Inworld Review Nov. 6th- With Mal Burns. Featured Guests: Karima Hoisan & Dale Innis

Fame! :) Try not to listen to the parts where I talk, because I sound nervous and kind of doofy. Maybe I should claim I was using a voice Morpher!

But thanks as usual to Karima for making and posting this clip; enjoy!

Digital Rabbit Hole

Hi everyone,
I am excited to share with you a 30 minute version of Inworld Review that was filmed live yesterday. Inworld Review is made weekly and is the definitive media talk show for all that is virtual on The Open Simulator grid (which is basically all virtual worlds outside of Second Life.
The actual show, created and hosted by Mal Burns with co-host, Thirza Ember was two hours long.
I tried to show some highlights of our talk.. Both Dale and I were honored to be invited as special guests. I have included the clips of what we discussed and I hope you will enjoy watching snippets of the show.
Mal & Thirza are very well-known and loved in the virtual hypergrid community.
Thank you again for featuring our collaborations in this area. It was great fun to be on:)
Enjoy!!

AI Dreams in Goth-Mini-Installation for Halloween

A very neat mini-experience based on my AI art (and I helped!).

Digital Rabbit Hole

A small guessing game.. What does the picture depict?
1. A large ottoman for couch watching videos?
2. A feathered cookie jar with a built in radio?
3. An entire Goth multi-media experience, wrapped up and ready for transport?
If you picked 3….you are right on the money!!

This is our contribution (AI artist Dale Innis) and yours truly to a fabulous, multi-media mini set of our AI Goth exhibit that I have been writing about a lot lately:)  This might be the last post on the subject and then…back to poetry:)
Here is our event poster to announce our participation..made by Dale.
This is a video I made last night, before Dale cleverly transported the whole
show and dropped it down, where it will form part of a big Virtual Party.
Fullscreen please and a good headset:) Music by Indus from”The Dead Can Dance”

The whole enclosed set finally…

AI Dreams in Art is Here!!

I realize I haven’t posted here in like a million years :) mostly because I’ve been doing other things, and haven’t quite thought of anything to weblog about in the virtual worlds. But now I’m here to reblog this post from Karima Hoisan, who did me the great honor of curating some of my RL creations into the virtual, with a wonderful Kitely build. Go, read, visit, enjoy!

Digital Rabbit Hole

On August 1st, it all started with one prim, a texture and an idea for my 21st world On Kitely – Virtual Worlds, completely inspired by the enormous quantity of AI Art,
Dale Innis was producing.

Dale had been dabbling with AI Art programs for months and the results were interesting, at times creepy and unsettling… but this new program, *MidJourney, was absolutely amazing!! (more about the program at the end)
I was moved to create spaces and divide up his art into genres that could be enjoyed in immersive appropriate places. I am so happy he loved the idea and very much got into even building a few galleries, himself.
All paths lead to somewhere..Pick one and see where it takes you:)
Maybe hang out at a Hippie Campsite, see somePsychedelic Artand listen
to The Youngbloods.
*Disclaimer, an AI has never had a psychedelic experience….and its art…

The River of Forgetting-Featuring Silas Merlin’s Funerary Ship for Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge 2017 -Art of The Artists

Seems like I have mostly forgotten I have this here weblog. :) But I will again reblog one of Karima-and-Natascha’s amazing machinimas, to which I had the pleasure of contributing some scripting. Click “view original post”, watch and enjoy!

Digital Rabbit Hole

Where to begin?

I think I will begin by showing you our movie:) This is the 25th collaboration for Randt & Hoisan,also known as The Team:) Please enjoy it in HD and Fullscreen and then if you are interested in a bit of the history on making it.. keep  reading below.

I could write a book about the making of this movie..but I think I’m too lazy; nevertheless, there are things that need to be said about this one..for the record and just to look back on years from now and remember the trials and errors and breakthroughs and near breakdowns we all lived through while making it.

I have revisited some of my other posts about our entries for the UWA and it seems I am always saying..that this one or that one was the most complicated etc etc, but objectively, I think “The River of Forgetting” wins that…

“The Changes Changes” A Randt & Hoisan Production

Yet another Randt and Hoisan production that I contributed to with some scripts and other small ways. I definitely recommend watching it; all of this team’s stuff is great, but this is great even by that standard.

Digital Rabbit Hole

This is our 20th collaboration!! It’s something we want to celebrate with all of you too!
(Clinks her glass against Natascha’s..Here’s to many more, my creative partner!!)

Only 5  years after we started thinking about  doing “The Changes Changes”  and 8 months spent in production (only;) we can finally say it’s finished and  send it out to the world today:) As I said to Natascha a few times during this process, “What were we thinking?  This poem was a very complicated,  and visually very hard, to turn into a film..We had to make sure we had the same vision, to even attempt it, and  as luck and  more than luck would have it,we did have the same vision.. for almost every scene. I guess that is why this one is #20!!. We have and are still garnering experience as collaborators and have many videos behind us now, to draw…

Rise Now, Glorious Fairelanders, Warriors All…RISE

Which is to say, FANTASY FAIRE TIME! :) The FF is one of those things that I love SL has, and that (especially when I’m enjoying one of those lingering RL “head cold” things) I’m glad lots of people besides me actually do. As always, v good friend Michele has extensive and unique reporting on the event, with lots of great pictures and links and things. Be more energetic than me, and experience it all! :)

Fantasy Faire 2016 Sims Open at 9 a.m. SLT 4/21…I’m so excited I posted a bit early!

A swirling glow morphs into a misty updraft.

“‘Tis time,” the Pale White Elf whispers.  She moves her ombre gray eyes slightly and looks into the rich amethyst eyes belonging to the svelte and Richly Chocolate Muse next to her.  “True this,” the gorgeous Muse replies and nods her forehead, softly fluttering the petals along her floral crown.  “‘Tis time,” she echoes, smiling deeply.  The Pale White Elf smiles in return and then together, they rise.

They sing a call to arms, a song cradled in urgent love. Their voices now raised passionately aloft.  Song at once seducing and trumpeting the Purple Mists, an irresistible appeal to all who dare to hear and dare to care:

Ye of Passion, Ye of Soul

Ye Gladiators of Commitment, Ye Warriors of Known

Intertwined.  Interbeing.  Melded…

In Your Head

I did some of this! It is very cool! :D

Digital Rabbit Hole

So, wouldn’t it be fun (I thought) if someone could make a Giant Head that we could divide into Left Brain-Right Brain and take our visitors for a ride? Whenever I have odd sculpting requests, (like a horse’s rear-end:) I always call on my favorite weird sculptor, RAG Randt

Thanks RAG for this Awesome- Sim-Wide Mesh Head!

So you can get an idea of the size, that bothersome tiny mosquito about to land on the bridge of his nose, is really, yours truly. And here is another shot:

Then I asked my scripter friend, Dale Innis, a very much Left Brain kind of guy, if he would be interested in collaborating again on this, my newest and 9th world
on Kitely – Virtual Worlds on Demand. He said, “Sure!” and after a rather slow start (a year ago) today, we proudly present it to the public. Come visit and take…

Invitation To A Very Unique Opening~Thursday Feb.13th 2pmslt

I will probably be on a train during this, and my #$(*& computer will probably still be broken, but you can go! :) (Maybe I will try Lumiya from the train; what could go wrong?)

Poster and Photo by Natascha Randt

Last November Nat and I were invited to participate with other machinima makers in an opening at the Artemis Gallery by Duna Gantentitled, “Regaining Freedom-The Opening” Our video,Window on a Train, was chosen as one to highlight the theme of violence against women.
Now, Thursday, February 13th at 2pmslt, there will be a new opening, something very different, and both Nat and I are extremely honored, excited, and very curious too, as we will not peek before it opens.

Live Poetry by Karima – Tom Waits on Music…A Magical Mix! Sat. Feb.1st 2pmslt

(I get to help change the background images1 :) )

Digital Rabbit Hole

I want to extend a very special invitation to my readers, neighbors, friends and those who love their poetry mixed up with an open-ended 100% (Dj’d by the poet) Set of Tom Waits tunes. If that sounds like a good idea to you, then please join me on:
When: Saturday Feb. 1st
Time: Karima is on stream from 2pmslt-2:30 ( give or take a few minutes)
            Tom Waits marathon begins right afterwards.
I will be taking requests, dedications, and reading some interesting quotes from Tom in between the music. Anyone who says stuff like this, needs to be periodically quoted:

“Most people don’t care if you’re telling them the truth or if you’re telling them a lie, as long as they’re entertained by it.” Tom Waits

All this will be taking place at my new-old Bar:
Kari’s Bar and Dance in New Toulouse Second Life.

“Binge and Purge” an installation by Kristine Schomaker (Gracie Kendal)

zomg!

The Gracie Kendal Project

I have a new project. Did I tell you??? I recently received a virtual land grant, equal to $1500 USD for 5 months, in the 3D online virtual world of Second Life. In this space, I am going to create a huge conceptual installation called “Binge and Purge” by emptying out and deleting EVERYTHING from my inventory (virtual closet/life). I have been a resident of Second Life for almost 7 years, so there are a lot of memories. Since the virtual space is limited with how much I can set out (rez), I am going to replace objects every 2-3 weeks until I have nothing left. I mean EVERYTHING will be gone. After this 5 month ‘performance’ the only things I will have left are the clothes on Gracie’s back.

Imagine, in your real/physical life, if you got rid of (purged)  everything you own; your car, your home, your books, music, computer, phone, furniture, heirlooms, art…
