?

Fae: I am too busy working on a large project with MadPea Productions right now, but I hope to have the chance to have an LEA sim again some time in the future.

Fae Varriale Biography

*********

Drawing on the diversity of beautiful and unusual landscapes and the ability to change appearance to almost anything you wish, Fae uses photographs taken inworld as the basis for her pictures.  

As a keen builder she also developed a passion for creating 3D art and immersive installations and became involved in creating installations as part of mixed media performance space, incorporating live music, storytelling and dance. She has created stage sets for the Independent Ballet Company, DiversionzDance, BOSL Fashion Week and Miss Virtual World.                       

"Often dark and moody, Fae's artwork is inspired by myth, folklore and fantasy. The haunting imagery draws you into strange yet familiar dreamworlds."

"Fae’s art is dark and delightful, imbuing each piece with its own aura. Mystical scenes and beings are inspired by myth, folklore, and fantasy; the haunting imagery is stunning."

Fae has exhibited at galleries across SL, including Wash Street, gallery 4, Pyramid Gallery, Dark Draconis Gallery, Gallery Arctica, Rose Gallery, gallery 23, Future Vision Art Gallery, Galeria Mexico, Cuauhnahuac Gallery, torno Kohime Foundation, Alpha Asteri, Pirats Art Network, Ce Soir and the Mysterious Wave sim.
