FlowerBall - An interactive art thingy



This gorgeous show - definitely Not Possible IRL - opens to the public on Saturday but the creator, our own Douglas Story, is letting us preview now. What does it feel like to visit a flower as a bee or a hummingbird? While that isn't the stated intention of the show, I believe this is the closest we are going to come to that experience. * Read the notecard upon arrival as you should change your settings to enjoy fully. * And hey, it's on the usually not open-to-public and way cool Princeton sim.

Dutch Ding Dong!



Three guesses what we Dutch like to build in SL... that's right; windmills! Dutch artist Edo Paulus (Edo Autopoiesis in SL) has built a "sound composition" that uses SL wind to generate sound from windmills. The result is not exactly punkrock, (more like indonesian gamelan) but I'm sure some of you hippies might enjoy. I like it for how it looks and works. Nifty stuff. Pick up the notecard that explains how it works and go take a ride.

Windmills!

P.S. I'm just mad about Tooter's absurd avatars. His Brunhilde viking-operatic-singer is the only "other" avatar I have ever donned. - Bettina

Chime Desoto's Private Changing Room



Cool freebie time! And definitely Not Possible IRL.

One of our members and a first-rate coder, Chime Desoto, created the attached Changing Room for newbies about a month ago. Rez, sit, and it checks for a private place in the sky and zooms you up there, into a little room where you can stand in your skivvies in peace. Well, it may have been conceived for newbies, but yours truly depends on this item nearly every single day. Chime tells us that he has plans to make a retail version of this item. Enjoy!

Contact me if you missed out on this and want your copy of Chime's gizmo.

Exhibit A - Gazira Babeli - the Odyssey Project

Gazira Babeli - See her coding-meets-the-arts work at the Odyssey Project and allow her to confuse, disturb, and totally crack you up. Take friends. Interact with everything, but be warned... save the chairs on the wall for last unless, of course, you have a twisted sense of humor.
