Amazing Art Show at the LEA Sandbox this week

^^ my "Requiem for Fukushima Daiichi" at the LEA Sandy

I usually reserve this blog for blowing my own horn, but I am so impressed with the number and quality of the art pieces rezzed at the Linden Endowment for the Arts Sandbox this week, and I know there is just no way that what I want to say will fit into a tweet - so read it here it :)

I would also like to mention the two pieces that most interested me. Artee (Artistide) has a geometric called AD_GrandeMain (Big Hand) clawing it's way out of the ocean. Disembarking from it like an endless stream of immigrants are particles of Artee's avatar ( I think they are particles) - very clever! Mimo Vacano, someone I am not familiar with, has 5 Kaleidoscope builds that do beautiful morphing textures reminiscent of early Glyph Graves, a real pleasure to look at. Thank you, Mimo!

And thank you to Linden Lab for providing this outlet for Second Life artists.

Requiem for Fukushima Daiichi Machinima

A machinima about my immersive art installation "Requiem for Fukushima Daiichi" has just gone up on YouTube. Made in collaboration with my husband, Alfred Ajami, it documents the art, a dramatic build of sinister beauty inspired by the nuclear catastrophe in Japan.

The installation opened Saturday, April 30, in Second Life in the Sky Sculpture Garden at Atelier Alizarin, where it will remain on semi-permanent exhibition. Slurl:

Please feel free to visit anytime.

You can read a thoughtful post titled "Hope in Art" by the incomparable Persia Bravin here http://www.chromeneversleeps.com/ Something else auspicious just occurred to me - my "Requiem" is installed in Tenshin-En, my virtual Japanese garden modeled on a RL Japanese garden at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The name, engraved in Japanese characters on the wall behind the stage, means "Heart of Heaven." So the nuclear disaster is cradled in the peace and beauty of the Heart of Heaven.

And these posts from Malburns Writer, who I swear - along with Chrome - never sleeps!
