Call for Artists: Share your art in SecondLife

[avad]

Call for Artists!
Participate in an interactive media arts symposium within the virtual world of Second Life!

Any art that can be translated and created within Second Life may be considered for installation; please inquire by email if you would like to share your work inworld. Groupings of 2D, 3D, video and interactive elements will be combined to tell stories on six major themes: Love, Peace, Beauty, Truth, Chaos, Wisdom. Performances and discussions around these common themes will bind us into new collaborations as we participate in these networks of creative illumination.

Over three days the NMC Campus will host seven forums on the structures of creative social networks building within these emerging new media. Sessions include:

*Better World Building: Real World Action
*Flow and Nurture: Creating Healthy Systems
*Organic Architectures and Sustainable Design
*Art and Energy
*NMC and the Collaborative Educational Community
*Social Interactives and New Networks
*Memory Palaces, Artifacts and Icons for the Future

Invited speakers and special features will be announced here as the calendar and list of participants grows.

comonnnnnn comonnnnnnn tryyyyy ittttt:)
Evonne wants me to help organize something/some speakers on memory palaces..you'd be perfect....and any of the other topics are open too! email her and see what exactly is required and what the deadline would be...I would think it's flexible...the main thing I would recommend is get inworld asap to create your (rokkitz or mnemo? I'd be more 'used to' rokkitz but the other is good too) avatar and spend a little time just getting used to moving about and such...takes a little time, there are tutorials and intros you can go through.

pssst... what does "speakers" mean?

[avad.livejournal.com]

probably something like this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nnoakes/366748015/) but maybe even something like this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/spinmartin/88402917/)...

not sure if Skype is needed or not....

Small world: I just got an email from Evonne about this via the mailing list for a new project we're both involved in.

smaller and smaller! will you consider participating?:)

Having yet to explore 2L beyond having ridiculous conversations with LL folks in IRC and at conferences, this might be a good opportunity to check it out in its best light.

I'd effectively be a newbie in the scene. Would you be my guide and introduce me to all the hottest chicasartists? :)

[avad.livejournal.com]

errrr..wow...well those are undoubtably Other parts of SL...all sorts of things go on -yes indeed...depends what you're there for...anything is possible..like in first life/RL....

and everyone is pretty 'hot' in SL I guess...in a box of barbie-dolls way......doesn't interest me much...but the gradual aggregation and evolution of real content...that's fascinating to watch and be a part of!

I'm still much more of an aerial observer of the phenomenom than a very active SLer....not inworld very much at all...but I can meet you in there if you'd like. check it out first and build your avatar... I'll be in sometime next week to work on an artwork and then of course for the NMConnect event!

oooh btw whatcha workin on? is it top secret? (ooooh I love top secret- except of course when I can't know or tell anyone about it)...

[resipisco.livejournal.com]

Yep ;), it's the top secret mission mentioned in the comments here.
