Speak Your Mind
Every artist needs to hear feedback from people about her work to see different perspectives on the work. I encourage you to leave comments, ideas and questions on the blog.

At Jack the Pelican Presents in Brooklyn the RL opening of the BIW BEST OF YEAR ONE FEST occurred with crowds of enthusiastic viewers as seen in this photo. I find the Paparazzi quality of this photo amusing and telling that the work at Brooklyn is Watching is really turning heads. Part of this is owed to organizer/founder Jay Van Buren (pictured on left) and much to the 30 artists chosen in the 1st years best. I am happy to be a part of this crowd of talented artists. Encore!
In "
Are You OK?" as part of the Brooklyn is Watching "
Best of Year One Festival", I was invited to create a virtual environment for avatars to perform in and which would then become a mixed reality installation at the Jack the Pelican Presents gallery in Brooklyn NY. The av interactions with the immersive art would be projected in the rl gallery for rl visitors to experience the art from an av's perspective. Also creating work in SL is my good friend Oberon Onmura who invited me to join the event. I adapted my own work "
The Wild West of My Watercolor Set" to make a winding walkthrough to allow an av (and the gallery visitors) to experience the work from different perspectives and levels of immersion.
