Hi Garret,
A friend of mine ( Galen TechnoShaman ) is doing a lot of ART related installations on his OSGRID Region called Cyberbohemia. http://www.cyberbohemia.net/index.php?/pages/indexgallery.html For the OSG4B he is holding a special Birthday installation beween the 22.07 - 24.07 - called "Living picture" http://www.cyberbohemia.net/index.php?/archives/94-The-living-picture.html He will be happy if you drop by anytime. We were also talking to Artists in SL and also to the person that was running the NPIRL (not possible in Real Life) Blog but those Avatars told us that ART is more common in e.g. SL because of the "attention the artist gets" .. Or on those "commercial" opensimgrids where/whatever those are .. We than anyhow loosely formed the ANPOOG Group (Also Not Possible on Opensim Grids) but as we are both working on our regions and with lack of interested Avatars, this project is in 'snooze' state .. I also know of 2 other interesting avatars on OSGRID. In no specific order i would name Ruben Haan with his 'Kliederaar' region and that Cornflakes Woodcock Avatar with his brilliant, clownish-crazy 'Cornflakes' - Mad World Region and Sandbox. Memyself and I, do some kind of more visual things with textures and particles. So, If you ever are on the OSGRID, drop me or Galen a IM to get in touch with us .. As there is lot of space on the osgrid why not form a Continent of Art or a Art Cluster ? We would for sure spend some land or a helping hand for "poor" migration-willingly (SL) artists" ... best regards Wordfromthe Wise *You could also take a dose of Hypergrid pills and visit us ;.) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Garrett Lynch Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14. Juli 2011 14:41 An: [email protected] Betreff: [Opensim-users] Introduction Hi All Never really took the time to introduce myself and this list has been very helpful in setting up our OpenSim regions, I know the educators list (https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators) are keen on introductions - it's a good idea to see what people are doing. So for my part overdue, here goes... I'm an artist and an academic (in that order) and have migrated over from Second Life where I've been very active in the arts community. Most recently doing a residency" http://www.asquare.org/works/yoshikaze-up-in-the-air-second-life-residency (see links below for more on what I do). Interested in extending my practice into OpenSim - the whole Linden thing just annoys me, too costly and am a big supporter of anything opensource as I can get my hands dirty so to speak. Very hopeful about the future of OpenSim, and the approach of a post alpha version. But I'm also keen to bring my students into OpenSim. I've set up a four region space, search for: CCI Sandbox Sim CCI Gallery Sim CCI New Media Sim CCI Moving Image Sim The regions are ready but we are still working on getting the server to auto restart when it crashes so bear with us. They already have open access sandboxs and a gallery (similar to spaces in Second Life like Art Nation). There is an ulterior motive for all of this... What I am a little disappointed about is the lack of overall culture in OpenSim which is present in Second Life, from my point of view an arts community, running exhibitions, performances, symposium, workshops etc. Groups don't seem to be as successful as they are in Second Life and I've not come across any mailing lists for this - perhaps I'm totally wrong and somebody can point some out to me? Any artists on this list who are looking for a culture on OpenSim? Anyone who wants to start getting initiates together?
