I have no idea, but I like where it’s going… is there a (mini)history of set-up photography in SL ala Gregory Crewdson/Cindy Sherman that I am totally unaware of? Oh man, I hope so. That would be awesome.

Patrick Lichty here, AKA Man Michinaga of SF.

This is a weird one, because the performance is SF, but I sort of claim the photo. You can fine the performance/gallery video on youtube.

However, I’ve been making an “old Masters” series for a while, and this was the first. I created a 30m backdrop from scratch in Maya, then I created the dais in front, Everyone got in place and we did a few takes, this being the best. Gaz was a perfect Christ figure, and I am in the Judas slot.

In the performance, everyone suddenly began expelling wine/blood and projectile-d while standing on the table. I’ve stopped interpreting it, as it’s one of the most complex and evocative pieces we ever did.

It also exists as a 6′ oil, 500 signed postcards that we are trying to get in the monastery’s giftshop (gaz lives a kilo from there in Milan), and an edition of 6′ inkjets. I would like to try a large lightjet and a rasterbator print before retiring the image.

Currently, Gazira and I are working on a new series called “7-UP”, 12 performance videos and a print series.
