IDIA’s Flickr Gettr installation

Some days ago, while exploring around i saw this installation in IDIA’s sims. Actually found it in the Second Life® Destination Guide, he he he, and i so amazed when i saw it that i had to film it!

It is an installation that connects Flickr, Second Life and even mobile phones, depending on your search the pictures turning around will change. It is just amazing and a cool way to show the possibilities of interconnecting social tools.

If you like it, please, visit it in IDIAA Studios (126,193,8).

The MoM opening ceremony

Some days ago i posted about the Month of Machinima (MoM) event organized by the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA). A film of the opening ceremony was posted in YouTube by Chantal Harvey, wanted to share it with you. And remember to submit your machinimas to the festival!

The MoM (Month of Machinima) and… where is DaD?

The Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) organized a big event about machinima, some like a festival, that will run starting today May 4th to December, the Month of Machinima (MoM).

Today in the LEA Theater (SLurl), in the opening of the event the screens were showing the entrants for May competition, a variety of films from the artistic to the humoristic and even the musical. MoM has its own YouTube channel so you can see some of the movies in it, but in order to see all the entrants is better you go to the LEA Theater and enjoy a bunch of really cool movies filmed by some of your fellow residents.

Month of Machinima (LEA Theater Inside)

LEA Theater (Inside)

The LEA was created in 2010, actually for some event in SL7B (Second Life 7th Birthday) but for some reason it was sleeping since then. Probably that was caused for all the changes in Linden Lab, but it was a really good initiative and i’m happy it is back.

The LEA Committee are a group of really good and really well known artist who work in SL and it’s really good Linden Lab decides to support Art in Second Life with this, specially after they decided to not support Burning Life anymore.  In the last times the Lab seemed to be more worried about Merchants than about Artists and, under my point of view, both are REALLY important for what Second Life is and will be. Will speak about this last topic in my next show on Soup Radio and probably will also blog about it some time soon, so lets left the topic until i do it. ;-)

Now go to the LEA Theater and enjoy the awesome work of a lot of filmmakers of Second Life:

Also, if you want to know some more about the opening event itself (i was late, hehehe) you should read Inara Pey’s post about it, really interesting. Also Courtney Linden blogged about the event in the Linden Blogs.

And also i wonder… will the LEA organize and event called DaD, that would be pretty cool! :-D

SL7B is nearly here!

As i posted before i’m working this days in my exhibit in SL7B, so i wanted to share this cool machinima made my Toxic Menges with some images of the main buildings of SL7B.

Remember SL7B will open next June 21st to June 27th! Find more info in the SL Wiki or in the SL7B residents blog.

Do you wanna date my avatar?

Some days ago i saw this really fun video of The Guild with a song parodying MMOs, well in this case WOW, but is totally adaptable to SL as you can see in the fun version of Lowe Runo below. :-D

Lyrics are really fun, in The Guild video, the dances and the attitude of the band makes it irresistible and the song is, well, catchy!

About the Lowe Runo Second Life version, it transfers all the fun of the song to a machinima. Thanks to the Guild for the song and laughs and thanks to Lowe for his version.

UPDATE: The great Hyang Zhao shared with me in Plurk this parody of the parody filmed in Second Life too.

Isn’t it cool too? ;-)
