Mashup Islander, or Christopher Dodds in real life, unveils connections between literature and real-time 3D art through his virtual moiré sculptures. His exhibit opened recently among a sea of enthusiastic visitors who immediately began exploring the interactive pieces. You may experience the work yourself on Info Island until November 15th, 2007.
Many thanks to Daruma Picnic, Elizabeth Rookwood, and Rookie Voyager for showing me around!Organized in collaboration with artist Adam Ramona, Cantata Park is a real-time audio exhibit based on a concept developed in the essay "The Electronic Revolution" by Willaim S. Burroughs. The poet "believed that language contained a virus, which could be exposed, even enhanced by cutting up (rearranging) narrative", explains Islander. Each pillar in the Cantata Park contains a word from this essay. As an avatar passes through, those words are spoken and a new narrative emerges.
This show is a definite must-see and is curated by the hands of the loving librarians from Info Island. This sim is part of the "library archipelago" started in 2006 by the Alliance Library System of Illinois. It is now a hub of cultural and artistic expression. For those interested, I highly recommend joining the "artsllib" group to stay in touch with their events.
1. I LOVE pillars! Great done - worth a visit!!!
Its something ”in it” that makes my hearth speed up!
My own Art Performances/Happenings in SL have among many other ”forms” included pillars.. here (links down) you can see 298 ones that all vanished from day one to day 30 in the last yaers Burning Life exhibition.
BTW 2 pillars disapered first day and have never been found in SL.. but rumors are that they have been seen around as flying dutchmen.. seen not sen seen not seen..... one or two have made pics of them.. I am told... can someone give me a tip?,,, I want to find them..
