Project Guernica at LEA6 to Open Tomorrow!

After a lot of work and endless efforts, Project Guernica is opening November 13 at 2pm SLT at LEA6 under the LEA Full Sim Art Series.

The intention of re-creating this masterpiece in Second Life comes from the love for the original mural itself and what it represents. Painted in black and white, it depicts the horrors of war, unfortunately still as updated as it was back then.

After a lot of thought and experimenting with external 3d software, a decision was made; this installation would be built in prims, as an exercise of the possibilities that LEA has given us.

Featured in the Destination Guide, the LEA and UWA websites, this piece is a tribute to Picasso and his extraordinary work.

Drop by LEA6 and enjoy!

SECOND LIBATIONS. The Grand Finale

GRAND FINALE for SECOND LIBATIONS FULL SIM ART EXHIBIT

The time has come to begin preparations for the End of the World... 2012 is upon us. Second Libations will not simply be packed away on Dec 31. No way! Every stage of an exhibit is an opportunity to create something new. So a dramatic climax is in the cards.

The bots offer a final prayer, a ritual to the heavens asking for rejuvenation. Will they succeed?

The lm will take you to the audience platform, where you will be moderately safe, in case of flying debris.

TIME AND PLACE:

DAY: Saturday, DEC. 31, 2011

TIME: 2 pm SL time

CLICK HERE FOR TRANSPORT:

Please come to the audience platform by 2 pm SLT. You may arrive earlier to get a last look at the exhibit. I will be making preparations for an hour before the performance begins. My IM window will be closed as I ready the sim, so if you would like to contact me, please send a notecard which I can read after the event.

Chic Aeon > CHAINED

Click here to watch Chained

In Chic's films, grays become vivaciously delicious. Her lines of poetry recount ageless wisdom. In "Chained", a serious question is asked, one that is rarely heeded. Is the young man in the film capable of answering? Are you?

Jjccccc uses Second Libations as a canvas, dazzling the screen with awesome added color and blending effects. Chopped into a hundred snippets, he composes a film collage that addresses the overlapping of time.

Full sim art exhibit: Second Libations by Haveit Neox

What if all life disappeared from the Earth’s surface? Could the virtual world of the bots persist?

Now on view, during the month of December, is my exhibit "Second Libations". The Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) and the University of Western Australia (UWA) have granted me this opportunity to create a full sim artwork. I've included links below with photo essays about Second Libations so that you may get an instant glimpse of it.

GRAND FINALE:

As mentioned before, there will be a dramatic end to Second Libations on New Year's eve, Dec 31. The year 2012 issues in at that moment... is it really the end of the world? Come see. I will post the exact time the adventure begins, but for now, to try to accommodate as many time zones as possible, the show will probably be set at 2 pm, SLT. (SL time is Pacific Standard Time). You may want to be there, and bring your camera :)
