Trans-Sansara Causeway Update

 

 There's nothing new at the islands that are the remaining places for the Trans-Sansara Causeway since ourlast update on Friday. But there is one change on the map a number of sims to the south. The Whatever islands look a bit different from last week, with sections being colored. What the different colors mean is not yet known.

 

Stay tuned for more information.

Cartoon of The Day: Glow In The Dark Lion

 

 Taken at Club Lion. While there, I noticed one guy who looked like some glow in the dark paints blew up on his head and jacket. He explained he was usually a dark lion, and was funning around.

 

Still makes one wonder how something like this could have happened.

 From Trytofight on Nov 21, 2022, "Mellow, hypnotic, chill... The Odd Balls are all so different yet so the same in terms of time out of mind... all moments of calming, serene bliss."

From Trytofight on November 12, 2022, "Welcome to the return one of the grooviest, most peaceful spaces anywhere. Utter calm and sometimes the most intense freneticism somehow merge, or melt, or even explode. Be brave and embrace what was once and will always be... the Odd Ball !"

The Return of the Odd Ball

 

Even years after it first came to Second Life, the Odd Ball continues to wow and amaze people. Created by Tuna Oddfellow, a real-life magician, it's been described as a psychedelic experience without the side-effects by some. The event was on hiatus for a while. But Tuna recently brought it back.

Scenes from Burn2 "Color Outside of the Lines"

Last weekend was the Burn2 event "Color Outside of the Lines." For fans of the popular once a year art festival, it was a chance to have some Burn-related fun a little early in the year. And the Newser was there to take a few pictures.

See more in Events.

Color Out of the Lines

 

Burn2 is hosting a fun event this weekend in Deep Hole on the playa. It is called “Color Out of the Lines.”  The sim will be open from Noon time Friday until Saturday night at 11:59. Come and express your inner builder. 

There is an ample supply of materials: building blocks, shapes, textures for you already there, or you can bring your own. There are small sandboxes with a four hour return for you to play in.  If you have never built before this is a good way to start. There will be helpers there to assist you. There are already some lovely builds by well known artists on the playa. Music and partying is also going on. 

Check out the blog for more information.  http://www.burn2.org/

Press Release: Burn2 "Color Outside Of The Lines"

Color Outside Of The Lines brings a May explosion of creation and celebration of mother to the Virtual Playa!

In remembrance of the time of our early beginnings; Paper - empty as our abilities, was given to us along with crayons. So we created art. As paint boxes and coloring books appeared we still created art, now of structure and less of our first faltering attempts. As we grew in our art, “She” (our mother figure) was always at our side guiding us, praising us; swift with tape and magnets to post our results upon the fridge.

She was always there to encourage us and to push us further to use chalk, clay, and anything that came to hand. She was our muse and sponsor, and always gave us permission to COLOR OUTSIDE OF THE LINES.


BURN2 – Deep Hole, Join us May 24th and 25th for a two day event with music and collaborative creative art building. Celebrate the act of art creation and the role of Her(our mother figure).

The Playa will OPEN to the public at NOON on FRIDAY, May 24 at the following location:

Drum, Play, Celebrate: Come join the Lamplighters each day to drum and perform. There are no bystanders.

Create, Share, Keep: Small creative areas are setup for participants to "color outside of the lines" by moving the different shaped objects supplied or adding their own to a group art piece that will only last four hours (take a copy! quick!).

Join us, free your inner Burner, and once again explore art and honor the mother muse we all have. Share the news with friends! See below for more information and to share on all your favorite networks:

The BURN2 Team operates events year around, culminating in an annual major festival of community, art and fire in the fall - a virtual echo of Burning Man itself

The Art of Mikati Slade in Second Life

Grease Coakes recently met up with Second Life artist Mikati Slade, whose J-Pop influenced art with it's video game colors is quickly recognizable. Recently, her work has once again gotten attention at Burn2 as the designer of it's Guru Guru stage. Grease Coakes talked to her about the stage, and the influences of her style.

Read Grease's story in People.

Colors from the Void

Before SL7B closed, Grey Lupindo met up with one of its artists, Solkide Auer, about his interactive art exhibit, “Colors in the Void.” She had a chance to speak with him about his work, and what else he’s done in Second Life.
