Team ASH

Viewed a performance of Team ASH at the first time. They have given public performances before, but a friend at Baba said that it was very heave and there were someone who was not able to enter, so I hesitated to go. But this time it was said that newcomers were welcome, so I visited there just before the curtain in order not to disturb steady customers.

It was said that there were 50 avatars, to full of the SIM capacity, but there was a security gate shown on the left that limiting avatar heaviness, so it was very comfortable to move around and swing camera smoothly. It was not necessary to lower the picture quality when adjusting camera angle like in the main land.




Since I had no chance to see the rehearsal for shooting practice the lighting was ad hoc, but I think the beauty of the wonderful show was caught in some measure. Some pictures are now presented in my gallery. Please drop in.




The exhibition is on the second floor. This is the second presentation in the new gallery. The third floor is nothing special :)

Burning

If you come too near the fire at Temi’s Teahouse, you will catch fire. It burns with great fury.

It will not be extinguished by running around or jumping into a pond. It burns until you are incinerated…. Not actually, it will go away after a while without leaving any burn injury. It will be left behind when you go out of my area and come back upon return.




Put a fire on the snowman. He does not walk, so I caught fire myself, went to the snowman, and teleported leaving the fire behind. I asked my sister to do this.




Since I saw it was possible to ignite snowmen, I burnt them. Is he made of methan hydrate?




This fire can be set at any place, so I put it on the pipe of the snowman to make a lantern.
The Baba SIM where Temi’s Teahouse is will be closed at the end of March. There will be only one facelift in this space…

Dream in space

Visited LEA January exhibition, ”Dream in Space (Imagination)” by Barry Richez. Unfortunately it was until the end of January, but we may have another chance to see arts by Barry in near future since he has done many arts including that for UWA. In this art, after walking through a desert, there was a pyramid with teleporters to outer space.




Total view of the space. We can teleport to the space station at the middle and all spheres floating in it. There is Millennium Falcon parked at the top of the station.




There are paths connecting rooms in the station like a maze. We can reach a cockpit of spaceship. There are anything and everything in this art. There are desert at the beginning, field of flowers, floating garden in the space, material storage, personal gallery, a bar like discotheque, and also a space for Tai Chi.




We can go out. It seems that there are air and gravity. There are pose balls for space walk.




Barry kindly made a tour with a flying pod. You can see the air by seeing the light beam.




There are several vehicles provided. This one is not easy to drive. While I was struggling, it went into steep dive and entered into the earth’s atmosphere. Some vehicles have a system for aerial battle.




Can stand up like this since there is gravity. The tube to the station was dismounted.




Barry said this is his room in the space station. There is a big window at near side with magnificent view of the space. What is this art all about? My answer is “A billionaire’s vacation house above a desert”. That explains the various realistic facilities listed above. There are also bathroom and a bed with pose balls for many animations. I was interested in doing things in a weightless condition, but there was gravity here.

Artemisia

FreeWee Ling’s art SIM will be closed on February 4, so I made hurrying up to. If you have not seen it, still you can be in time. A lot of her arts are presented in the SIM. There are some that were shown at UWA, but it will be hard to look at them thoroughly within a short time. After closing, she said she would use it for her own work. Please let us see more arts near future!
Artemisia: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Artemisia/185/84/2508




Many of her arts are hands-on type. I like to be able to go in and play with them. I think one of her art themes is avatar itself. In the exhibition, there is an art titled ‘Avatar’s Pet’, depicting she was bossed by avatar, other way around.




“Steampunk Rainbow Generator”, and “Sky Painter”. Get a brush and climb up the rudder to paint white clouds in the sky.




“Psychedelic Avocado” Good things of 3D arts are to see them moving and to be able to get close to see from any angle. And also I like to shoot photographs including myself.




There are many basic prims in pieces. I thought there should be some trick and looked around. It looks like this at a certain angle.




Since the title was “Shadow Lab”, I put a shadow ON and the proper shape came out.




“Hooked” A pose ball is set on each hook.




FreeWee’s art is sometimes impish, so I tried all hooks. Different from the hooks in the Halloween forest, none was icky. The right hook is not stinging my body.




There are some from famous paintings. This is “Perseus and Andromeda”. Andromeda is chained naked to a rock to be serpent for her mother Cassiopeia. The hero Perseus will come to rescue her, but this time nobody came for me…There is a pose ball for Perseus fightihg with the serpent.
I planned to make composite pictures this year, and considered to include myself in famous paintings such as The Birth of Venus or La Maja Desnuda, but FreeWee has already done them.




“Cosmic Prayer” A box like a mourner’s bench. Confession will be heard by the cosmos. It is like to shout toward the ocean.




“Greet the Dawn” When I started SL, I was impressed by the sun and loved to fly toward the sun. I was floating in the air until the sun set. This art reminds me of the good old days.
FreeWee, please open new gallery soon!
