Second Life and Virtual Worlds
A new Flufee video is out today. Draxtor describes it:
I [Drax] visited “The Arrival” by Rose Borchovski a few days ago & I have to say: immersive art (or whatever we should call a digital-installation-interactive-performance-3D-persistent-sculpture-space-what-

Several blogs have covered the art of Whiskey Monday. See the following articles for information on who Whiskey Monday is and some of her art.
Obviously I like Whiskey’s art. You can see it on her web: WhiskeyMonday.com, and Flickr.
The notable change is Whiskey is now selling RL prints, giclee, of her Second Life™ art. Giclee is a high end printing process used for fine art. It is expensive, but it lasts. When one cannot afford original art, a giclee is the next best thing.
You can find the art for sale at Fine Art America. Getting the source for giclee printing is a bit of work. So, not all of Whiskey’s art is on Fine Art America. If you find something on Flickr, you can ask that it be uploaded.
Good luck Whiskey.
With a title like that, who can’t go check it out?
Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) has drawn lots of drama lately. Regardless this exhibit is fun enough to be worth the time.
It is a bit of a hunt crossed with a maze. If you like easy puzzles this will be to your liking. Finding your way to the next level can be trick.
You can find the gallery in world at: AviewTV Machinima Gallery. The following is a press release I received.
AviewTV, the one-stop machinima resource of Second Life, is opening its brand new renovated gallery this week, featuring eight unique films from some of SL’s most dynamic creators, a new focus on machinima career options, more hands-on project development, film festival networking and an awareness mission to relate the importance of new media to virtual worlds in the fields of arts preservation and mainstream media accessibility.
According to AviewTV CEO LaPiscean Liberty, ‘Machinima in virtual worlds, has had an impact on the cost of production and processing. Its relationship to virtual worlds is one of archiving delicate or lost art, due to an ever changing canvas. This has also lead to one of SL’s greatest marketing tools as a platform and for the community to engage within mainstream media. The goal is to promote the Artist and the Art’.
Dream Promenade posted a call for pose and animation creators to participate in a new exhibit titled Intimate Spaces. The Dream Promenade is seeking to explore the sensual side of art in SL. This exhibit is one of the Linden Endowments of the Arts’ new initiatives.
No date for the exhibit start is given. It seems to be a short fuse. So, if you are interested, no waiting, connect the Dream Promenade’s management now.
