Chaos reigns at Push as artists wonder if Newark is really watching. 1024×1024x256 Dancoyote Antonelli KOONSBALL! Rod Mandel LLifted LLader Misprint Thursday Brush Fire In Snow Corcosman Voom Regeneration — by Kicca Igaly — ICE COLD BLUE shellina Winkler Great Dodecahedron (large) – Flexi-hedra nand Nerd The Giant Deep Red Loop A Tribute To Zoe Keating by nessuno myoo The Giant Deep Red Loop – A Tribute To Zoe Keating A tribute to Canadian musician Zoe Keating. It ‘was a real shock. His way of expression through the use of the instrument is extraordinary. A mix of technology and live performance to serve the melody and harmony that arise by magic from his hands. This sculpture is an homage to her. His figure, his music, his art. Hephaestus Platonicator is a social sculpture by San Francisco artist DC Spensley who is also known as Dancoyote Antonelli in the virtual world of Second Life. Clicking the gold obelisk either deletes existing tetrahedrons or rezzes one above the obelisk. Click any face of the resulting tetrahedron and it will rezz another tetrahedron adjacent to that face. Like all Dancoyote social sculpture the Hephaestus Platonicator can be used individuallly or by a group, cooperatively or competitively. Enjoy! Hephaestus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus Platonic solid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid dc@dancoyote.com Special thanks to Nand Nerd who was engineer on the project. Thanks for visiting Newark is Watching, formlerly Brooklyn is Watching! -DC

Brooklyn is Watching tower tear down by Sowa Mai (link to video)
Saturday night, 19 June 2010, at 9:15PM ET (6PM SLT) the old IKB (International Klein Blue) tower, built by Popcha, with the big marquee proclaiming ‘Brooklyn is Watching’ was attacked, demolished, and taken over by the new Newark is Watching tower built by Solo Mornington. The insurgent event was to be viewed live in Gallery Aferro in Newark, New Jersey. The audience there were able to drive Monet Destiny, the everyman eyeball avatar who likes to watch, around to see the bit of native Second Life® there is on Push SIM. There was a good turnout and the evening ended with a series of poofs, bangs, tickles and flames.
Another version of the creation story for the Newark is Watching tower composed of a stack of precariously balanced shifting-hued cubes and its columnar logo pillar alongside in an interesting echo of Joseph Beuys and his 7000 Oaks : The old tower saw the new tower across the way and got so excited it jumped the distance to be one with the new NIW, proving once again then that love can build a bridge. Or a dream can cross a few bridges.
Which is true? Both! This art is about possibilities!
Oberon’s video (above) is of the journey from Jack the Pelican Presents in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to the Gallery Aferro in Newark.
