More about issues in Hi-Res Snapshots
Some days ago i wrote a post about some problems i was having with Hi-Res snapshots to disk with the Windlight Second Life® viewers (not only the “Test Software” ones, also the “Main” client right now). I didn’t tried for the moment the new 1.20 release candidate, in the Official Linden Blog they said is better not to use it for the moment in a Mac using an Apple Mighty Mouse (this is my case), but it seems is happening worse and to more people in the new Release Candidate.
So… there is my JIRA issue report #WMR-3711, and now, as i saw in a post in Vint Falken’s blog, there is another one related, the JIRA issue report #WMR-6240. Also some other problems with snapshots as you can see in this post by Ana Lutetia in the JIRA issue report #WMR-6031. As you can see a lot to fix in snapshots.
If you are having this problems too, please, go to the JIRA, comment and vote for this Issue Reports.

Arthole, a collaborative art space

Arthole is a new collaborative project between artists Arahan Claveau and Nebulosus Severine. Having succesfully worked together for the first time in 2007 on the exhibition Salon Du Disruptif for the Heldscalla Foundation, they were eager to establish a permanent space for their work.

Both Severine and Claveau are keen to avoid what they refer to as “flat art”, insisting all the work on display is either interactive or uses the tools of Second Life to create an experience unique to a virtual world.
Another feature is the inclusion of a guest artist area, a space where the invited individual has total freedom to show off their talent and ingenuity. The first guest, Ichibot Nishi, has created an installation intriguingly entitled “λ.mnemonic” which can be accessed on level three.

Split into three separate levels, Arthole has been very consciously conceived to be a continually evolving space, which will strive to challenge and surprise the visitor. The environment has been designed to encourage exploration at a more considered pace, and those that choose to do so will likely be rewarded with a much more immersive and satisfying experience.
The Arthole group offers, as an extra incentive for people to join, regular member-only parties hosted by veteran DJ’s Claveau and Severine. These occasions will integrate live multimedia performance that will endeavour to confound the participants’ usual expectations.
Arthole opens to the public on Saturday 26th April 2008.
I know the work of the three artists in Arthole, and i just can say they are, for me, some of the best artist in Second Life. For sure Arthole will worth a visit.
Video in Flickr!!! YAY!!!!
Well, I know this video above is in YouTube, but WordPress doesn’t accept Flickr video for the moment. 
Anyway, you can see this video in Flickr here.
Anyway, now you can post video in Flickr with some limitations: You need a PRO account, the video time should be less than 90 seconds and you can’t post “restricted” videos, just “safe” or “moderate”. Also there are some limitations about posting the video in group’s pools, the group has to admit video. You will find a more complete information in this page.
Even there were some drama in Flickr about the video posting (take a look at this). Anyway, I have another opinion. I think video in Flickr is really good, specially for Second Life residents. Flickr is a place where people is sharing great images and learning new possibilities of creation with snapshots every day, now i hope this works the same with machinima.
Postcards from the world (a photography project)
This image about Guantanamo is the first one of a series i want to do called “Postcards from the world”. For the moment this is the first and the only picture, but all will be published in Flickr set, here is a direct link to the set.
I started this project becuase was something i need to do right now. I have fun making and publishing what we can call “vanity shots”, but in this moment wanted to use my skills in something more “productive(?)” too. Anyway i’m a bit worries about something: I don’t pretend to be a moral judge, or a moral reference, just pretend to show things in this world that I think are wrong. I’m just expressing my point of view with that images.
In the description of every image of this series in Flickr i write just some descriptive facts, no opinion becuase i want the image to show my opinion. Comments are opened so viewers can express their opinion about the matter.
In that first picture the debate was really interesting with people sharing different points of view, really interesting and diverse ways to confront an issue like the Guantanamo one.
Some next pictures will be about Child soldiers, genitalia mutilation in African women, illegal immigration (this is a big issue with a lot of faces, so possibly it will need more than one pic), domestic violence, … If you have any suggestion or want to collaborate don’t hesitate to comment this post with your thoughts.
