I continue my look at the Italian invasion of Brooklyn is Watching with this work by Gleman Jun. (I spoke to nessuno Myoo today; he tells me that he, Gleman Jun, Kicca Igaly, Maryva Mayo, shellina Winkler, Solkide Auer, and Zhora Maynard are all Italians and all friends.) The artist has a web site, OnlyOnePrim; it seems that he takes pride in making elaborate art using a simgle scripted prim. A mechanical translation of his philosophy: “Using a single prim to achieve a work is possible, it is sufficient to have creativity, passion, technical competence in many areas: texturing, scripting, building, shading… but beyond what the will to create a close link with the artistic RL.” The work being reviewed today appears to be changing both shape and texture under script control. I don’t see any of the rez problems that sculpted prims often have, so I’m guessing that it is not a sculpted prim.
To my eyes, the spirit Vulcano changes too quickly; it doesn’t stay in any one form long enough to appreciate, and it rapidly jumps from one shape to another shape that seems to have no connection to the previous one. The effect feels more like a random prim generator than art. But it is an interesting lesson on the variety of shapes that a single prim can take, and how textures change the appearance of a prim and the feeling it gives the viewer.
