During his teenage years in the eighties, while playing in noisy bands, he started publishing experimental tracks through the international tape-trader scene. Despite some detours into other fields of performing arts (mainly painting) his main focus has stayed on audio-art. His latest works were contributions for Das kleine Fieldrecording Festival in Regensburg and Berlin, Ljudrum in Eskilstuuna/Sweden and several Placards, mainly under the name Transponderfish. With his avatar Bingo Onomatopoeia he researches the creative potential of the virtual reality in Second Life: by networking, collaborating with other artists, building instruments for the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse and by performing with these. </p><p></p>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116342234325806818.post-83367162424621360772009-01-31T03:07:00.001-08:002009-01-31T04:16:42.062-08:00Cienega Soon<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIgiG3o_WVafQE2YTQd52MnYJbnheBjdiQUcdps83zh1CNEG6Kb6z8zXNEqOvz8sg_EUESR0d_hr7VIMCsAMXqW3BQp9OzcNyztPqeqFpDv_-6GIQZGyaDvOeCNj1Mp_OUEHHTGYvB4Tg/s1600-h/11.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297416515141045506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIgiG3o_WVafQE2YTQd52MnYJbnheBjdiQUcdps83zh1CNEG6Kb6z8zXNEqOvz8sg_EUESR0d_hr7VIMCsAMXqW3BQp9OzcNyztPqeqFpDv_-6GIQZGyaDvOeCNj1Mp_OUEHHTGYvB4Tg/s320/11.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcdqnp59vZQpSvn2KN7XQzuKDIm8ib5eKUh_kN9h1CuI1o5PtOUAdAqHoVsrYiz_IhOFd9hxz5Lom__6HEkmqTYS9ZCe8DiFBTm7KF67b2Qu1IyQZKAFJz2pqCy4203NwC73O-HRorzHY/s1600-h/11.1+cienega.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297413207503568578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcdqnp59vZQpSvn2KN7XQzuKDIm8ib5eKUh_kN9h1CuI1o5PtOUAdAqHoVsrYiz_IhOFd9hxz5Lom__6HEkmqTYS9ZCe8DiFBTm7KF67b2Qu1IyQZKAFJz2pqCy4203NwC73O-HRorzHY/s320/11.1+cienega.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpedMR9aObC5SPI9dv6pFnEk6vS9qUuuIYU9UDXp3cM2eGhHYtY-ufHZ05hiDlzCyZSNQJVnMObdxu6Awwz3E51L47OUcD9NRzoC5Ph-igiv4rlOP-oA8tRre9Qow0TVbmWcPjtsiaX2A/s1600-h/11.2+cienega.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297413040925274050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 275px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpedMR9aObC5SPI9dv6pFnEk6vS9qUuuIYU9UDXp3cM2eGhHYtY-ufHZ05hiDlzCyZSNQJVnMObdxu6Awwz3E51L47OUcD9NRzoC5Ph-igiv4rlOP-oA8tRre9Qow0TVbmWcPjtsiaX2A/s320/11.2+cienega.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><strong>uqbar. media art culture e Rinascimento Virtuale<br /></strong></div><br /><div>Vi invitano all'apertura di /Invite you at the Opening of<br /></div><br /><div><strong>Cienega Soon</strong></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Saturday, January 31 - Monday, February 02, 2009</div><br /><div>(10 PM CET - 01 PM SLT)<br /><br />ARENA EX.IT slurl: (<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Experience%20Italy%20NW/93/71/67">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Experience%20Italy%20NW/93/71/67</a>)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>BIO</strong>:</div><div></div><div>Cienega Soon arrived in Second Life® 12/2/2006. logs in from southern California USA</div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.cienegasoon.com/">http://www.cienegasoon.com/</a></div><div><br />Cienega’s RL artwork runs through many mediums; Oil and acrylics, sculpting with metal and wood on a large scale.

Per arrivare qui ho intrapreso un percorso iniziato molti anni fa. Essenzialmente sono stato sempre appassionato della rete internet sin da quando i modem erano 33.6 Kb/s e già da allora sono stato attratto dalle sue potenzialità. Con l’arrivo di ISDN (64/128 Kb/s) ho cominciato a militare nelle prime comunità internet di Net Gamer (eravamo veramente pochi) come Quake 2, Quake3, ecc. giocando a lungo ho cominciato a produrre le prime mappe 3D con le quali poi i rete avremmo giocato. Arriva ADSL, cambia ancora internet, e nel 2006, casualmente navigando in rete, mi sono imbattuto nel sito di Second Life. Inizialmente ero un po’ scettico, leggendo ciò che era scritto nel sito della Linden Labs credevo che SL fosse una semplice chat 3D. Dopo aver installato per la prima volta il client mi sono reso conto che non era come erroneamente avevo pensato, accorgendomi di quelle potenzialità che se non provi non puoi immaginare. La cosa che mi ha attratto di più ovviamente è stata la possibilità di dare una forma alle propria creatività (nel mio caso di Builder), e per questi motivi dopo anni sono ancora qui che continuo il mio viaggio all’interno di questa piattaforma multimediale con tantissime risorse ed in continua evoluzione. Dal 2006 ho partecipato a diversi stadi a molte attività di SL, ho iniziato il mio primo lavoro di Building proprio aprendo un piccolo negozio con le mie prime creazioni (per lo più quadri con delle foto, piccole fontane, case), passando poi alla costruzione di un’intera Isola, partecipando a progetti diversi più o meno grandi. Oggi dopo tantissimo “Build” ho affinato le mie capacità, cominciando ad essere non più “solo” Builder ma anche Developer, creando ambientazioni sempre più “realistiche” con procedure differenti e sempre più complesse, ottenendo dei risultati di grande soddisfazione. Credo infine che SL, data la sua natura di continua evoluzione, abbia ancora molto da dire e spero che questo progetto si sviluppi sino a rimpiazzare l’attuale WEB 2D. So che la strada è ancora lunga ma già tanta ne è stata fatta, e penso che l’importante sia esserci. </em><br /><em>Saluti e buon SL a tutti.</em>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116342234325806818.post-25225072989075690182009-01-28T08:51:00.000-08:002009-01-28T10:25:10.321-08:00Stephen Beveridge aka Sowa Mai<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOSGdLrKo6LM-KBdv_2diam__7Ma1gTJGSa3FRFTcE_kS5afR8y0cZQW2ZlM0oB00JguActBIyg9-XnZfGbZ7Rjvqpu0hq_svQKW2l0FRxfj79h7VExCpxrJyxYGEOJPkRC6CA6ygYJU/s1600-h/45.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296389714923409234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOSGdLrKo6LM-KBdv_2diam__7Ma1gTJGSa3FRFTcE_kS5afR8y0cZQW2ZlM0oB00JguActBIyg9-XnZfGbZ7Rjvqpu0hq_svQKW2l0FRxfj79h7VExCpxrJyxYGEOJPkRC6CA6ygYJU/s320/45.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7yWRoLClDZQam0XF5kO_BJsgCOuomj4XeVjKO8yOMmjzG_rg8AnQSfUTHYVzt4C8C3BmWallTueNjB0gqotbd2o8elJYol45zV33nNP2jsSlyda2Ve10-9nbw9hYioN9m-0Af5PPSJ0/s1600-h/45.2.jpeg.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296389595217436690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 174px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7yWRoLClDZQam0XF5kO_BJsgCOuomj4XeVjKO8yOMmjzG_rg8AnQSfUTHYVzt4C8C3BmWallTueNjB0gqotbd2o8elJYol45zV33nNP2jsSlyda2Ve10-9nbw9hYioN9m-0Af5PPSJ0/s320/45.2.jpeg.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc6r1kiJjP0I46TXtL0dAIL1ySbtoH74uhqRhnknKXgrww50d0RErvH56YwnoQmuzb3F3vZW3cQS1m3WzSoxc0JdPix7Z_xiRJQpGU5iw55GEFkFzJk4PDn7RuWsMpCwPoaxFEgXe5Rs0/s1600-h/45.1.jpeg.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296389479232759554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 155px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc6r1kiJjP0I46TXtL0dAIL1ySbtoH74uhqRhnknKXgrww50d0RErvH56YwnoQmuzb3F3vZW3cQS1m3WzSoxc0JdPix7Z_xiRJQpGU5iw55GEFkFzJk4PDn7RuWsMpCwPoaxFEgXe5Rs0/s320/45.1.jpeg.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br><br /><br /><br /><strong>uqbar. media art culture e Rinascimento Virtuale</strong><br />Vi invitano alla performance di /Invite you at the performance of<br /><br /><strong>Stephen Beveridge aka Sowa Mai</strong><br /><br />Wednesday, January 28 - Friday, January 30, 2009<br />(11 PM CET - 02 PM SLT)<br /><br />ARENA MdM slurl (<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722</a>)<br /><br /><br /><strong># No Man Is An Island</strong><br /><br /><br />Aequitas is a non-profit multinational conglomerate of dada intellectuals involved with the exploration of biological impulses and their effect on modern psyche through the medium of anti-conceptual physics and minor abstractions.<br /><br />The intent is not to make a clear statement, but to overwork and overwhelm with endless details and muddled effects thereby confusing the viewer in to believing they are witnessing something beyond their grasp and therefore true, fine art.<br /><br />-- <strong>Banrion Constantine and Sowa Mai</strong><br /><br /><br />No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

Now his life is drawing to a close. Before he dies, all that he has experienced during the whole time of his sojourn condenses in his mind into one question, which he has never put to the doorkeeper.… “Everyone strives to attain the Law,…how does it come about, then, that in all these years no one has come seeking admittance but me?” The doorkeeper perceives that the man is nearing his end and his hearing is failing, so he bellows in his ear: “No one but you could gain admittance through this door, since this door was intended for you.

It's a history of compression, of textures, of objects, of mistakes, of failures, of errors, of misery, of language/sex/body, of avatar sheave-skin. It what happens when an insomniac gets hold of a virtual world.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Architecture for a new year</strong>:</div><div> </div><div>- shapes matter less than the comfort that coheres within them. </div><div>- outside assume vagaries and opposition. </div><div>- architectures as transitional objects. </div><div>- living within the teddy-bear. </div><div>- in the Second Life installation: dynamic micro-architectures of </div><div>- deconstruction and enclosure.</div><div>- no entrances, no exits: one appears, disappears.</div><div>- what constitutes coming and going are virtual particles = people. </div><div>- virtual to the extent that one passes through doors and walls: one passes through flats, nodes, and textures. nothing is comfortable when the transitional turns on you.</div><div>- Second Life = transitional object = preparation for virtual life.</div><div>- real life = virtual life; body = inscription; wryting = body; - uncanny = inscription; world = word; word = idiotic. </div><div>- micro-architectures of the visible: setting up the camera image just so: harboring time of day, weather, height, distance from avatar or avatar viewpoint, location beneath the ground or water surface or clothing, location in collusion with sheave-skin, moment of capture = arrangement of objects in flight.</div><div>- micro-architectures within objects in flight: buildings escaped from occupants, homes escaped from families, dwellings escaped from inhabitants, bodies escaped from inscription.</div><div>- bodies escaped from inscription: debris of the body, abjection.</div><div>- abjection in micro-architecture: no place to sit, no place to lie: an avatar <br />never lies. no place to sleep: an avatar never sleeps; no place to declare: an avatar tells the truth.</div><div>- coordinates, program, language, protocol, code, alphanumerics,binary oppositions: the truth of anything unforsaken in the saying of it.- micro-architectures: between code and architecture.<br /> </div><div><br /><strong>For Arena installation in Second Life</strong>:</div><div> </div><div>1. Dropping those objects which have been taken - piled, flight: every- thing flees, there's always clear space.<br />2. Physical objects: non-phantom, but dropped, held in position, but whatever for?<br />3. Something tawdry, indigestible.<br />4. Flight to such a degree that they soon tunnel out of site (for most settings), head out of world - the site has to be _tended,_ constantly refurbished. Tended = a tendency to _disappear._</div><div>5. To work on _inpenetrable_ sound.</div><div>6. To work on transparent non-phantom objects: another position.</div><div>7. Intensities as things meld into one another - in the form of a debris field.</div><div>8. Debris field = Gaza-slaughter. (title?)</div><div>9. Particulation of objects.</div><div>10. Object rings with internal physical objects can't get out.</div><div>11. None of the above.</div><div>12. Try and reach 4098m with pile. (Got to 2327.)<br /><br /><strong>How to view here and in the Odyssey show</strong></div><div><strong></strong><br /><strong>suggestions</strong></div><div> </div><div>1. Try turning the glow off. Go to preferences, graphics, and uncheck basic shading, if it's on. Basic shading seems to use up more resources than anything else with the rendering engine. You can also set things like rendering distance; the lower the distance, the faster the loading.</div><div> </div><div>2. Turn the video media button off. This on the lower right-hand corner of the screen. If you turn it on, the texture-mapping consumes a huge amount of resources. On the other hand, the audio for the parcel (the audio button) runs fairly lean.</div><div> </div><div>3. If you find the space too cluttered to enter, try flying in. </div><div> </div><div>4. If you find flying in too cluttered, fly higher, and drop in. There is a dome in the center of the space which you can enter.</div><div> </div><div>5. Most objects on the ground level (and some beneath the ground, on the seafloor) will flee from you - what looks crowded from a distance might well clear out.</div><div> </div><div>6. If it clears out, look up - you'll see all sorts of things above you.</div><div> </div><div>7. Fly vertically to see the rest of the exhibition. If you can't fly as high as you want, click control-alt-d, which opens up an advanced menu. Open the menu and get rid of camera constraints. You can then move the camera at a great distance from your avatar body - your viewpoint moves independently, and you can move at least to the top of the exhibition, which is maybe a mile or so up, SL measurement. </div><div> </div><div>8. If you get stuck anywhere, teleport back in.</div><div> </div><div>9. Try moving inside the objects; the interior textures are often different from the exterior ones (this is almost always the case with the spheres).</div><div> </div><div>10. You can push objects vertically into the sky by moving beneath them and flying; they flee upwards.</div><div> </div><div>11. You can see the exhibition 'differently' by using the advanced menu, going to render, and then looking for info - clicking on any one of the info options will give you different viewpoints. </div><div> </div><div>12. You can often sit on moving objects, which will whirl you around; if you sit on an object that moves vertically as a result of your proximity, you can ride it up. When you stand up again, you can fall down back into the space. The riding height seems to be around 4098 SL units, but unless you have a flight bracelet or feather, you probably won't go that high.<br />(Gaz can go anywhere.)</div><div> </div><div>13. Moving about on the ground level, keep the sound turned on (lower right), and you'll hear a variety of songs about SL and language. These mix with a number of looping sound modules embedded in the space.</div><div> </div><div>14. Go to <a href="http://www.kippiefriedkin.com/resources/secondlife-viewer-cheatsheet.pdf">http://www.kippiefriedkin.com/resources/secondlife-viewer-cheatsheet.pdf</a>for shortcuts for all sorts of rendering possibilities; most of these are also available in the menu or advanced menu.</div><div> </div><div>15. If you've been moving around SL a lot, go to preferences, and empty your cache; this might speed things up. You'll have to restart SL again. </div><div> </div><div>16. If you see a sign for teleporting, try it. Sometimes it will lead back to the ground level, sometimes to the seabed, sometimes to a skysphere. All of these locations have clickable objects which will take you else- where (or back to the same space but at a slightly different location). You might have to right-click on the object, then click on teleport - or you might just left click - it depends on the object.</div><div> </div><div>17, Try different 'lenses' - click on control-8 to make the image wide- angle, control-9 to return to normal, control-0 for telephoto. Repeated clicks work as well - with control-8 you can create extreme distortions.</div><div> </div><div>18, Try moving into 'small' spaces and look about. You can save snapshots of anything you see, on your hard drive.</div><div> </div><div>19. That's about it. The general idea is to run lean, fly about, teleport back if you're stuck, play with the controls. The architecture is constantly changing and deconstructing itself – play.original exhibition </div><div><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/48/12/22">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/48/12/22</a></div><div> </div><div><br /> </div><div></div></div>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116342234325806818.post-82349223538306918962009-01-19T10:10:00.000-08:002009-01-19T10:57:21.890-08:00Cheen Pitney<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinT_8yjtjo1purgyyUWCavNzH0oQsFdIBj8Kgjteuk5bo3qJbz7Hvtd3ZUjRL2Dr6FM4Lgo31AcSkBUE_YcvYPR2YL8prY2edoB7-PpTlCFhV7gN9JK-4RV4it8CgXzQGerexwd77CZ8/s1600-h/9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293069192359378882" style="DISPLAY: block;

The name DanCoyote is derived from Cervantes’ Don Quixote and in honor of a coyote that Joseph Beuys lived with for a time at the René Block Gallery in New York during his 1974 action, “I like America and America Likes Me”.<br /><br />DanCoyote’s costume is intended to be simple and low bandwidth, placing the emphasis on work outside of the avatar. Each detail of DanCoyote’s garb, however, has significance. Yellow and black are high visibility colors and also the official colors of the City of San Francisco. The gold bands on his arms and legs symbolize a release from the bonds of gravity and physicality. The wand in the left hand is called a “caduceus”, which refers to the transformational nature of the Greek god Hermes. Caduceus .03 is also a one of a kind virtual tool, custom programmed to project commands to metamorphosize objects and installations from a distance.<br /><br />DC Spensley<br /><br />An alumni of the San Francisco Art Institute, DC Spensley has lived and worked in Northern California since 1986. Spensley wears the hat of writer, director, cinematographer, composer, performance artist and most recently has appeared as the avatar DanCoyote Antonelli in the virtual reality simulation of Second Life. While most people jealously guard their pseudonymity inside this alternate reality, Spensley attempts parity in both worlds and has exhibited internationally at the ZeroOne/ISEA conference in 2006, the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival 2006 and Ars Electronica 2007. <br /><br />About the work on exhibition at ARENA:<br /><br />I call this grouping "<strong>Recent Retrospective</strong>" because it contains art from different bodies of my work done in the last three years as an artist in residence in the virtual world.<br /><br />Most prominent is the nearly kilometer tall assembly entitled "Drawing". Drawing is neither a drawing or a sculpture, but is rather a conceptual tongue and cheek reference to both kinds of artifact that ironically cannot exist in simulated space. Drawing informs viewers about scale in the virtual world in a way unlike most constructions found in SL by negating the figurative context and pointing out the "avatar powers" of a viewer. This encourages a viewer to become more aware of their configuration options and invites the viewer realize a new level of proficiency in experiencing simulated space. The mute monoliths animate glacially, too slow for the eye to perceive and foreground a sense of the volume of space displaced by the work. Viewers take a chair conveyance available at the "Drawing" sign which carries them up to a vantage point high about the sim.<br /><br />Also on display:<br /><br />"Pixel Board", a binary feedback social sculpture. Viewers click squares on the smaller panel and this input appears as output on the larger display, which is then visible from a great distance. Pixel Board explores the social urge to leave graffiti, but in a one-bit, black and white icon format.<br /><br />"Mutant Hossies". These three weird quasi-horse artworks are remediations of a classic sculptural form and displayed like bronze statues on marble platforms. They are a "mashup", or reworking of an original horse sculpture give away free by Second Life artist Nomasha Syaks. Mutant Hossies have embedded scripting that causes subtle animations to play that support the fanciful variation of horse depicted.<br /><br />"Tomb Maze" Tomb Maze uses embedded reflexive scripting to create a tomb-like maze that people are encouraged to navigate their avatar through. The maze is possible. It does take some patience, so there is always the chance an impatient avatar might become trapped and need to find other means of escape!<br /><br />"Very Silly Militude" is not what it seems. Very Silly Militude characterizes the quality of verissimilitude superficially. But when set to midnight, a viewer walking through will see light cast in unusual ways. The exterior layer of the work is a deliberate misdirection and while it appears to be about the movement of heavy objects in space, it is really about the way light is occluded by them.<br /><br />Thanks for viewing!<br /><br />David "DC" Spensley is DanCoyote in SL<br /><br />About the Sixth Finger...<br /><br />The sixth finger symbolizes the computer cursor, or mankind's intervention into the metaverse (VR). The black hand itself attempts to make the connection between pre-historic artists who painted their own handprint on the walls of caves over 16,000 years ago and the similar efforts of artists today in the virtual world.<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116342234325806818.post-25179016256286072142009-01-13T05:25:00.000-08:002009-01-13T12:41:30.888-08:00DB Bailey<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290769358310463122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglB_d3fuXNu26IhE51oHwbqAMRyvjRTAqzWKZi1t5WhifUPa-40bkw3u6Qt8HhAuJu0eJqMF8qBISo22sZAY1SCTfhHDfufVjxClQIuOTy-Kq5Egjfp6mUHZ_1Tf4ty0rMsyyQtzb1hvA/s320/14.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfW2krzg-AFY9R-4hRGTR6mtXppLqoIxC5iZD1zfaWOutcdLnlLg8aSuoRDEMCAHGBynEnNE5nVXc96m7Pbah4I2k25o8rP4nXJjc0j5E0MWVEmOJrcEZ23h17PjVGxJy1zMZiQYS_XC0/s1600-h/14.2+db.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290769674089695522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfW2krzg-AFY9R-4hRGTR6mtXppLqoIxC5iZD1zfaWOutcdLnlLg8aSuoRDEMCAHGBynEnNE5nVXc96m7Pbah4I2k25o8rP4nXJjc0j5E0MWVEmOJrcEZ23h17PjVGxJy1zMZiQYS_XC0/s320/14.2+db.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDtq-7uK3uqrBlJPEAJdiI4B-oySpo-KyLhvrLXA_te65DtOihYrv13dKhqyAPh7u8yvERqhg5CwHYtv4A6xqh3eDfBM5gIpRiPqPWid7oRZXxWpWkA-Lb0cLTtSy3mRwb3uHXKmzIsQ/s1600-h/14.1db.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290769457142538370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDtq-7uK3uqrBlJPEAJdiI4B-oySpo-KyLhvrLXA_te65DtOihYrv13dKhqyAPh7u8yvERqhg5CwHYtv4A6xqh3eDfBM5gIpRiPqPWid7oRZXxWpWkA-Lb0cLTtSy3mRwb3uHXKmzIsQ/s320/14.1db.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>uqbar. media art culture e Rinascimento Virtuale</strong></div><div>Vi invitano alla performance di /Invite you at the performance of</div><div></div><div><strong>DB Bailey /David Denton - </strong><strong>PAPAL APARTMENT</strong></div><div></div><div>Tuesday, January <strong>13</strong> - Thursday, January <strong>15</strong>. 2009</div><div>(10 PM CET - 01 PM SLT)</div><div></div><div>ARENA MdM slurl (<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722</a>)<br /></div><div><strong>BIO</strong></div><div>DB Bailey in Second Life is David Denton, architect in real life.

Nel 1976 Bruno Munari pubblica nel suo libro La scoperta del quadrato (Zanichelli) alcune opere di Grimani della serie “partite di scacchi”. Dal 1977 intraprende un lungo itinerario di ricerca sul rapporto tra parola e immagine lavorando sulla interpretazione semiotica del testo poetico. Dal 1981 inizia i “Natali”, una ermeneutica visiva del rapporto tra natura, uomo e divinità. Sono versi di Ungaretti, T.S. Eliot, Borís Pasternàk, Luis de Góngora, G. Apollinaire, R.M. Rilke. Nel 1985 lavora sul romanzo di Italo Calvino Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore realizzando dieci tele esposte in un primo tempo alla Villa Reale di Monza, poi al Palazzo dei Diamanti a Ferrara. Allarga inoltre la sua ricerca ai rapporti tra musica e immagine per approdare al segno-gesto ispirato in particolare alla danza e alla filosofia Zen. Nello spirito di quest’ultima presenta all’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Lisbona nel 1990 una mostra dal titolo “Il vuoto meraviglioso”. Nel 1993 è al Salone dell’aeronautica di Parigi con i suoi quadri ispirati alla visione della terra dalla luna, e l’anno successivo è al Museo dell’Aeronautica Caproni di Trento con una mostra dal titolo “Mappaluna 3x3”. Sempre nel 1994 espone il suo “Giardino dei segni” al Festival Oriente Occidente di Rovereto. Nel settembre del 1996 presenta Dialoghi Visionari con Laura Pitscheider al Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Rovereto e nel 1998 a Pietrasanta nel Chiostro di S.Agostino. Nel 1999 è ancora a Rovereto nella Biblioteca Civica per presentare “Quadri per una biblioteca”, quaranta opere che “traducono” in immagine opere letterarie e testi poetici.<br />Nell’agosto del 2002 scopre la “espressività degli alberi”, insita nelle diverse essenze, nelle loro strutture, venature, nodi. Espone quindi una serie di opere su legno, con tecniche pirografiche e miste al Centro Ladino di Ortisei. Queste opere sono presenti on line in un Museo americano Nell’ottobre del 2002 partecipa alla manifestazione Lire en fête a Marsiglia con una serie di libri d’artista. Nel 2004 è ospite di Italia Nostra al Parco di Monza con la mostra “ l’albero racconta” accompagnata dall’arpista Elena Cordublas, con lettura di testi poetici,.<br />Nel 2007 inizia un dialogo su Internet con il gruppo Password, a cui partecipano poeti ed artisti che risiedendo in ogni parte del mondo lavorano on line con il personal computer, gli uni scrivendo poesie, gli altri traducendole in immagini, con mostre a Graz, Pechino, Washington.<br />Nello stesso anno presenta nella Galleria Civica di Monza “Il libro che suona che canta che balla” una panoramica del suo lungo lavoro d’artista, che accoglie anche le ultime opere elaborate al computer, presentato con quattro eventi di musica, danza, letture di poesia e creatività.<br />Nel 2008 è alla Feltrinelli di Monza per la prima mostra del suo avatar Sarima Giha<br /><br />a.k.a. Sarima Giha risiede e opera in Second Life, Tomcorsan Place, 235.167.32<br />E’ un avatar nato il 9 settembre del 2007. Aveva uno scopo ben preciso per nascere in Second Life: far conoscere il lavoro artistico di Maria Luisa Grimani alle persone che per divertimento o impegno viaggiano in questo incredibile mondo digitale. Una struttura portante, esposizione permanente creata dall’avatar Core Tatham, svetta verso il cielo con le sue poesie visive, frutto della collaborazione con i poeti di Password.<br />Terminata la sua prima missione, è partita alla scoperta del mondo virtuale entrando tra le pieghe dei paesaggi, delle sculture e degli oggetti creati dagli avatar, e collezionando una serie di snapshot come “prove d’artista”.<br />Nascono così nuove poesie e le sue prime “cartoline”, viaggi virtuali e mentali, descritte nel suo blog personale “Il fogliomondo di Sarima”, aperto per raccontare in Internet le sue esperienze.<br />La sua autobiografia, sempre in evoluzione, è un libro in carta scritto, illustrato e costruito a mano da Maria Luisa Grimani.</p><p> </p><p>Curriculum (English)</p><p>Maria Luisa Grimani is an artist who lives and works in Monza, Italy.<br />In 1975 she began her activity by “translating” chess games in visual design. Bruno Munari appreciated these works and put two of them in his book “La scoperta del quadrato” (ed. Zanichelli). From 1977 Grimani embarked on a long path to find out the connections between word and image by studying in depth the semiotic interpretation of poetic texts. In 1981 she started a series of interpretation of Christmas poems, a visual ermeneutica about the relations between nature, mankind and divinity. She chose lines from G. Ungaretti, T. S. Eliot, R. M. Rilke, G. Apollinaire, Boris Pasternàk and Luis De Gongora. In 1985 she worked on Italo Calvino’s novel « Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore “ creating ten works on canvas exhibited for the first time at the Villa Reale di Monza then at the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara. Then she expanded her artistic research looking for the connections between music and images to achieve a gesture-sign inspired particularly by dance. In 1990 she presented “Il vuoto meraviglioso”, Zen inspired works in Lisbon (Portugal). Grimani was also attracted by the relations between macro and micro aspects of the world. Invited by an Italian Aircraft Company, she created a series of pictures on the vision of the earth from the moon. These works were presented in 1993 at the Aeronautic Exibition Le Bourget, Paris (France). The year after she was invited to an exhibitions dedicated to the 25° anniversary of the moon-landing at the Aeronautic Museum Caproni in Trento, for which she realized three triptyches called “Mappaluna 3x3”. In 1994 she presented her “Giardino dei segni” at the Festival of the Dance Oriente Occidente in Rovereto (Italy). Again, in the Museum of Modern Art (MART) of Rovereto, in 1996, she presented a series of paintings called “Dialoghi Visionari”, together with the artist Laura Pitscheider, inspired by the architectural vaults of an ancient palace. On 1999 she was once again in Rovereto at the Civic Library to present “Quadri per una biblioteca”, paintings inspired by her readings of Calvino, Perec, Pessoa and other writers. In 2002 she realized a series of pyrographic woodworks, trying to interpret the grain and veins of different trees. These works were shown at the Ladin Museum in Ortisei and are present on an American Museum on line. The same year she presented her first series of art-books at the exhibition “Lire en fête” in Marseille (France), invited by the Atelier Vis-à-Vis. In 2004 the exhibition “L’albero racconta” takes place in the Park of Monza invited by Italia Nostra together with a concert by the harpist Elena Cordublas and poetry reading. At the end of 2006 she starts a dialogue on Internet with an international community “Password”, a group of poets and visual artists that exchange poems and images on line: Up to now Password has presented its works in Graz, Austria, in Washington, at the Art Fair of Beijin and next shall be in Milan. In 2007 the Civic Art Gallery of Monza gave her the opportunity of presenting her artistic itinerary including her last works elaborated by the computer, together with four events of dance, music, poetry reading, and creative experiences.<br />a.k.a. Sarima Giha is an avatar that lives and works in Second Life, Tomcorsan Place, 235.167.32.<br />She was born the 9th of September 2007. She gave herself an aim: to present Maria Luisa Grimani’s artistic work to people who travel in this digital world and whose sensibility and creativity is particular. A supporting structure, a permanent exhibition created by the avatar Core Tatham, stands out against the sky, showing her visual lines inspired by the poems of password’s writers. Then, she set out to discover this virtual world coming into the details of the landscapes, of the scultures, of the objects created by the avatars and collecting a series of snapshots as “prove d’artista”. New visual poems, picture postcards, virtual and mental travels are described in her personal blog “il fogliomondo di Sarima", born to tell her experiences and adventure in second life.</p><p> </p><p>Presentazione Istallazione<br /><br /><em>Su Arena call for artists presenterò il mio blog “Il fogliomondo di Sarima” come un’opera unica dedicata a Second Life.<br />E’ una grande opportunità per me poter presentare in una visione unitaria, una città fantastica, sospesa nello spazio e ondeggiante, dove svettano immagini, parole e suoni. Una pagina in più per il mio “libro che suona che canta che balla”.<br />In questa fase il mio racconto si fa tramite tra il mondo reale e il mondo virtuale ed è un’opera in continua evoluzione.

In alcune foto il protagonista assoluto è l'avatar, con una ricchezza di particolari che lo rendono quasi tridimensionale, come per dargli la possibità di uscire dalla fotografia stessa. Altre volte invece, i colori degli sfondi catturano gli occhi con una sorta di ipnosi psichedelica dove il personaggio centrale non è percepibile nell'immediatezza e dà spazio alla ricerca, al gioco dello scoprire, comprendere, immedesimarsi , interagire aggiungendo o togliendo attraverso la propria immaginazione colori o oggetti, a quelli della foto. L'essenza delle opere di Milla è l'essere completamente liberi. </div><div>- AtmaXenia Giha</div><div><br /></em><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24801860@N08/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/24801860@N08/</a></div><br /><div>mail: <a href="mailto:millamilla_noel@yahoo.it">millamilla_noel@yahoo.it</a></div><div>facebook: MillaMilla Noelyoutube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUcwHl4DDU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUcwHl4DDU</a><br />Exhibitions in sl:</div><div>Museo del Metaverso, Galleria Imparafacine Runo presso Vulcano, ISN galleria , SecondVision Gallery, Galleria Lion Igaly, Galleria Aquila Faulds<br />Exhibitio in RL:</div><div>Rinascimento Virtuale a Firenze<br />Exhibit in corso: </div><div>video presso il NMC Labs - diabolus Carp:<a href="wlmailhtml:%7BE0A86367-A93B-4661-8296-F09D1CE5442A%7Dmid://00000185/!x-usc:http://slurl.com/secondlife/NMC%20Labs/155/110/664">http://slurl.com/secondlife/NMC%20Labs/155/110/664</a><br />installazione di Lucian Iwish presso Uqbar - Arena<a href="wlmailhtml:%7BE0A86367-A93B-4661-8296-F09D1CE5442A%7Dmid://00000185/!x-usc:http://slurl.com/secondlife/Experience%20Italy%20NW/128/124/38">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Experience%20Italy%20NW/128/124/38</a></div></div>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116342234325806818.post-67167365386239398692008-12-28T01:56:00.000-08:002008-12-28T02:08:10.344-08:00Evaluna Sperber<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284778043334953346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMjRRDwGqSJL5ZzxJTEt9SNybOH1dRWwxJsIM4PUDS8en5fEjf6oUIftCSckyQ4y8HbG0M8nRTGgpsPdJlSHpeNh7QGWxiFYHo3CKW9oZiYSST-Pj4upwZNA2JKI9ibYKhR5h06a_Faw/s320/17.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjelxET7aexZehCBfkMgijgZYALICxd2Pdvtbvrn19Tw7ja-qByaox8z0-rPWpyCDry9bkcfuo0rC4d3dRpEn2wJvhj6i6ix1TjmcQc6mPTx79YE_gFBqK1oFWdDOQCRFXKBw5mFBfvitA/s1600-h/17.2+eva-.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284778866336007698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 185px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjelxET7aexZehCBfkMgijgZYALICxd2Pdvtbvrn19Tw7ja-qByaox8z0-rPWpyCDry9bkcfuo0rC4d3dRpEn2wJvhj6i6ix1TjmcQc6mPTx79YE_gFBqK1oFWdDOQCRFXKBw5mFBfvitA/s320/17.2+eva-.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTI8fDx56SjMXGnTrmweqNBsLvj8t9yebqi2K7lvFbVNMOPtF7HpZVtTSRHcMX3pTWdyFLoogDcuz3NYgIM48tDofuzoykZAzJwUAOZCZeu7TmcglMDd-5dyGZmDaXpaXs-x5xtm8lUiY/s1600-h/17.1+eva-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284778257588997138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTI8fDx56SjMXGnTrmweqNBsLvj8t9yebqi2K7lvFbVNMOPtF7HpZVtTSRHcMX3pTWdyFLoogDcuz3NYgIM48tDofuzoykZAzJwUAOZCZeu7TmcglMDd-5dyGZmDaXpaXs-x5xtm8lUiY/s320/17.1+eva-.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>uqbar. media art culture e Rinascimento Virtuale</strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div>Vi invitano all'apertura di /Invite you at the Opening of</div><div></div><div><strong>Evaluna Sperber</strong></div><div>Sunday, December 28, to Tuesday, December 30. 2008</div><div>(10PM CET - 01 PM SLT)</div><div></div><div><strong>ARENA MdM</strong> slurl: <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722</a><br /><br /><br />LUNE EMOTIVE<br /><br />Finalità:<br />1) promuovere la diffusione di espressioni creative di autori esordienti in collaborazione sinergica, dare cioè l'impulso ad una nuova forma di spettacolo virtuale.<br />2) affiancando queste espressioni creative sempre a temi sociali scarsamente conosciuti, offrire informazione attraverso il principio del piacere utilizzando il metaverso come mezzo di comunicazione di temi volutamente ignorati da stampa e televisione.<br />3) creare percorsi di ascolto come una nuova caccia al tesoro tra land Italiane che conduca alla fine al Pyramid Cafè vero luogo di incontro e culla di collaborazioni e scambi creativi.<br /><br />Caratteristiche del progetto:<br />Nascendo dalla genetica di Pyramid il microcosmo di LUNE EMOTIVE ne segue i principi. Non richiede un grande dispendio di prims in quanto le diverse ambientazioni verranno rezzate singolarmente.<br />Si tratta nello specifico di ambientazioni contenute all'interno di sfere giganti nelle quali sarà possibile ascoltare in suggestive atmosfere brani di musica e poesia erotica.<br />Questa sfere o Lune emotive, per l'appunto, verranno rezzate da un jukebox che conterrà anche varie informazioni. Il progetto che avrà la sua sede definitiva in una piazzola di Kastalia in prossimità del Pyramid Cafè, prevede inoltre di essere collegato attraverso delle teleporte ad altrettante land dove verranno ospitate delle singole sfere nelle quali saranno semplicemente inseriti dei racconti erotici o delle poesie erotiche da ascoltare e che a loro volta porteranno a Kastalia/Vulcano. In ogni postazione verrà inoltre dato un invito a quanti avendo capacità grafiche o musicali vogliano creare a loro volta nuove ambientazioni per l'ascolto dei racconti e delle poesie spiate dalla luna, di cui sono autrice.<br /><br />Al progetto LUNE EMOTIVE SONO ASSOCIATE LA RACCOLTA FONDI PER LE VITTIME DELL'URANIO INPOVERITO PROMOSSA DAL BLOG DI FRANCA RAME E SEGUITA DALL'OSSERVATORIO MILITARE ITALIANO.<br /><br />I BRANI ASCOLTABILI ALL'INTERNO DELLE LUNE SONO STATI PRESENTATI AL SECOND LYFE PRIDE DI PISTOIA A GIUGNO 2007.<br /><br />Hanno contribuito assieme a me alla realizzazione del progetto tanti amici che cito con amore perchè ognuno di loro come me ha voluto dare la propria creatività senza alcun fine di lucro per il piacere di creare il bello e per la voglia di usarlo per diffondere informazione.<br /><br />Per la parte tecnica: JonnyBee Cioc , magicflute Oh, Dracoita ferrentino.

Does not require a lot of prims as the various environments will be individually rezzed.<br />This is in specific, locations contained inside giant spheres in which you can listen in evocative atmosphere erotic poetry and music.<br />This spheres or emotional moons , in fact, will be rezzed by a jukebox that will also contain different informations.<br /><br />The project will have its permanent seat in a little part of Kastalia near the Pyramid Cafe, also plans to be connected through teleports to lands where they will be housed individual spheres in which will be simply incorporated the erotic stories or erotic poems to be heard and that in turn will lead to Kastalia / Vulcano.<br />In each location will also be given an invitation to those who have musical graphical skill wants to create new locations for listening to stories and poems spy from the moon, of which I am the author.<br />The project lune emotional are associated raising funds for victims of uranio impoverito (impoverished uranium) promoted by the blog of Franca Rame followed by italian military observatory<br /><br />i played in extracts of lune were presented to second lyfe pistoia a pride of june 2007.<br /><br />A special mention for many friends that I love who helped me for the implementation of the project.Each of them as I, wanted to give his creativity with no profit, for the pleasure of creating beauty and the desire to use it to disseminate information:<br /><br />technical support): JonnyBee Cioc , magicflute Oh, Dracoita ferrentino.

She is a concept really. The idea is to see if an entity that exists only online can succeed as an artist. Can a digital character step forward from the second life and enter the first life. Could she exhibit in real life shoulder to shoulder with flesh and blood artists?<br /><br />The visual artist essentially has one main purpose, to make the viewer look at or interact with their creation for as long as possible. When the viewer has moved away then you may have lost them so essentially don't let them leave. A good artist will subtly employ different techniques to keep the eye of the viewer traveling within the piece. For example, generally (and all art "rules" are general) the viewer’s eye will enter a painting starting in the bottom right hand side. The eye tends to travel counter clockwise in a circular manner moving from focal point to focal point. The artist will then try to lead the eye to areas of importance. This can be done through colour theory, composition or a multitude of other methods. The artist wants to capture the viewer and suspend their disbelief. Make them feel like they are within the painting. I like to work on large paintings to block out the viewer’s peripheral vision. Don't let them see a light switch or another painting or even another person in their peripheral because that only anchors them to the knowledge that they are in fact within a gallery setting looking at a 2D image. Those elements prevent the viewer from becoming fully immersed. And this is where Second Life comes in. I believe the next big art movement will be immersive art, and I think second life is the start to this. We still look at a computer screen and can be distracted by our peripheral, by the need to use a keyboard, by our cat or by the phone ringing. But we have taken the step to be immersed in a 3D environment rather than viewing a 2D image. When space is available I create a story to catch the viewers attention. I create mysteries or environments for participation, and I am constantly trying to think of other ways to further immerse the viewer. We are at the beginnings now but I imagine the art of the future to be when someone comes home from work and plugs into an environment. They might be transported to a canoe on a lake with calling loons or their grandmothers’ kitchen. But perhaps the real test of an artist will be drawing out the shiver one feels when their virtual lover caresses their cheek. The feeling of love for an entity that does not exist in the real world, but was able to draw forth such an emotion due to the viewer’s full immersion into a storied environment.<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116342234325806818.post-21103076976564861372008-12-20T04:46:00.000-08:002008-12-20T05:19:47.154-08:00AOM - Avatar Orchestre Metaverse<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281854371111889138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBezUGWVFcH9AdqSqlKcFR6BZe7R4AmcukQ048A0U07I5EpC_NnUtgWbEB0ttzgwsc-h6YiLMIqjWSwZtQNcUm_nKrf8281I2H1_rd9fBCD-ZJL0nrqNq4FUnKKvf6w3S42n9zKZzRaxo/s320/4.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2ZVzR_ViOQwL6sz-ZiKsfhoGbJ6An28DLFhqQ6PrneefEoFhmMKpD8hVzn5HbyJ9dFYvqdjX6iro2ulZcnriKsw3GAUzuXI_iIcF1hfbqDr3r3PUouw3SCWSwPlJfLwm_epOkrGQ-uQ/s1600-h/4.1.ALAN.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281854955523222594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2ZVzR_ViOQwL6sz-ZiKsfhoGbJ6An28DLFhqQ6PrneefEoFhmMKpD8hVzn5HbyJ9dFYvqdjX6iro2ulZcnriKsw3GAUzuXI_iIcF1hfbqDr3r3PUouw3SCWSwPlJfLwm_epOkrGQ-uQ/s320/4.1.ALAN.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhrxt5JxQNG02ojja-NmO6hBUhhHbzsZ5O7vkO8L6O-lOU1bWr83M6xsdp6lUSsqo5-f9Q_gxMrGKIo7PMSupR9XB_TGl-uvACq3hLNzwrrKhgjVo_vUGskT0VEP0yXfuwZj8dyfBFetg/s1600-h/4.2.AOM.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281854482342240674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 192px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhrxt5JxQNG02ojja-NmO6hBUhhHbzsZ5O7vkO8L6O-lOU1bWr83M6xsdp6lUSsqo5-f9Q_gxMrGKIo7PMSupR9XB_TGl-uvACq3hLNzwrrKhgjVo_vUGskT0VEP0yXfuwZj8dyfBFetg/s320/4.2.AOM.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>uqbar. media art culture e Rinascimento Virtuale</strong><br /><br />Vi invitano all'apertura di /Invite you at the Opening of<br /><br /><strong>AOM - Avatar Orchestre Metaverse</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>Saturday, December <strong>20</strong>, to Monday, December <strong>22</strong>. 2008<br />10PM CET - 01 PM SLT)<br /><br /><strong>ARENA MdM</strong> slurl: <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Uqbar/47/222/722</a><br /><br />SATURDAY: Slippery Slope - The Heart of Tone - Aleatricity<br />SUNDAY: Fragula - New Economy -In (whirled) Trance<br />MONDAY: PwrHm -Avatars's Brew -Wee.No.Kresh<br /><br /><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong><br /></strong>1. VICKY'S MOSKITOS<br />composer/concept: Harold Shellinx aka Hars Hefferman<br />realisation : Bjorn Eriksson aka Miulew Takahe , ookoi, Pomodoro Bolzano<br />world premiere (mixed reality): March14, 2007 at art.think.box SL and de Waag Society Amsterdam<br />instruments: Andreas Müler aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />text:<br />Vicky's Moskitos #13, directed by Miulew Takahe has been presented at the Art.Think.Box SL performed by the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse and simultaneously at the Waag Society Amsterdam, presented and performed by ookoi and additionally screened and webcast as part of a live emission of Killer TV. Except for Vicky's voice reading, a text by Harold Shellinx, which was streamed live from Sweden, all sounds used (typing, clicks, bumps, water, goats and more) were found and played within Second Life, by means of 'aviophones', created by Bingo Onomatopeia.<br />2. FADHEIT<br />(Variationen über die Fadheit Nr. 2 – für Avatar Orchestra Metaverse)<br />composer: Shintaro Miyazaki / Maximillian Nakamura<br />world premiere: March 27, 2007 at amphitheater in Odyssey SL<br />instruments: designed and build by the composer<br />text:<br />'Fadheit' is a piece of soundart, that existed before in RL. Based on a Soloversion for a Laptop (Supercollider 3) the composition was played also by Laptoporchester Berlin. The german word "Fadheit" means something like staleness. The composition deals with elementar sounds of a violin and tries to explore elementally these sounds. This produces a somehow stale environment. In East-Asia (China, Korea, Japan) staleness is often also positivly denoted. Fadheit is then the reduction of the basic things and of the crucial and essential moments.<br />3. RUE BLANCHE<br />The name of the piece is inspired by the book 'Le vol d´Icare' by Raymond Queneau. Icare is the main character who walks out on is author. One day he disappears from his author and this is the frame of this story. The character Icare did not want to be locked inside the story of the author and when suddenly he gets free he explores a new world. Icare finds himself on a zero point and that is the street called Rue Blanche. Icare seems to enjoy this and he from there he explores the new life. Things he has not been able to do before. He feels very free and with lust for life. He also falls in love with LN.<br />Rue Blanche was made as an experiment to work with sine tones in harmonic series in an orchestral context. A sine tone is the most simple and pure waveform consisting of only one frequency. A harmonic series is a progression of tones with start from the fundamental tone frequency and then 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times the fundamental frequency. The HUDs was prepared with two sets of sine tone harmonic series. In addition to the sine tones the piece includes found sounds or field recordings.<br />composer: Bjorn Eriksson aka Miulew Takahe<br />world premiere (mixed reality): May 12, 2007 at Virtual Haidplatz in Odyssey,<br />presented live at art.xxXtenxion germany and ljudrum sweden happenings.<br />instruments: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />4. WEE NO KRESH<br />The Onomatophone was created out of the idea to build an instrument with real 3-dimensional sound. The result is an instrument that separates the control-interface from the sound-generation: six spheres sending out audio fly right through the audience, thus giving everybody a unique, continuously changing mix. Technically, it is a project for learning the coding of LSL (Linden Scrpting Language), I had to create an interface controlling the sounds as well as the movements of the spheres - plus visual feedback for the audience (and player) as the buttons change color when clicked.<br />In order not to make this a solo-piece for me, I extended the instrumentarium and created a special HUD for Miulew to do the vocal/solo role, so the general arc of tension for the whole song would not have to rely on me alone remote-controlling loops. The rest of the orchestra has HUDs to add percussive spice to the whole thing.<br />composer: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />world premiere: May 12, 2007 at Virtual Haidplatz in Odyssey,<br />presented live at art.xxXtenxion germany and ljudrum sweden happenings.<br />instruments designed and built by Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />5. URSONATE DECONSTRUCTED<br />The original Ursonate consists of a written organization of phonetics,with notations in German. No notes, tempi, or formal dynamics are given, allowing the performer a bit of freedom. In his notes to the piece, Schwitters writes "As with any printed music, many interpretations are possible. As with any other reading, correct reading requires the use of imagination." For the Avatar Orchestra version of Ursonate, composer Shintaro Miyazaki cut up a interpretation by Adachi Tomomi into many audiosamples of different lenghts and visualized this process by using avatar-deforming scripts by Gazira Babeli as "ready-mades" for its own piece of conceptual scriptbased soundart. Schwitters Ursonate can be interpretated as a reflexion on the medium and speaking technics of language itself. The Deconstruction of the avatars in "Ursonate Deconstructed" leads to a reflection of the technical basics of Second Life and thus also of virtual digital art itself. By creating a war-game like situation Miyazaki refers not only on the kittlerian notion that all media technology especially the computer, but also the synthesizer is born out of war technologies, but also on the fact that the development of computer games was a consequence of the simulation systems invented to train troops and soldiers during the cold war. "Ursonate Deconstructed" is an attempt of bringing these facts to an interested audience in a game-like, playful way.<br />by Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948),<br />arranged by Shintaro Miyazaki aka Maximillian Nakamura<br />world premiere: November 2007 at Wien Modern 07<br />Soundsamples courtesy Adachi Tomomi<br />SL-Code Scripts courtesy Gariza Babeli<br />6. FRAGULA<br />composer: Bjorn Eriksson aka Miulew Takahe<br />world premiere: June 2007<br />instruments and animations designed and built by Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />The piece is a play with words "fragment", "fragile", "fragula" and "Dracula". The visual part of this piece is made from small and big movements and animations of avatars while having the sound sack being colored in different colours. One of the major ideas about this piece is to have the orchestra to wander from a fragile and fragmented digital synthezised sound texture into a more analog acoustic and not so fragmented sound texture, and then come back to where it all started. This is aurally symbolized in the granulated synthezised sounds of sine waves, square waves and sawtooth shaped sounds. Also arpeggiated synthetic figures then gradually transform into the sounds of an old harmonium with unprecise playing. There is also a transitional sound in between the digital and analog sound sources where a time stretched harmonium sounds gets this role. There is three groups of players in this piece as the different sounds forms chordal sound textures.<br />7. SLippery SLope<br />"SLippery SLope" was composed exclusively for the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse in the popular virtual world, Second Life. This classically influenced new music composition uses a special written score and custom designed instruments as well as functioning reproductions of classical instruments. The composition itself is based on the virtually geophysical location and proximity of each Orchestra performer as well as their respective audience. Thiscomposition is as much an aleatoric endurance performance piece as well as an experiential product of 19th century Romantic Composer ambitions. The goal for each Orchestra performer (as well as the composer) is to successfully ascend 3 coloured slippery slopes. The composition ends once every performer has successfully ascended all 3 slopes.<br />composer: Jeremy Owen Turner aka Wirxli Flimflam<br />world premiere: June 30, 2007 at Virtual Haidplatz, Odyssey SL<br />and Pages Festival at Notice Gallery, Deptford GB<br />instruments: Andreas Müler aka Bingo Onamatopoeia<br />set design: Detlef Thomas aka Dethomas Dibou<br />hyper-instruments: Robbie Dingo<br />8. RIESENRAD<br />This timbrally maximalist composition is an homage to all the composers throughout history that have either lived, worked or premiered any of their own compositions in Vienna. Structurally speaking, this composition can be seen as a hypermodernist and mechanistic "proof-of-concept" rather than a Romantic style composition with a clearly defined programmatic narrative with a Schenkarian tonal resolution hierarchy. The "real" Riesenrad is actually Vienna's largest family-sized Ferris Wheel and a familiar tourist attraction. In addition to virtual clasical instruments, the "modernists" have a special HUD interface where they can improvise using 24 recycled samples from various composers affiliated with Vienna. Another unique feature of this orchestral opus for Second Life is the fact that the composer/conductor is also responsible for producing classical drone/engine sounds from an exclusive HUD interface. So in this sense, the composer/conductor is also a performer in realtime. composer: Jeremy Owen Turner aka Wirxli Flimflam<br />composer: Jeremy Owen Turner aka Wirxli Flimflam<br />world premiere: November 24, 2007 at Wien Modern Festival, Austria<br />set design: Detlef Thomas aka Dethomas Dibou<br />instrument: Andreas Müler aka Bingo Onamatopoeia<br />9. THE HEART OF TONES<br />dedicated to the memory of Toyoji Tomita<br />composer: Pauline Oliveros aka Free Noyes<br />world premiere: April 17, 2008 at Deep Listening Institute's Women and Identity Festival , New York City, USA<br />instruments + receivers: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoea<br />This piece was originally composed for trombone and two oscillators, and commissioned by Abbie Conant and her Wired Goddess Project during her residency at Mills College in the Fall of 1999. The premiere of the piece was done at Mills College. This is an ensemble version of the piece adapted for the mixed realities of Second Life and Real Life, combining virtual instruments with live trombones and voices streamed into Second Life. The Heart of Tones: A tone, in this instance, D4, is minutely explored in the smallest possible increments on, above and below the prescribed pitch, through the smallest timbre variations and spatial locations by performers on virtual and physical instruments. The pitch variations are never more than a half step away from the given pitch. The resultant beats, timbral shifts and audio illusions create rhythms, transformations and textures of depth. The focus is on listening to the acoustic beat frequencies and the overtones that result from playing tones together that are very very close together in frequency. The musicians decide independently and intuitively on the variations.<br />10. XAANADRuuL<br />Stockhausen's Pleasuredome 4 Sirius Business<br />dedicated to the memory of Karlheinz Stockhausen<br />composer: Jeremy Owen Turner aka Wirxli Flimflam<br />world premiere: May 2008 Voice + + Festival 2008, Open Space, Victoria, Canada<br />instruments: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoea<br />architect + set design: Detlef Thomas aka Dethomas Dibou<br />world premiere: XAANADRuuL is a Second Life composition in 3 sections created for the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse. One can see this composition as an official elegy/tribute to the Modernist music pioneer, Karlheinz Stockhausen. XAANADRuuL was created from the samples that were solely derived from the composer's own digitally manipulated voice. This composition was inspired by Stockhausen's claim of being an alien from Sirius and so the 3 sections of this composition correspond to Sirius A, B and C stars. In addition, there are also many references to Xanadu (including the movie with Olivia Newton John) The Opening Ceremonies take place on Sirius A where angels sing along with the selected voice samples heavenly heights on the ceiling of a pentagonal geodesic dome and also on Sirius B where meandering avatars vainly attempt to communicate with these alien angelic muses using only pre-recorded samples. Sirius C is a "meta-composition" and is performed by the public throughout Second Life.<br />11. PwRHm<br />PwRHm explores electricity and connectivity through the relationship of 2 sets sine tones tuned to the harmonic series of the Alternating Currents of the North American (60 Hz) and European/Asian (50 Hz) electric systems respectively; modified field recordings of electric motors and generators from each continent; and the live breath rhythms of the globally dispersed players. PwRHm uses 4 'instruments' created within the Second Life platform. The instrument sounds are made from sets of short (3- 7 second) sound samples put together in a HUD (Heads Up Display) configuration. Each avatar/player is playing one or more of the instruments designated by their geographic location to make the combined sound of the piece. The globes held by the players are 'receivers' that emit differently coloured particles according to the particular instrument they each play, and the pitch and volume of each sound as it is played. In some ways, PwRHm is an investigation of the musical expressiveness that might be possible with these electrically rooted source sounds through a combination of conducting and telematic improvisation.<br />composer: Humming Pera aka Tina Pearson<br />world premiere: April 17, 2008 at Deep Listening Institute's Women and Identity Festival , New York City, USA<br />instruments + field recordings: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoea<br />particles by Sachiko Hayashi aka Goodwind Seiling<br />12. WASTE FROM REAL LIFE<br />With a blend of sounds including synthesizer patches, drum and piano samples, this piece can be performed with live percussion and other instruments, and includes samples of sounds gathered by the performers from their 'real' lives.<br />composer: Biagio Francia aka BlaiseDeLaFrance Voom<br />world premiere: July 26, 2008 at art.xXtenxion 2008, Regensburg, Germany and art.think.box, Netherbeck SL<br />sampling: Biagio Francia aka BlaiseDeLaFrance Voom<br />instruments and animations built by Andreas Mueller<br />13. THE NEW ECONOMY<br />This piece was composed for a concert by AOM at the Centre for Culture and Politics, De Balie Movie Theatre, Amsterdam. In his real life, Biagio Francia is an economist and musician. He composed this piece with sounds from field recordings, text in different languages about currencies, and samples from piano and synthesizer sounds.<br />composer: Biagio Francia aka BlaiseDeLaFrance Voom<br />world premiere: August 30, 2008 at the Goodbye Dollar Festival, deBalie, Amsterdam, The Netherlands<br />instruments + animations: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />14. IN WHIRLED (TRANCE) FORMATIONS<br />An improvisatory piece that invites participants to transform themselves through sounding and moving, with members of AOM employing North's virtual versions of his RL Singing Masks as "vehicles of transformation." The result is intended to be a spontaneously playful shaping of sound, light, and motion. This is a simple conceptual piece calling for improvization, "spontaneous order",as Pauline Oliveros calls it given a particular mind-set. In this as well as other Singing Mask ceremonies, my interest is in listening into the moment and using masks to connect with alternate realities, modes of cognition, if you will, or underlying fabrics, weaves of energies. Within this framework, everything is "perfect." No need to worry about making mistakes. Simply remain aware of the basic conditions: listening, transforming, or in other words being in whirled trance (formation).<br />composer: Norman Lowrey aka North Zipper<br />world premiere: October 3, 2008 at Drew University, Madison, New Jersey, USA<br />instruments, virtual masks + animations: Norman Lowrey aka North Zipper<br />15. ALEATRICITY<br />"Aleatricity is 200 years of science, technology and cultural history put into a noisy little piece, with Frankenstein as the glue sticking it all together. " This piece, written by Andreas Müller (aka Bingo Onomatopoeia) for the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse in 2008 uses only samples generated by circuit-bent instrument and homemade oscillators. Thus, these sounds cannot be assigned to a definite pitch or scale, they seem to be aleatoric at first glance. But upon a closer look at the technology of their electronic generation, one quickly realizes that they are not at all: they are created by unambiguous laws of digital logic, following simple yes/no-decisions. This is reflected in the title: "Aleatricity" is a blend of "aleatoric" (random) and "electriciy", two words whose close relation is being illustrated by the visual realization in Second Life: the accidental discovery of the nerve-system by Luigi Galvani and the act of writing against the boredom of a rainy summer by Mary Shelley, which procreated the world's first science-fiction novel "Frankenstein" are brought into a visual and acoustic relation which exemplifies that seemingly unconnected things are often closely related.<br />composer: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />world premiere: November 20, 2008 at EMPAC, RPI, Troy New York<br />instruments + animations: Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />16. PATAPHONE AOMPROVISATION<br />Michel Waisvisz was a composer, performer and inventor of experimental electronic musical instruments. He was the artistic director of STEIM in Amsterdam from 1981 to his passing in June of 2008. At STEIM, he collaborated with musicians and artists from all over the world. As the avatar Pata Mayo, he made the Pataphone in Second Life, planning to develop it over time. Its delightful sounds reflect the adventurous sonic mind of its creator, who infected all of us with a love for play and delightful discovery in sound. Thank you, Michel.<br />composed by AOM as inspired by Michel Waisvicz' Pataphone<br />world premiere: September, 2008<br />Second Life instrument installation designed and built by Michel Waisvicz<br />17. BIRTH<br />This new piece by media artist and rock musician Liz Solo is a work in progress exploring notions of birth in real life and the virtual world. The sounds include recordings from inside the womb, fetus heartbeats, baby cries, bells, and other sounds. The 3 instruments played by the avatars were built by Liz in Second Life, and will become HUD instruments worn by the avatars for future versions of the piece.<br />composer: Liz Solo aka lizsolo Mathilde<br />world premiere: Octobre 24, Rock Can Roll Festival, St. John's Newfoundland, Canada<br />instruments + installation: Liz Solo aka lizsolo Mathilde<br />18. PLEIADES<br />Pleiades is a collaborative mixed reality composition created and performed by members of Tintinnabulate and Avatar Orchestra Metaverse.

AVATARS BREW<br />The hint in the title to Miles Davis is to inspire the members to listen, improvise and rehearse on stage. Within this frame each member of the orchestra will play with the framework and a dedicated choice of all other sources of sounds and animations available live through environment or inventory. The premiere performance (ISIM, Denver, November 20, 2008) included 2 giant pianos, Michel Waicvicz' Pataphone, a virtual cello, Norman Lowrey's virtual masks, Andreas Mueller's Aleatricity keyboard, Shintaro Miyazaki's Fadheit sounds and a few mysteries.<br />composer: Leif Inge aka Gumnosophistai Nurmi<br />world premiere: December 5, 2008 at ISIM Denver, USA<br />Prim instruments:<br />Patafone by Pata Mayo aka Michel Waicvicz<br />Giant pianos by Elixer Aero<br />Single samples:<br />Bitches Brew samples, especially «lastbop» that is cue for others to join.<br />Mechanics:<br />Onomatophone with Bitches Brew cords (Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia<br />Floating Sound Cube by AngryBeth Shortbread</div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong>BIO</strong></div><div>Avatar Orchestra Metaverse is a global collaboration of musicians, media-artists and sound artists, who meet in the virtual space of Second Life to explore the boundaries of space and music. Although being globally distributed (Canada, USA, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Japan), they meet to play and work together in real-time. They do not try to imitate a conventional orchestra, but use the new medium as an instrument, where the generation of a sound can also trigger movements and graphics. The result is a new audio-visual experience, where the audience is witnessing a live-event, played by musicians thousands of miles apart.<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>uqbar. media art culturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660121722873368407noreply@blogger.com0
