What is wrong with this picture?

April 29, 2021
Perfectly serious question that relates to an actual picture. Not a metaphor or anything. Look at the picture above. What do you see? It is a screen grab from an interview with Mike Gunton, the producer of the latest David Attenbo…

My city is Istanbul

July 19, 2019
I may have found a way to put my street photos to some use. Not in terms of creativity, or design. I still have no ambitions or confidence in that regard. But there is something else that has been bugging me for ages, and there …

Going back to minimal?

November 28, 2018
While I was putting together images for the  new ShapeShifter 2012 site  I re-rezzed some of the stuff that was on that sim in order to photograph it  (yes, don't ask - I was inexperienced and silly enough not to have made an …

Self Evaluation in SL

November 06, 2018
The new island is more or less done. It looks OK, but it is nothing like what I achieved with Fool's Gold in 2015. The dark sky level is probably the best part visually speaking, and the ground level seems to work, if not en…

Arcadia's avatars...

November 04, 2018
As I wrote before I have used Arcadia Asylum's prims for many builds. Fool's Gold, the best sim I think I ever built was made almost entirely out of them, and this new one has quite a few as well. I am a big believer in …

Midnight Wastes

November 01, 2018
I have gone back up to the towers that I had started to build a few weeks ago. But, like most of what I do, things did not go quite as planned and I ended up adding things that I had not thought of when I was first thinking abou…

The crazy cat lady parlor

October 29, 2018
A while ago Eupalinos Ugajin gave me the sofa as a gift. And I was so delighted that I immediately rushed out to get the matching arm chair and put together a special parlor for cat lovers on the island.

I have decided to build a playground

October 28, 2018
From the sky tower city, which I am leaving alone for now, I have moved to ground level to put together an amusement park of sorts. Ferris Wheel, carousel, bumper cars, some rides and a shooting gallery. Or rather a grab-a-duck …

But, it isn't just the gold

October 17, 2018
I am finding it quite hard to rebuild the island. Nothing seems to work quite how I want it to. And the truth of the matter is that the island that I built 3 years ago is probably the best thing I have ever made in Second Life a…

Decapoda goes to the Forest

November 27, 2012
From the very first time that I heard it as a child I have had strong (almost gut) feelings concerning the tale of Little Red Riding Hood: I was horrified by the killing of the wolf. Inconsolable, in fact – to the point where my…

The Tales of Ruysch

March 08, 2010
It would probably never have occurred to me to construct the nonsensical/non-linear web tale which I am cobbling together out of virtual imagery and Shakespeare's quotes and sonnets, had it not been for the pose library whic…

Confronting bogeymen...

August 31, 2009
Recently I have made two things. And I am realizing that with both of them I am actually confronting fears or in the case of one of them, if not fear itself a very strong repulsion.

The avatars of alpha.tribe

August 06, 2009
Something I was going to add the other night and then forgot to do. Or rather, I could have done so obviously, even after posting the thing but then chose not to after all. This seems significant enough for a separate entry: My…

A feeling of not belonging

November 28, 2008
Dedicated to the anonymous reader of this blog... ... There is a woman playing the piano. You probably cannot hear the notes but you see her from far away. She is playing Claire de Lune. It takes a long time for the notes to emer…

Narrative

June 03, 2008
There is something wrong with contemporary art. People have gotten killed for saying less, but I'm saying it anyway. And I have been thinking this way for ages too; in endless wanders around Biennials, taking in video loops …

The Shadow

June 02, 2008
So, what happened to the story? The fairy tale, the "maerchen"? When did narrative become so "un-cool" then? I think it happened in the aftermath of the second world war, after humanity came too close to the …
