Artists of Second Life, we need you. We need you to bring your stuff - your art, your things (interpret freely!)! - to BiW.
We’ve had some amazing contributors over the last few weeks, but I really want to start diversifying who we talk about in the podcast, and start talking about some different people. Of course, in order to do this, those different people need to come over to our sim and leave us something so we can talk about it. It doesn’t really work otherwise.
Somebody sitting out there reading this has an idea in their head for some sort of project. They want to put it on the sim, but they haven’t yet for some reason. This is silliness! Step up! Bring us your work! We’re not all that mean! We will give you exposure for your work and it will get beamed into a serious NYC art gallery!
In the meantime, I submit to you, the creative population of SL, the first (of what I assume will be many) recruitment posts, this time in the form of a love letter:
Dear AM Radio,
I love you. I don’t know if it’s your sepia-toned-surrealism-by-way-of-David-Lynch-landscapes or your steam-punk-meets-art-history aesthetic, and frankly I’m not sure I care. Actually, I do care - I want to sit and ponder aloud what exactly it is that makes you so awesome. Your work is just so fucking hot.
I bumped into you this evening at DC’s Kiss the Sky exhibit and said something retarded like, “Nice plane!” My apologies. That was before I really knew… before I figured out who you are and what it is you make. And now, I want you to come and join us on the BiW sim, to leave us something totally mindblowing and earthshaking, so that we can trip over each other trying to talk about its amazingness. I want you to make all the other BiW artists jealous with your talent, which I assume just oozes out of you like nothing at all.
Creepily,
Amy Freelunch
I apologize for the bit about the oozing, but it’s a geniune call: If you know AM, if you think he’d even be open to doing something on our sim, point him our way! And then he and Amy Freelunch can have virtual babies together. It’ll be awesome.
What? Only new people get offers of marriage and sl babies!
