Creating art works from ADHD

The exhibition The Art Of Living in.adHD, by DeCarlo Maximus FitzGerald (or Reddee Hian), is a door not exactly to ADHD itself, but to a way of understanding the world, feeling it and expressing oneself under the influence of that mental condition. It opened on October 1st, in The 22 Art Space, in Bellisseria, and […]

Duet is an exhibition that combines pairs: two photographers, couples of images and geminate ideas. It features Evie and Dutch Ireman and runs from today, October 2nd, until December 11th at The 22 art space, in Bellisseria.

There’s still time to check the exhibitions at SL16B (and enjoy some pictures)

One of the most interesting aspects of the Second Life birthday celebrations has been the community exhibitions, and checking the ones prepared for SL16B may become a fun time for visitors at the event. It’s particularly important, I’d say, because it reminds us of how the use of SL can be a creative one. After […]

How a celebration of the spooky season became an opportunity to resist neofascism

In the beginning of October, I received a message from Mireille Jenvieve-Woodford, inviting me to take part in The Mad Masquerade, a series of activities at Ce Soir Arts, in Second Life, from this Saturday, October 20, to November 20, to celebrate “the spooky season”. I felt honored to be offered a chance to contribute […]

Music made visual mobilizes even those who can’t hear it

I’ve been recently invited to contribute with some pictures to Mix Tape, an exhibition at LEA 11 that opens today, Sept. 30, in Second Life, with a party at 12 pm SLT featuring DJ Kaj Juutilainen. The somewhat chaotic installation built by Souix for LEA translates music into a visual representation that sends visitors into […]

The Photo Game turned into an exhibition in SL: how many words is an image worth?

The Photo Game, a post on this blog in which Boudicca Amat and I commented on each other’s pictures, has become an exhibition in SL – with new images and a twist: now visitors can share their comments, too. The exhibition opens on Friday, Feb. 17, and runs for one month at the gallery located […]

Acquire the works of great artists and help fighting cancer

During my Second Life existence, I’ve got involved with a few projects – some more useful than others, I have to confess. Among them, one that has touched me more deeply is the current activity I’m dedicated to: a photo exhibition and auction in benefit of Relay For Life of SL. I was insecure at […]

Interview with the vampires (and lycans, humans…)

To be part of a family, to belong, to build a community – this repertoire seems to describe the driving force for those who have joined Possidete Nocte, a horde in SL that gathers gay and bisexual male vampires, lycans and humans. Choosing among those forms of being, Possidete Nocte’s members apparently identify themselves according […]
