Drips and Drops

Drips and Drops from Juria Yoshikawa on Vimeo.

Drips and Drops is an abstract fantasy space full of gigiantic swirlies, happy bubbles and my sons eerie cello noises. This is about joy, plain and simple. I originally built this installation in December 2007 and recently rerezzed it Brooklyn is Watching on March 2009. More photos up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lancesh/sets/72157603551616394/

A Mess of Artwork (Week #52)

Unlike the previous two weeks at BiW which seem focused on collective themes like rainbow stripes or window/walls, it's been a random week where I created various artworks scattered throughout the sim among other artists random works. Nonetheless, it's been a lot of fun.

The first piece in this set is called Intersection at BiW and is made up of thin black megaprims that randomly glide across the floor of sim with a brush-like texture animated in each to make them appear to strech and contract.

The second piece is a "art is anything you can get away with" and based on a quote by Marshall McLuhan. The piece is a combination of animated textures and distorted words in the surface of the water of the channel close to the entrance gate of BiW. The motion of the piece has a strange feeling of being alive and feels a bit "alien planet" to my eye.

The third piece is an older work Drips & Drops rerezzed at 150m above the sim. I've enjoyed bringing this piece back to life.
