Identity Crisis? @ SL7B
As i posted recently i’ve been working on an exhibit for SL7B, the event will be opened to public from June 21st to June 27th 2010. It will be full of events, if you want to be updated please, join the group “Second Life Birthday” inworld, visit the SL7B Wiki page or visit the SL7B residents blog.
Since the theme of this year’s event is “Unexpected Collaborations” i wanted my exhibit to be interactive, my personal theme is “Change and identity”, this way the “dome of cubes” that covers the exhibit changes every time someone touches any of the cubes. Also those stands that mix images of avatar appearances act only when somebody touches them, some like a child game.
Please, visit the exhibit following this SLurl, but you should do it during the dates indicated above.
I wanted to thanks specially Gahum Riptide, Zinc Karas, Ganymedes Costagravas and Eliza Wierwight for their help, their time and their creativity. Also thanks to Vasean Talamasca and CodeBastard Redgrave for their support.

Ursa Bazaar
Ursa Bazaar (SLurl) is a project for a commercial area Ganymedes Costagravas and me were working on for the last months. The idea for a commercial area, or a “not usual mall”, came some time ago, and i’m happy i found in Gany a great team mate. 
Gany built a project full of detail, a dream fantasy-persian-indian palace full of colors. Paying special attention to the textures and details. Trees, plants and some spots around make the place even more beautiful.
There are 10 stores and a big space that will be used for events, art shows, temporary store… Until this moment Exodi by Ryker Beck, UrbaniZeD by pitsch Parx, Airtree by Honour McMillan and !BANG by Trieste Minuet are opening stores in the Bazaar… and some more great stores will come soon. Come following this SLurl, take a look and tell me what you think.
If you want to rent a store there check one of the rental boxes for more info or contact me, Raul Crimson, or Ganymedes Costagravas via IM or better with a Notecard.

Report… how life is going
Life is always different, even it seems the same. In this post just want to share my last projects and what i have in mind, even want to express what’s in my mind, even that’s a hard thing to do.
As some of you may know i’m collaborating with Role Magazine now, writing about SLart (quite a big topic to talk about), you can take a look at my last article in this post at their blog
Also i’m working with my friend Ganymedes Costagravas in a store, a place to sale some of our creations. Still a lot to work together there, but that’s the pleasure, working with friends in some things. As soon as we have more information we will post about it.
Blogs with friends, building projects… for a long time i was kinda… how to say it?… not so motivated in SL. Now it seems this is about to change, we will see what happens.
"Gender", tiny SL-photography show @ Pride Festival 2009
Thanks to Eric Quimby, who donated the space, i’m running an small SL-photography show at Second Pride Festival 2009. Images by Silverdrake Sparrow, Lacie Babenco and myself about some visions about “Gender” as a human issue. I’d like to paste here part of the notacard for the show:
Gender is one of the most important human topics. It defines us, personally and socially, and sometimes it can be hard to combine this two sides of it. What happens when the social and personal sides are not fitting? What if you accept your gender but not the social stereotypes?
In this space three SL-photographers tried to show some visions about Gender. Silverdrake Sparrow with her images about the stereotypes, asking why the heroine can’t save the boy instead of the tradition in culture. Raul Crimson talks about the social limits of gender with characters using crossed attributes or attitudes. Lacie Babenco with the power of gender to define us deeply and simply, the naked truth.
Gender is still an issue in a virtual world, even we all have the freedom to choose here the issues remain or even get bigger. Be free to be yourself, choose who you want to be and ask respect for your election.
It was opened on May 23rd and will be there for one week, while Second Pride Festival is running. I’d love if you visit it and share your opinion here, here you are the SLurl.
This year Second Pride will support the work of Amnesty International and their work against homophobia in the world, specially but not only in China, Middle East, Africa and Eastern and Central Europe. Is a good time to remember there are some countries were being homosexual is illegal and has penalties from being some months in jail, life in prison or even death penalty. Take a look at the Wikipedia for more information about this.
This year Pride Festival is six sims, two comercial ones and four with rides and other events, go and take a look:
