Previz #71 – Everyone Loves an Avatar Parade
After the success of last week’s VB42 – Avatar Pride Parade, and yesterday’s VB43 – Animal Parade, we’ve had a flood of parade proposals! From Animal Parade dramaturge Trill Zapatero comes the Noob Parade and from long-time VB/CO art director Agnes Sharple comes the Tiny Parade and the Demo Parade! VB44 – Tiny Parade [...]
Previz #70 – Animal Parade
Our new dramaturge, Trill Zapatero was so inspired by VB42 – Avatar Pride Parade, that she immediately challenged us to do a new parade on Saturday 19 Jan ’13, an Animal Parade on the Sydney sim. Whether you’re an animal lover, an animal rights activist, an RP enthusiast, or just love to dress up, [...]
Previz #69 – In Freundschaft (Childhood Dreams)
Maybe it’s all these great diary posts Van has been doing on her grad school performances, but I’ve been thinking a lot (and missing) the creativity of my more creative years. Don’t get me wrong, I love the academic path I’ve taken, but sometimes I feel like there are way too many rules to obey [...]
Previz #68 – Avatar Pride Parade
CIRCUIT LA CORSE, MEEWALH SIM, SECOND LIFE MAINLAND, 9 August – Over the course of VB/CO’s history our performance works have covered a wide range of aesthetic and ideological territory, but it’s probably fair to say that they have moved generally from more scripted to more individualistic. In VB04 – Prism, for example, we all [...]
Previz #67 – Charlotte, Forever
As much as I love Marina Abramovic, Charlotte Moorman holds a special place in my heart. She did, after all, inspire me to pick up the cello at the tender age of 5 – yes, my mother is a total hippie lol. My first cello recital, to the dismay of my classmates and kindergarten teacher, [...]
Previz #66 – Pink & Blue
NEW NEW YORK, 5 June – I was reading a couple of posts by Avital Norman Nathman, When Boys Wear Pink, and Pink Scare. It’s hard to believe the whole pink & blue trope is still alive at such a late date. We’ve come so far. Facebook & Google+ notwithstanding, we’ve made so much progress [...]
Previz #65 – Close Encounters
NEW YORK – CHICAGO – SAN FRANCISCO – ACROSS ANY TABLE, 25 April – If art and life are tapestries, richly woven matrices of people and experiences, then from what far-flung sources come the fibers of these weavings? Is a monochrome better than a cacophony? Is the richness of our art, our lives, our culture, [...]
Previz #64 – Automattic’s Worldwide WP 5k
MILAN, 10 April – Automattic’s manager of VIP Global Services, Sara Rosso announced the 2nd annual WorldWide WordPress 5k run/walk today. Held between Monday 23 April and Sunday 29 April, this “real” run/walk event will be “virtual” in that it is not intended as a physical crowd all moving down a single street, but a [...]
Previz #63 – Strange Zeitgeists
SAN FRANCISCO, 11 April – In this Previz we imagine multiverse traveler Ironyca along with performance / new media artists / hacktivists Eva & Franco Mattes wearing lycra unitards or latex catsuits. Kind of a dance thing, kind of a BDSM thing. But definitely artists doing an identity art thing. With costumes. Wow! The idea for the Strange [...]
Previz #62 – Dance Anywhere
TRAFALGAR SQUARE, 30 March – Vaneeesa Blaylock / Company and Gallery Xue / London City will join in Dance Anywhere’s 6 continent dance moment at Noon PDT / 20:00 BST. Global event details are available now on the Dance Anywhere website and further details of the VB/CO participation will be available here in the next [...]
Previz #61 – Like a Prayer
TUMBLR, INC. 14 March — I hurt a friend this week. It wasn’t my intention, but it very much was my result. Give or take a couple depending on how you count, this is the sixth person I’ve hurt in the 3 years of my virtual life. The first 4 were all 2+ years ago, [...]
Previz #60 – Public Documents
KANDAHAR, 11 March – with the success of yesterday’s bombastic collaboration with Betty Tureaud, VB34 – Net / Work, I find myself unexpectedly asking, if Jeff Jarvis’ book Public Parts and Mary Kelly’s Postpartum Document collided at a busy Midtown Manhattan intersection, would the resulting mashup be Public Documents? Although I was lucky enough to [...]
VB Previz #59 – Polymorphic
So this previz isn’t exactly about Helmut Newton’s photograph Big Nude III, Paris 1980, or even about Newton himself, not exactly. I was looking at a book of Helmut Newton photographs, many from the 1980’s, and I found myself wondering which of his subjects were now dead. And Newton, himself, is of course, now dead. [...]
VB Previz #58 – Net / Work
VB31 – Demo Days was the brain child of Queen of Demo, Agnes Sharple. Then our gallerist Xue Faith had the inspired idea to invite kinetic / light artist Sledge Roffo to install a half dozen works at Gallery Xue / Palestine as a sort of landscape for our Demo performance. The compelling resonance between [...]
VB Previz #57 – Sugar Mountain
My daughter Xue is turning 20. This past half year has thankfully been a rather harmonious time for us, still I didn’t know if turning a milestone in her life into a performance artwork would be such a good idea. To my surprise, she asked me if we could do something. Xue’s aunt Trill mentioned [...]
VB Previz #56 – Cheer is Life
Aero Bigboots produced Ze Moo’s Rezday Party 2011… and then fell off the face of the virtual earth for much of 2011… but she resurfaced on Wednesday to wish Ze another happy rezday and attend his 2012 party. Although she left her pom-poms at home, Aero did wear her SLCS cheerleader uniform, and… she scared [...]
VB Previz #55 – Demo Days
Previz #55 / VB31 – Demo Days Saturday 21 January 2012 10am – Noon SLT 6pm – 8pm GMT Gallery Xue / Palestine http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Freedom%20Palestine/85/132/22 Our own Agnes Sharple has invented an event she calls “Demo Days.” Whenever we decorate or design our avatar… our physical “avatar” in the dressing room of a clothing shop… or [...]
VB Previz #54 – Natatorium
VB29 – Natatorium Saturday 17 December 2011 • 10am – Noon SLT • 6 – 8pm GMT Gallery Xue / London http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/London%20City/122/8/24 LONDON, England, 28 July 2012 — World records begin tumbling today in the quest for Olympic Gold at Zaha Hadid’s sweeping London Aquatics Centre. LONDON CITY, Virtual London, 17 December 2011 — In [...]
VB Previz #53 – Isomorphic
Isomorphic (1862) – being of identical or similar form, shape, or structure. In abstract algebra, an isomorphism (isos “equal” + morphe “shape”) is a kind of mapping between objects that shows a relationship between two properties or operations. If there exists an isomorphism between two structures, the two structures are said to be isomorphic. In [...]
