Tuna Oddfellow

What a name and what a presentation!  His work is marvelous and informative, there was no way I was that experienced to understand almost everything he had to say.

 The greatest thing to see from the artist is what he has created as an environment.  Wow it was like looking into a kaleidoscope and what i mean from that is that the surroundings became a kaleidoscope with movement....but after looking at it for a while you got some motion sickness.  Though everything was so amazing and maybe later in life I'll understand the full meaning of his work and his conversation.



It was amazing to meet these artist in their own environment, you can see their works in progress as well be able to talk to them, when in reality their miles and miles away.

For example this artist lives in Australia and is telling a story about her tribe who is suffering from the governments treatment. And in one of her works you see credit cards falling down from the sky; this work was to show that the Australian government was trying to make the tribes poorer than what they really ask for. It's amazing to see government go to greater lengths trying to make people go into debt without even noticing...like what we do here in the U.S, we make our poor poorer.

There are other places of the land that she traditionally revamped with her cultural tribe influence, they as well are amazing and beautiful!

Machinima

This was a really interesting lecture done by Pooky Amsterdam, we got the chance to hear her talk about the world changing by the using the media Machinima.

This art is a way to create electronic video, were its not just using RL people to perform on video but the avatars of those people to perform.  It was a revelation hearing that the medium is becoming bigger one step at a time!


Second Life has been an entertaining experience, going to different places in just seconds is mind blowing. Then being able to change your character into your alter ego or your "true self" is pretty awesome.

Today was great, I was able to take time to go off by myself to a relaxing world, I must admit it was one of the greatest places I have ever been too!  Though it was a bit laggy, there was no problem in traveling around the environment for a while.

Viewer Trouble

UPDATE


As previously stated, there was a problem trying to teleport....well the problem has been solved and there was an answer to it.  It's getting the Firestorm Viewer, but I'm guessing AT&T doesn't like the SL Viewer (that or their internet connection is bad).  Well at least I'm albe to teleport and find other places and photograph.

Here are a couple of the images I took at a place called Enchanted Forest.




P.S
On Wednesday, I got the chance to go to a museum and a lot of other places here you go....






A late night stroll in Second Life has made it a bit difficult....I wasn't able to teleport!  It was getting a bit boring staying around the campus. Though there might of been a glitch in the system, or something wrong with my internet connection, one thing I can say is that I was able to teleport to Miami Beach.  It was a relaxing moment and a well appreciated scenery; you can say a photographers dream.

I must admit, that it did bring a warm feeling while in "real" life it was dark and night!hahaha.
