Lucky Shot from Scratchy Night

One of my favorite shots taken inside Scratchy Night this morning. This virtual space is like a machine for making abstract expressionist images. But the piece in full motion is the best. http://slurl.com/secondlife/VWDEV%20ITEC%20ISLE/59/110/35/

Scratchy Night Re-rezzed at Memespelunk Revival

As part of Memespelunk Revival, I've brought Scratchy Night back to life.
Scratchy Night portrays a nocturnal world alight with star-shaped scratches, all akilter. An installation inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, Elros Tuominen and my 9 y.o. son. One eared Van Gogh for his Starry Night (always worth a look.) The jolly basque Elros for his impressive "inside road to ovetum" ( a tip of the hat.) And my struggling artist kid for his invention of scratch through black and color crayon drawings (clever lad.) Also as always sounds so turn up your volume. Music was partially sampled from the band Animal Collective.

To view this large immersive space: fly up into the sphere and move around within. Be sure to have your volume turned on to enjoy the ambient sound. Collective.

Video collection now at Memespelunk

Memespelunk Revival Studio now has a selection of my SL art videos that load in a video viewer to watch by clicking "video menu". While these videos can be seen on my account of Vimeo, I thought it would be cool to let visitors of the sim see a selection of past works on video while in-world. This of course doesn't replace experiencing the actually immersive experience but gives an idea of the variety of work I have done. Also, the viewer has a collection of photos accessed by clicking the "web controls" title. There are even more videos linked to the web by clicking the purple ball at the top right. The video viewer was custom made by Beau Markova (SL name) who is currently building an interesting new art and culture sim called Humanitas Nova. He has invited me to set up a few pieces at his sim and will also be showing my videos there. Thanks to Beau, I have a richer experience on exhibit at Memespelunk in April and May. I also should thank Evo Szuyuan for doing the videography for many of these videos. She did a great job on Being Spots, Seeing Spots.

SL advocate and expert Thinkerer Melville just posted a really nice blog post on my work at Memespelunk Revival on the site Rezzable.com. I appreciate his comment that the work is "immersive". Thanks Thinkerer!!!
