video looks great btw, beth

Yes Beth the video is pretty cool. It certainly shows why so much is misunderstood with some of the work. Juria’s piece in the sky does have sound, you have to react with the work to hear it, the Tattingstone Box is interactive too, those white glow rectangles recede away from you as you approach, opening up the space as you enter and closing you into the box as you go further in. Most artists who visit the sim know this, because we mainly all walk around the site. This is why I’m really banging away at my suggestion that a avatar, not a eyeball. should visit the sim pre-podcast, so the work can be understood more fully.

The note card you got was produced by a sensor scan, not so cool to use, some residents regard them to be similar to spam and as you experienced it doesn’t necessarily indicate which work it is.

‘Go back to real life’ is a project you set for your own real life students Jay! maybe they should get a extra credit for this now or not?

NB The Bunnyken ‘naughty’ video by Arahan can still be seen at Arthole, Kress.

I know it was hard to visualise everything on such a busy sim, but my WHAAM! graphic came with it’s own jet fighter which fired a missile, and I had placed a note card giver explaining the reasoning for it being there, but I’ll just say it was a collaboration with Penumbra, she did all the work building the jet.

You look flushed Jay, I wonder why?

Video podcasts are awesome, but you should set the camera on a tripod Beth, because not only would it give your arms a rest but it’s the camera in SL that needs the attention. It’s cool to see the introductions of the panel but after that it could be set in one position, facing the screen.

Bunnyken is an ambiguous character, apparently buoyant and joyous, yet there is something menacing behind the shiny, plastic veneer. Nebulosus might come here and give you some more background on the piece at BiW, but she wrote an explanation on her blog last week.

The porno Bunnyken video Beth mentioned , is part of the installation XXX PRIVATE SHOW by myself and Neb, and it’s on display right now on level 2 of the Arthole gallery. Full instructions given in a notecard upon arrival.
Teleport here.

Enjoyed the video and the conversation of the work this week. The handheld camera didn’t really bother me. The timer rule was kind of annoying though since Jay’s comment on my work got cut short. I’d like to suggest an amendment to that rule that if a person is in the middle of making a point, he or she completes it within a brief time. Jay, would love to hear your ideas on what makes the tunnels more interesting than this week’s piece.

For those who haven’t seen the work with your sound turned on or who didn’t physically enter the piece to trigger the sounds I made this video of Drips and Drops: http://juriayoshikawa.blogspot.com/2009/03/drips-and-drops.html Enjoy. – JY

I really, really like the video version of the podcast and I think you ought to do it every week if at all possible. It’s MUCH more interesting that way, particularly to people who may not be familiar with SL.

Thanks for featuring Bunnyken this week! I thought it might be fun to leave another Bunnyken project at BIW in honor of the first art I ever rezzed here, ‘Bunnykenball,’ which was about a year ago exactly. I appreciated all the comments, some of them were quite funny, hehe. Thank you also, Jay, for mentioning ‘XXX Private Show’ and ‘Orientation.’ Both were very rewarding collaborations. I would personally love to recreate ‘Orientation’ again at some point to give more people a chance to experience it firsthand! It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too.

Arahan is absolutely right; Bunnyken is, and is meant to be, an ambiguous figure — both campy and creepy, harmless yet somehow threatening. His saccharine qualities are intentional in every way.

Someone in the podcast described Bunnyken as being “buoyant in its joyousness,” and that’s exactly what I had in mind as I built this piece, so I’m glad those concepts and emotions were conveyed. As Arahan mentioned, I posted about it in my blog, in this post: http://chromotive.blogspot.com/2009/03/new-piece-at-brooklyn-is-watching.html

My most recent Arthole Radio show was planned with ‘Bunnyken In La-La-Land’ in mind, too; the music I selected was meant to accompany it. The archive of my show can be found here, if you care to listen: nebulosus_mar.25.2009.mp3

Oh, I think I’ll put out a balloon dispenser at BIW, so that anybody who wants a bright pink Bunnyken-head shaped balloon can have one!

Hey Gang,
The sim has turned upsidedown since last podcast (a good sign that everyone has been taking their art vitamins). I wanted to share with you some photos and a video of my recent work I made on the sim titled “Metagumbo Filmscape”. It had a very film feel to the experience.

Jay, congratulations on your marriage! I wish you a lifetime of wedded bliss!

Roy Lichtenstein did make the illusionistic aluminum House sculptures, one of which was on the roof of the Met and now resides on a grassy knoll in Atlanta, as well as the painting Whaam! in the Tate Collection that Dekka and Penumbra reference so nicely with their jet fighter.

P.S. — I forgot to say “congratulations” on your wedding, Jay! Best of luck to you and your new wife.

One weird thing, I made a longer post a couple of days ago, and there is a bit of text at the end of it saying that my comment is awaiting moderation, so I’m not sure if that means that nobody else can read it but me… I never remember having to wait for my comments to be approved before, is that something new?

Hi Neb, if the post was made in this thread, I’m not seeing it.

I tried to post my original post a second time and it just isn’t going through.

Maybe someone will approve the one I already submitted. I have no idea why it would require moderation. I give up.

Left by nebulosus.severine on April 1st, 2009

i think that the spam filter kicks in under certain circumstances (might have to do with length and or number of links) and makes comments wait for moderation – Neb your comments were both in moderation limbo so i just approved them both- figured you could delete one if you wanted to – sorry for the delay! and this is an interesting conversation- i want to dive into it but first i must finish some web design mockups for a client before the time I promised they’d be done… (why didn’t i say they’d be done tomorrow?)
