The SL 50 sim media concert by Mankind Tracer


3 hours of live video concert


Be there!


More information at Second Friends


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brief Recap from previous Peace, Love and Belief IV (see link for original post)



"On October 3rd 12-3PM SLT Mankind Tracer will be holding the largest ever multi sim concert event in Second Life's history. The event is also confirmed to be featured in the SL Destination Guide!

Over the past few years, Mankind Tracer, SL's most recognized live performer, has held his Peace, Love & Belief Concerts, with the last PLB III on 34 different sims. During PLB III, Mankind played a few songs at each venue, jumping from sim to sim for over 6 hours straight. While this is still the recognized record for most simultaneous sims, Mankind will be going for 50 sims at Peace, Love & Belief IV.

The major difference this year is that PLB IV will be a Live Video Concert. The concert is planned to last for three straight hours. There will also be a live audio stream just in case residents don't have the ability to see video. Mankind will stream his live show across SL via the new "stage screen" and thus will not need to jump sims. This year, there will still be the Land Mark Board which, as with all previous PLB Events, will clearly display the names of all participating venues/sims and each will be clickable to their respective LM's."

From covers to originals, Maximillion Kleene sings each song as if it was his own. That angelic voice hovers in the air reaching our ears and capturing our hearts.







Max is four years old today on the Second Life grid. He has earned the title of one of the most popular live singers on the grid.





I am privileged to have met him and hear him throughout my entire time here. Without Max and other musicians, Second Life would have not been such a fulfilling place.




Congratulations Max! We love you!

Virtual Lab has just uploaded a beautiful club concept from Switzerland.



Machinima artist and dj,  Eifachfilm sent a shout through THE A LIST! and we came over to check it out.






When I arrived, I was struck with a sense of peaceful existence with the digital grid. I could feel no lag!



Following the stairs as they unfolded in front of us, we climbed our way to the club.


You have to see this place. The photos do not give it justice. You must go to experience it.

Fiche technique          France - 2002 - 1h42
                                       Animation - Science  Fiction
Réalisateur :                Enki Bilal

Musique :                     de  Goran Vejvoda
                                       Sigur Rós Vénus


New York 2095.
Une pyramide flottante au-dessus de
Manhattan... Une population de mutants,
d'extra-terrestres, d'humains, réels ou syn-
thétiques...  Une campagne électorale. Un
serial killer boulimique qui cherche un corps sain et un dieu à tête de faucon qui n'a que sept jours pour préserver son immortalité.
Un pénitencier géostationnaire qui perd un
dissident subversif congelé depuis trente ans
 et une jeune femme sans origine connue, aux cheveux et aux larmes bleus...
Trois noms : Horus, Nikopol, Jill…
Trois êtres aux destins convergents où tout est truqué: les voix, les corps, les souvenirs. Tout, sauf l'amour qui surgit comme une délivrance.

Les personnages principaux sont au nombre de trois. Le premier est surnaturel. C'est le dieu Horus, athlète à tête de faucon, condamné à mort par ses pairs pour rébellion, qui n'a que sept jours pour exécuter son plan démoniaque :
investir un corps humain et séduire une femme qui lui garantira l'immortalité. Sa proie sera Alcide Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann), le défenseur des opprimés, déporté pour avoir tenté de combattre le pouvoir officiel, qu'un court-circuit dans le pénitencier où il était congelé depuis trente ans ressuscite.


Nikopol (guerrier doté d'une jambe artificielle
de métal) et Horus (mi-homme mi-oiseau) deviennent rivaux : ils tombent amoureux de la même femme, Jill (Linda Hardy), pur fantasme, énigmatique pin-up en phase de mue, qui avale des pilules pour empêcher son passé de resurgir, et pleure des larmes bleues, indélébiles sur la peau humaine.


Nikopol séduit Jill en lui récitant un poème de Baudelaire  "Une Charogne" . La cérémonie des lèvres est rythmée par une dégustation de bordeaux. Déployant ses ailes au-dessus d'un New York évoquant le Metropolis de Fritz Lang,
l'homme-dieu au pouvoir de Superman a des désirs physiques, et les pulsions de viol d'Amphitryon : sous l'apparence de Nikopol, dans une chambre d'hôtel à faire gémir les fleurs du mal, il pénètre le corps alangui de Jill, jouit de ses étreintes et de son abandon tel un alien.

New York 2095.A floating pyramid overManhattan ... A population of mutants,extra-terrestrial, human, real or syn-thetic ... An election campaign. Acompulsive serial killer who seeks a healthy body and a falcon-headed god who is only seven days to preserve his immortality. A penitentiary who loses a geostationarysubversive dissident frozen for thirty years
 and a young woman with no known origin, to hair and blue tears ...Three names: Horus, Nikopol, Jill ...Three people whose destinies converge, where everything is fake: the voices, bodies, memories.Everything except the love that comes as a relief.The main characters are three in number. The first is supernatural. That the god Horus, the falcon-headed athlete, sentenced to death by his peers for rebellion, which has only seven days to complete his master plan:invest a human body and seduce a woman who will guarantee immortality. Its prey is Alcide Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann), the defender of the oppressed, deported for trying to combat official power, a short circuit in the penitentiary where he was frozen for thirty years revived.

Nikopol (warrior with an artificial legmetal) and Horus (half-man half-bird) become rivals: they fall in love with the same woman, Jill (Linda Hardy), pure fantasy, pinup enigmatic phase of moult, which swallowspills to prevent his past resurface and weep tears of blue indelible human skin.

Nikopol Jill seduces him reciting a poem of Baudelaire's "A Carcass". The ceremony was punctuated by the lips tasting of Bordeaux. Spreading its wings over a New York reminiscent of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, man-god power Superman has physical desires, and impulses of rape of Amphitryon: under the guise of Nikopol, in a hotel room to mourn the flowers of evil, it enters the body of languid Jill enjoys his hugs and his abandonment as an alien.

UWA 3D ART and DESIGN Winners for August 2010

BLUE TSUKI "THE DEEP", originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

This is a follow-up on the incredible display of art at UWA - University of Western Australia's year long challenge to the art community. Please read below for the most recent press release:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NISH and HERICK TRUIMPH ONCE MORE - 

AUGUST WINNERS OF THE UWA 3D ART and DESIGN CHALLENGE

103 entries of the highest quality to the final August round of the UWA 3D Art & Design Challenge, and what happens? Nish Mip's powerful and enveloping piece, THE LAST OCEAN takes the top prize (L$5,000) making it an unprecedented 3rd time she has won First Prize for the IMAGINE Challenge breaking a tie with Bryn Oh & Igor Ballyhoo, both of whom won the Challenge twice. Lee Supermarine and Eliza Wierwight shared honours in taking 2nd Prize. In the FLAGSHIP Challenge, Herick Straaf narrowly beat 5 time champion Nyx Breen to take the top prize for a 2nd time. Jesse Keyes, Alizarin Goldflake & soror Nishi picked up L$6,000 each in winning Legacy Awards for their work across the year for the IMAGINE Challenge, while Nyx Breen took home the Legacy Award for the FLAGSHIP Challenge.

The final month of this year long L$600,000 challenge, August saw a record shattering 103 submissions to the IMAGINE challenge with 6 Flagship Builds pushing the total across the year to 841 entries from more than 300 artists and builders. 6 of the 7 continents of the world are represented as entrants hailed from  Venezuela,  Belgium, Mexico, Wales, Canada, the USA, the UK, Uruguay, Scotland,England, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, France, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Denmark, Holland, Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Cuba, Serbia, Tunisia, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

Commenting on the win, Nish said, "My thanks go to  Jayjay and quad for putting so much work in to organising these competitions. They deserve the biggest round of applause for their efforts and to everyone else involved through  support and sponsorship in whatever way and that includes the artists, judges, and the people who come along to look and appreciate this  great boost for second life art.  I really feel proud to have taken part in these competitions. I only  came looking for a sandbox to finish my Butterfly house off, but  I think everyone in whatever life they have wants to feel that they have a purpose and  I’d like to make a special thank you to  JJ for spotting something that I hadn’t realised I had and am still even now finding  hard to believe. I can only put my success down to being a bit of a perfectionist and never being satisfied with what I’ve done. Perhaps that helps, I don’t know, but these competitions have definitely paved a way forward for me that I really appreciate.  Thank you everyone who’s made that possible.  I know with the dedication that the UWA in SL has put in to the virtual  art world they will go from strength to strength and I very much look forward to the coming years and to hopefully participating  with UWA  in making our second lives so much richer.  I love you all. "

In acceptance, Legacy Award winner Jesse Keyes said, "I am honored that i managed to hang on long enough to receive the UWA Legacy prize.

Its been a long year and I look forward to making and entering more contest builds in the up and coming year. I would like to thank all the people that have worked on  setting  up the contest and to Jay Jay Zifanwe for puting bugs in my ears on when the build is due (they were real bugs). Thanks again UWA for hosting such a geat event". She emoted, "gets drunk and falls off the podium, waves to every one, uses trophy to crack walnuts."

soror Nishi, fellow Legacy Award winner, and winner of the Honourable Mention Prize for JOY for August, with 'Dotty the Dragon' chimed in, "It's a great thing to feel that what you try to do as an artist, that what you try to 'say' has been understood. An award is like someone saying 'yes, soror, I agree'..and it makes it possible to go on creating, trying to express difficult 'stuff'."

The biggest winner on the night in terms of the number of awards won was Eliza Wierwight, whose cleverly named entry, THE SATIRICAL POLEMICIST won the 2nd overall IMAGINE prize (L$3,000), 2nd Prize in the People's Choice Award (L$500) as well as the Rain Prize (L$1,000). "What an interesting journey from working in isolation for such a long time, then the genuine  feeling  that I am a part of the Arts Community  family in Second Life as I do now. I'm smitten. While I'll know I will always seek time to get delightfully lost in the process of creation in seclusion,  it's a  reaffirming  joy when I head back to shore to find such warm welcome as has been expressed in these awards I've been honored with today. If I was to  say that  a position in the People's Choice is like an embrace, then the Imagine Challenge Prize and the Rain Prize on top of that had me  floored with delight. My huge and genuine thanks to the SL  Community , the University of Western Australia, my precious friends,  my muse , the delightful Miss Q (quadrapop Lane) and the genuine and astounding Jayjay Zifanwe whom I am still honing an ever  developing artistic temperament on just for the sheer amusment of it. Again, for everything , my sincere thanks."

The Non-Scripted IMAGINE prize was won back to back for the first time every, by prim wizard nessuno Myoo with THE UNICORN  WOOD EDITION. "I'm really happy and I want thank all for the great opportunity to show my works alongside all this masterpieces. For me it is a great honor." Only he and soror Nishi have more than one piece in the reckoning for the Non-Scripted Grand Prize.

Corcosman Voom, who wan an Honourable Mention for the Legacy Award (L$4,500), also took the  Bohemian Ghost Prize (L$1,000 + 600 prims on the Summerland SIM). "I was very pleased to have been awarded an Honourable Mention UWA Legacy prize and The Bohemina Ghost prize in this, the final round, of the UWA 3D Art & Design Challenge. It has been my pleasure to be able to exhibit my art this past year in the company of work by so many talented artists. I am very grateful to UWA and everyone associated with the Challenge for the opportunity it has given to so many people. Most of all, I appreciate the dedication and hard work  Jayjay and quadrapop have put into making this project a success. Thank you both for making this a great year."

A paradigm breaking piece called 'ANTARCTICA - AN INDIVIDUAL EXISTENCE' by Glyph Graves won the Honourable Mention Prize for Second Life Wizardry. This must see work, uses real time data from weather stations in Antarctica to create an enchanting symphony of sound and light. The technical expertise required to create such a work is mind-boggling.

Gleman Jun was also a multiple award winner as his 'STOP FEAR' won the People's Choice Award as well as the Honourable Mention (HM) Prize for Emotion. Other award winners included Oberon Onmura (Legacy Award HM),  Oldoak Merlin (Casey Prize & FLAGSHIP HM), Blue Tsuki (HM Prize for Immersion), Gingered Alsop (HM Prize for Scripting Magic), Pinkpink Sorbet (Anton Mesmer HM Prize).

Joining the extended judging panel for the Grand Prize are art philanthropist & founding patron of UWA-BOSL Amphitheatre, Phillip Vought, Paisley Beebe,  CEO of Perfect World Productions TV and Jopsy Pendragon, creator of  the Particle Laboratory Learning Centerhave who have all stepped in to take the place vacated by M Linden. They will have the entire month of September to make their decisions.

UWA is grateful to Bohemian Ghost and the Summerland Estate for raising L$33,000 which was put toward the Legacy Awards. Bohemian Ghost will also be part sponsoring the People's Choice Award for the Grand Finale, along with the Residents of Artemesia who have been sponsoring the monthly People's Choice Awards.

The Grand Prize Round is now open, and there is a People's Choice Vote for this. There has been a beed over the past few weeks to rezz all the past winning flagships across the grid. We would like to acknowledge all those who have given up valuable prims and space to allow UWA to put up these flagships till the end of the voting period which is the 30th of September. They include Caren McCaw & Nyx Breen (of the Annapurna SIM), Dijodi Dubratt (Toor), quadrapop Lane (Poorlatrice), Kip Yellowjacket (Virtlantis), Lilli Field (Mysten), Phillip Vought (Acquitaine), Cuwynne Deerhunter & Eliza Wierwight (Patron) and the Linden Endowment for Arts (LEA).

This is the first time LEA land is being used and opened up to the public. One SIM of the LEA cluster has been opened up for this purpose.

The machinima challenge, MachinimUWA II: Art of the Artists, is ongoing, and closes on the 20th of September. & works have come in thus far from Tutsy Navarathna,spyvspy Aeon, Bryn Oh, Megan Merlin, Missy Restless and Yesikita Coppola.
