Brillo Boxes by Arahan Claveau
Its a nice idea to port Warhol’s works to SL… but the life of the original doesn’t quite make it through. Cubes are afforded by Second Life, so its obvious to texture a cube. Perhaps this is a comment on this very nature of the world… but I’m not sure. It appears as though this is part of a larger “Warhola” show that hopefully will bring more to the table. I look forward to seeing more in this series in a more controlled environment, where perhaps the artist’s commentary on the relationship of Warhol/SL can be clearer.
It is indeed a small component of a much larger project I’m working on for the NMC Campus. The finished work will contain video, sound and a space evocative of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable events but using the tools of Second Life to create a unique, virtual experience.
Thanks for your interest and comments.
