TARP WRAPPED MOUNTAIN

 

'The Wild West' of Mainland, the Color Sims with +/- 40 meter 'terraforming' abilities (the oldest regions in SL). Old prim builds (some 2002), some parcels with partly returned objects and floating objects. (Not all is aesthetically pleasing) but for sure an important part of SL / VR from a historic point of view. 

'Tarp Wrapped Mountain' is a 'Tongue in Cheek' ASMR (Art) Installment I made for (new) residents passing through Oldest parts of Sansara. Mostly a prim based build on a tiny 300 sqm parcel. 

Requirements; 'Advanced Light model, Shared Environment, and Sound.

OPENING ART EXHIBIT @ GBTH 23 • 05 • 2021

An invite to a collaboration at the GBTH a community gateway program from Second Life with a similar format as my NEUBAU project but on larger scale. 

"Ed. Colonia is a group art exhibition and the first of its kind at the GBTH.
The idea behind Ed. Colonia was exploring further the format of group exhibitions, preserving each artist's individuality as we occupy a common space. No theme has been suggested, since the limitations of the apartments were restraining enough. Each floor, inhabited by a different artist, is an exhibition on its own. The lack of front doors encourages the visitors to walk inside and explore................"

KOWLOON CHAIR FESTIVAL


I have joined the Kowloon's 3D Chairfest 2 in the Kowloon Region in Second Life (Virtual world). 

Kowloon's Gate is a videogame set in the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, and considered a cult hit.

There are many creative variants, and almost all chairs are free. My image used for the Kowloon (Eames Molded Fiberglass) chair was selected by Flickr for the explore category.

SELF SERVICE STAGE

 ____________________________

Spring of 2021 [CLOSED]

____________________________


I started with a new smaller scaled project in the middle of Bay City - Docklands. This is situated near the Hau Koda airport & info Hub in a reasonable active region.

"The goal is to give performers a place to exchange knowledge, and offer a podium for their creativity."





Artists have the option to use a stream for practice, rehearsal or performances and to announce their activities through the Coasters Crew group. 

INSTRUCTIONS

By landing a notecard will be given with instructions & TOS in the following languages: English, Japanese, French, German, Portuguese and Dutch. By joining the group you can announce your event to other people in 'The Coasters Crew'.

SELF SERVICE STAGE

The stage can be used for any performance e.g. music, busking, poetry, soapbox, dance and comedy. By walking onto the stage a dialog menu will show to enter your personal URL to play your music. The stage will automatically take your profile picture in the frame in front of the stage, which is as well a tip jar for people to tip you for your performance.

THE COASTERS CLUB

 ________________________________________________________

The Summer of 2020 - Closed 25 September 2020
'A stay at home project
during covid-19.'
 ________________________________________________________

MAY 2020
I started a project "The Coasters Club" just before the Summer of 2020 which will be remembered by many for staying at home due Covid-19. This project was a Dutch inspired Landscape, a small European seaside country that lies below sea level.         
"I wanted to offer a place were one could feel a moment of endless space, feel relax and cool off in this waterlandscape." 
In real life the Netherlands is not flooded as shown in Second Life, the country has one of the most sophisticated anti-flood systems in place then anywhere in the world.

The tram running in the middle of the region was inspired by the Anime 'Spirted Away' from Hayao Miyazaki. Which was symbolized by the Dosojin next to the main station when you landed on the platform. 

JUNE / JULY 2020
Opening this region to the public when it was finished, it got selected as Editors Pick which generated a lot of traffic on the homestead with many funny moments, kind gestures and 'Not So Secret Dairy' submissions.
