New Video Release:
Okukin Okukin is a short, 9'23" video created from my recent work in Second Life. There is a narrative among objects, slabs, planets, voices, bodies, and images, some old, many new. The objects themselves have been created for Okukin, which is filmed using the Beta 2 Second Life viewer release, in order to take advantage of a number of new features. The video opens on a scenic pouring-forth which changes in a few seconds to planet surfaces and constructions which defy the laws of gravity, opening on occasion to untoward vistas. The rest of the video develops these vistas through symbolism and spoken or sung narrative that tends towards a future anterior. The second video is a short test of emissions that wasn't used in the final production, but is of great interest itself. Perhaps I am becoming too literal; perhaps I am disappearing in these works, which always seem on the verge of emergence, but never quite coalesce into Being. I hope to show this work at the June ELO conference in Providence, and elsewhere of course. Participants, witting and unwitting, include Foofwa d'Imobilite, Blue Carter, Kira Sedlock, and myself. Thanks to Fau Ferdinand as well, for the use of the land in East Odyssey, as well as Lizsolo and a number of people who helped with scripting. http://www.alansondheim.org/Okukin.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/testrelease.mp4 (Please note, because of space limitations, some older work had to be taken down from the website.) _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
