This is the last weekend of the World Goth Fair and I take the chance to present a couple of items and outfits I fell in love with.

Jessica Ruby Dress incl. gloves and hat by FOSCA de LE, Pose EY - Too Much Cheek by Something New
Gothic Gazebo +  Amber Lamp Gold by 22769 ~ [bauwerk] 
Not from WGF: Off Sim Reef

I like this fair because I love the dramatic effects you can create with goth styling.

Scatterheart is wearing: Alaric Stand Collar Jacket by DarkPassions,
not from WGF: Mens Chinos v2 by BRAVURA, RayRay Boots by Hoorenbeek, Voyageur hat by LODE
I am wearing: Alvira Frock by Dark Passions, Lace Glimpse Pants by Greymoon, Mellies Vintage Boot by DemotiK's Footwear, Apparel & Accessories, Royal Voodoo Hat by Sax Sheperd Designs, Antique Glasses by Eclectica, Hair Astarte + Iron Cross Necklace by LNS Designs, Skin Celine - Exclusive Purple by Jalwa
Deco: Chtuluh Armchair Black Leather Brocade + The Nevermore Black/Gold by 22769 ~ [bauwerk],
Arch of Saint Eustace - V3 by Rook Poses

I know that many avatars write in their profile that they avoid drama in Second Life. I think that is neither possible nor good. I found this on the webpage of an actors academy:  "Drama is one of the most important assets to learn in our lives. Through Drama we learn to explore the way other people think, feel and communicate, helping us understand others and ourselves on a higher level."

Perenelle necklace by Eclectica, Forgotten Melody Haunted Piano + Nevermore Fantasy Raven by Angelic Designs
Not from WGF: Hair Drewleigh by Damselfly

Avoiding drama therefore means a lack of interest in others. And people who "play" with other avatars and use them for their goals without concerning about their feelings are those which really should be avoided!

The World Goth Fair does not offer only morbid items. Isn't that Neko outfit with roses cute?
The Event is open until tomorrow, June 1st.

Farewell to Luciella Lutrova and Nepherses Amat

It is part of our second life that we have to say goodbye to avatars who gave joy to others by their creativity. Today I got the message that the painter from Argentina, known in Second Life as Luciella Lutrova passed away. She was not only known as painter, she created interior and jewelry and used to run a gallery. She will be missed.

In Luciella's gallery

Her works are to be seen in these galleries:
L'Atelier de Luciella: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hua%20Hin/233/11/1709

EAST Gallery: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Georgiana/204/206/48


I use this chance to remind too of Nepherses Amat, who created beautiful and inspiring places at her sim Dark Moon and passed away about a month. For the second last build "Dark Moon India" she created the Indian palace which has been loved by many at Shekhawati before the sim has been sold and changed completely. Thank you Neph for your generosity!

Nepherses' palace at Shekhawati - sadly gone

Her12th and last build "Dark Moon Avalon" has a wonderful landscape. I blogged it here. I have no clue how long it will stay, so you better should visit the place soon.

Goodbye to two wonderful ladies!

5 Years Berlin1920!

When I was young in Second Life and where restlessly on exploration tour fast I discovered the Berlin1920 project, which was in a skybox at that time if I remember right. I saw many rebuilds of historical and contemporary places since then and most of them vanished after a while, but not Berlin1920. The community grew to 4 sims and although I am not a big role player I appreciate the learning process which made me better understand how many parallels are to find between that time and nowadays: The unsafe economic situation, the growing difference between rich and poor and the growing strength of political radicalism as a result of this social imbalance as we could see with the election results in Europe. Germany as one of the richest countries worldwide today is at a point where 25% of the population not even can afford healthy nutrition. How long will it take until the first will start to starve here and nobody cares?

The new Babylon cinema, finished RL in 1929 and still running

I like the community which is aware of that but also of the fast that Berlin in the 1920s was the wildest, hottest and most sinful and attractive town  worldwide. If people know how to party, it is them. The growing success of Berlin1920s is mostly due to the restless efforts of Jo Yardley, who was able from the beginning a real 1920s feeling by choosing structures and design from that era and to urge  all role players and visitors to change to a realistic 1920s appearance.

Some people do not like to be forced to wear something special, usually arguing that the wide range of possible avatars is part of the amazing experience in Second Life. True! But who says that the fun is most when everything is everywhere possible? Since latest research gave us hints that the avatar influences our behavior it is another dimension of perception when we slip into another role for a while. This "immersion" is the real amazing experience! And exactly that is the reason why this RP sim has an ongoing, still growing success.

We are Berlin residents. Come and have a look into our small apartment under the roof in Friedrichstrasse 7 D
Read my post here!

If you are still not convinced, come today or next Monday for a visit with relaxed rules. Come as you are!

Gallery Hopping

It is a while ago that I posted the last Gallery Hopping and in the meantime opened many interesting installations. I choose a couple of them:

Every Picture Tells a Song
 

The images of Cold Frog are touching

Kake Broek and Cold Frog have a large group of admirers and followers at their Flickr streams and I am one of them. Kake a re loved for the photos of his strange avatar which are dedicated to caricatures of various, often very political themes and Cold is known for her surrealistic and funny works. But don't expect to see the same in this exhibition. A good gallerist is able to inspire artists for something new. Their images are themed by songs. While Cold has chosen songs from different artists and surprises with her dark and sad sides, Kake has chosen songs of Syd Barrett, one of the early members of the Band Pink Floyd. He is seen as one of the pioneers of Psychedelic Rock, but had to to leave the band due to mental and drug issues. The song text and links to the youtube songs are to be found at floating sheets in front of the works. This show is a must see and you should take the time to try the links to the related songs.

Cold on her Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34641906@N08/
Kake on his Flickr:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/13539895@N06/

Open through May and June.

The Tidings of Magpies

The images of Talullah Winterwolf are not something that one would hang over the sofa, they are beautiful, deep and fascinating but also disturbing and strange.

 A Dream, the wings to fly

Artist London Junckers had the inspiration for this piece from the history of aviation starting with the dream to fly.  It is play- and beautiful.

The Absense of Colours

...is an installation by Ranadeep an Milly Sharple which shows a nice collection of monochrome works. The nice presentation could not avoid that I became confused after a while what I have already seen and which was new. I think a bit more different works would have helped to make the installation more surprising and interesting. But definitely recommended!

Themes

Melusina Parkin created a couple of spaces which ate covering different themes, but all in her unique simplified style. Great as always!

Three Openings Today!

That will be a busy evening for art lovers. 3 openings at the same time!

Nessuno Myoo: No Signal

Nessuno made it again to build a beautiful intriguing piece which contains a puzzle. From the invitation:

It's a very special work, with inside a small mystery to unravel.
Find all clues and ventured into the solution of the enigma,  
thanks to which will be revealed to you one of the singular key 
to the interpretation of the work.

Opening today at 2 PM SLT, Open until June 14th.

Louly Loon: PopArt Experience

A wonderful playful work that reminded of a walk through in fun fairs. I enjoyed a lot the time travel back to Pop Art.

Opening today Thursday, May 22th 2014, at 2.00 PM SLT

Taxi: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Crystal%20Cave/185/207/4000


Wan Laryukov: Dust from the Stars

The seemingly Portuguese artist made an installation on an own poem which can be found in English too. The work itself consists of scattered pieces with lights effects which I neither found technically well built, nor made it sense to me. Quote from the end of the poem:

And I was alone - A living nonsense
A poet, a jarring paradox
A blow in the face of your tolerance
Because I am the never ending contradiction
While telling you about me

I agree and I am not impressed. But it will be full today. Ultraviolet Alter will play for the opening tonight!

Opening today at 2 PM SLT, Concert at 2,30 PM SLT!

Cyber Orthodox Under Water

Artist statement:

Past few days my country is affected by Biblical size floods that were never recorded in our history. Tens of thousands people is evacuated from their homes and thousands of homes is under water. As you can understand, human lifes are most valuable to save but uncounted number of animals lost their lifes. This morning I have wake up with news that more then 100 tons of dead animals is gathered just from one city. And it is not over yet...

In this light, for solidarity, I have decided to flood my new ongoing work “Cyber Orthodox”  in LEA 6. I left peaks of work above, same as rooftops of houses are above in this floods.

CYBER ORTHODOX

Axi Mundi, Forest of Scissors, Metamorphoses, to name just a few...the name of Igor Ballyhoo stands for many virtual artworks which can be already called classics. When he decided to leave Second Live in 2011 and to delete his account most of these works are gone forever since he never sold art and just a handful pieces pieces remained in the hand of friends. The large exhibitions at UTSA artspace disappeared with the sim.

Luckily friends convinced him to come back with a new avatar and privately he created pieces which grown to a series over the time. Thanks to JayJay Zifanwe, the curator of the LEA Full Sim Art Series, Igor is exhibiting for the first time almost 3 years later (The only exception was a beautiful musicbox that he created for the "Musicbox for Children" auction at Art India Gallery in Dec. 2012).

Titan

Landing at LEA 6 the visitor immediately recognizes his typical style, impressive structures with a martial effect at first glance which expose their sensuality and vulnerability on closer look.

 orthodox DNA

Igor was so nice to give me a guided tour. The first work at the landing spot "regular process of splitting things" is giving the guideline to the installation. Igor: "I am trying to satirically address to everyone who think their word is only true." The satire starts with the word Orthodox, which of course is the name of the large Christian church but literally translated from Greek orthos (right, true, straight) + doxa (opinion or belief) is adherence to accepted norms. Igor is playing with Orthodox iconography, because "just the name "orthodox" is imposing their way of thinking, you don't find that in other religions names." Igor and I agreed that other religions as Christianity, Islam and Judaism claim the same right on the only truth in opposite to Buddhism and other Eastern religions. Igor: "Orthodoxy is dangerous mutation when it comes to imposing your way of thinking because it is practically aggressive and dismissive in one word." The result is that people try to match the ideals with lifestyle, fashion, plastic surgery or even GMO. On my comment that perfectionism can become boring Igor answered: "Perfection will never become boring because fashion changes." The vision of all the "masks" in Hollywood changed by even more surgery maybe made me shuddering.

Icarus

Igor about Icarus: "I was a child when father told me story and I was extremely impressed how strong attraction to beauty is to die in effort to reach it as he aimed to the sun."

Hypercross of All Seeing Eye

"This is the hypercross. In certain moments this cubes form a perfect same sided cross in space.
This work is my reach for 4th dimension, dimension of time so that is why it is perfect just for one short moment." It is the first of a couple of pieces which are using Orthodox symbolism and patterns to deal with the idea of perfection in several ways and dimensions.

I especially like the dripping Orthodox images, which look as if the idea of a "true belief" is getting lost. Igor has been inspired to this work in an small Orthodox church during the ceremony on an insanely hot day which brought the candles to melting.

Igor about the apple: "Scientists for decades already modify gene of different species of plants to be resistant to this and that and the apple is of course symbol of our fall from heaven. So my question is: What if we have now is heaven and corporation push us to try the GMO apple?... Visual perfection sells. When I go to the store nowadays I look at fruit and every single apple looks the same. They are all looking like apple from Snowhite. Cartoon good! Everything starts to taste like water."

Valkyrie Cross

The "Valkyrie Cross" is not directly added to the installation as stand alone. But I see the conclusion of the builds in these flying horses in flames which might help to get "out of the box" of restrictions by Orthodoxy. And if they are there to pick up the fallen heros of the fight against monotony of perfectionism and conformism I am glad too.

CYBER ORTHODOX is open through May.
