of Orfeo's Oratorio

ORFEO'S ORATORIO is showing in two fabulous new venues

From October 9 to 14 ORFEO will be included in the IMAGINE Festival produced by the Imagine Network on the mega-sim new UTSA campus. The theme of the Festival is "the future of weather," and the festival sim is divided into four islands representing the four seasons. SL's finest artists are installing their futuristic visions of the weather for each season. ORFEO, with its day/night, life/death , Upper World/Underworld theme, functions as the bridge between the seasons.

Opening on Friday October 9th, 2009 (John Lennon's birthday) at noon SLT.

On September 20th, Orfeo opened on NMC's Ars Simulacra island, which is devoted to exhibitions of the work of performing and creative artists of Second Life. Tayzia Abattoir is the curator of Ars. Music was provided by Joaquin Gustav. This is my largest, most detailed SL build to date, and to have it showing at Ars is a very proud moment for me.

Atelier Alizarin Has Moved

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lie/222/189/35

On August 1 Atelier Alizarin, my Second Life studio, moved to a sim called Lie. It is gorgeous mountainous land on a Linden highway along the ocean, somewhat reminiscent of California's Big Sur. An original mainland sim on an up-to-date server, the fabulous land textures, abundance of open space, and elegant builds make it a visual treat. The land includes a small water access near the highway for those who might like to put a boat in and sail new seas.

Atelier Alizarin attractions include:
**a very large interactive immersive art installation called Orfeo's Oratorio, loosely based on the idea of a cosmic amusement park (an NPIRL pick)
**immersive art and musical kinetics in Sky Studio Day and Sky Studio Night
**In the main gallery building: The Particularium on the third floor, RL digital drawings on the second, and 2-D digital collages on the first
**in the beautiful valley on the ground, a select showcase of immersive art


Please come visit - and then fly around the neighborhood. There is a volcano nearby!!

SUNRISE SUNSET in the SOLEIL show at ANGELGATE

Please come to the opening of SOLEIL at ANGELGATE on Saturday, July 11, at 10 am PDT. There are 36 artists in this spectacular show curated by White Lebed and almost every piece is a never-seen-before new build. I have reworked SUNRISE SUNSET into a cylinder with a domed roof, and I am very pleased with the result.
