They are very sensitive and die when they reach a sim border or when touched by an avatar. “Weeping Angel” Monroe Jigsaw “Save a life” Kicca Igaly A mother who kills her son. What happens in the mind of a woman to reach such a gesture, an act against nature, accomplished by who gives life, who should protect … Little angels, I wish I had big arms able to tighten all, to give you affection and tenderness that you were denied … “Falling Within” Glyph Graves
As Arahan notes in his comment under the previous post, there’s a new podcast from Amy! This time she discusses works by Betty Tureaud and Oberon Onmura both onsite and offsite Brooklyn is Watching.

As Jay has posted below, the inaugural Newark is Watching podcast from the real life Gallery Aferro, with Jay speaking to gallery owners Evonne M. Davis and Emma Wilcox (a little bit of Emma at the end), is here (link). It’s really interesting so do take a few minutes to listen! Please add your comments and good wishes to the new Newark is Watching blog. There will be a sort of overlap, I guess (someone speak up now if this isn’t the case!), between the two blogs until June when Newark is Watching will take over completely from Brooklyn is Watching. I’m also guessing that a new inworld group will be formed for Newark is Watching inworld group notices and such.
A call for podcast participants to join the discussion from Gallery Aferro:
Newark is Watching is a succession, and usurpation project of Brooklyn is Watching, consisting of “mixed -reality” critiques in a virtual exhibition space with Second Life. The primary spaces are a square parcel of land (sim) in Second Life where artists are invited to leave their work for one week (when it is automatically returned) and a physical gallery installation consisting of a couch, a coffee table, a computer, and a fifty-two inch monitor that continuously presents the avatar’s view to gallery visitors. The avatar’s motion and communication can be controlled by visitors. In addition, there are two online forums for discussion, a blog which chronicles and comments on the work recently installed, and weekly podcasts where artists, art historians, gallerists and critics discuss the art and the issues it raises.
Brooklyn is Watching, conceived of by Jay Van Buren, executed as a collaboration with Boris Kizelshteyn and the Popcha! development team in February 2008, was a breakthrough relational art project that invited interaction between the two thriving art communities of Second Life and Williamsburg, Brooklyn accentuating the power relations between and among them. Over the course of the year, more than one hundred artists have left approximately four hundred works of art on the sim. This dynamic, uncurated exhibition space creates constantly changing relations between works of art that sometimes inter-relate or even intentionally intersect.
Anyone interested in participating can email niw(at)aferro.org
Two of the first tasks during the transition period are the design and creation of a new watchtower, the dominant feature of the virtual space, and the organization of a virtual crowd to pull down the old tower.

]]>chicken egg robot Betty Tureaud The Helical Wall Solo Mornington Look up. See the giant wall. It shifts colors. The Helical Wall is the result of experimentation with procedural objects. That is, each prim can figure out where it is in relation to other prims, and act upon itself based on this information. In this case, each prim understands its vertical position on a line between 0.0 and 1.0. Path cut and hollow are applied based on simple math having to do with this information.

We discuss pieces by: Azdel Slade, four Yip, Man Machinaga, and Robin Moore.
]]>In Episode 50 we are joined by the painter and writer, Mira Schor and the BIW sim is attacked by Rainbows! The colors… they burn… our eyes… We discuss works by Juria Yoshikawa, Arahan Claveau, Ichibot Nishi, Oberon Onmura, Kat2 Kit, Comet Morigi, Cheyenne Palisades and several others. The audio quality on this one has some problems- I had a setting wrong on the mic and didn’t realize it but i’ve managed to wrangle it into shape that I believe can be listeded to.
you can download the audio directly here
Or get it from iTunes
and also there is Feedburner

They talk about many of the things that we talked about in podcast 4 including Suburban Spring by Ichibot Nishi which got some good discussion going back and forth on the blog after some of us criticized it in the podcast.
This video I’m talking about is a really good way for people who are not in SL to see what its like to walk around and interact with the art work. ]]>
