Yay for SL8B!!! It opens today!
The Second Life birthday is back, as every year around June 23rd! This time is SL8B. the 8th birthday. As i wrote in a post some days ago the team of Soup Radio were working on a space in there. It was great to work on it and filmed the short movie above. Hope you can visit it! Here is the SLurl.
Finally Linden Lab published the official announcement in the Linden Blogs a couple of days ago. Check it and the official SL8B blog for calendars of events and much more updated information. Only remember today, June 20th at 10AM SLT the 21 sims will be opened to the public!
Chantal Harvey, renowned machinima artist and SL8B volunteer, made this video to show us about more about SL8B:

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

LEA Theater (Outside view)
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.
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! 
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.
