  today in my new Second Life on Help Island
today, as i was living my new Second Life + working on my Second Life Sky Studies on Help Island, i experienced a few endearing moments...

00. this 1rst moment is'nt so much endearing as just aweSum: i put on a metal-cyber-dragon-armor w/a jetpack that i found in the Freebies on Help Island


01. i encountered a collection of artworks on exhibit in the "demo area" which represented multiple galleries in SL. i found my self standing in front of piece trying to decide how to feel about it + how to emote that feeling. i felt alone so i practiced a few different responses to the work using Gestures. i think Muscle was the most accurate in communicating how i was feeling




02. i wasn't alone in the "demo area" while i was in the SL art exhibit, another noob was there + he asked me how to get his hair back b/c he had detached it from his head :)



03. i saw a UFO in the sky while filming my Second Life Sky Studies. i think it was the other noob's hair. it had grown to a terrible monstrous size once he had detached it + it seemed to have a will of it's own. but i could be projecting, these are all fantasy machines anyways right?


04. i was about to click the link to leave Help Island when the advice that 01 cannot return to Help Island sank in a little too close for comfort so i didn't click it. instead i went for a walk + found this nice place to sit + look@ the sky underneath a single weeping willow. earlier in the day i had been on a RL walk thinking about weeping willows so it was heartwarming to encounter 01 in SL. also the view from there was great + i was able to film more Second Life Sky Studies before leaving


05. on leaving Help Island i stood in SL in front of a "Willkommen" sign as i sat in RL in Linz, Austria


06. after i left i also encountered another SL art exhibition. this exhibition was the work of Cae Sands which are soft landscapes + abstractions that seem to follow natural forms. i felt like this was a good indicator that i am on an appropriate path w/my Second Life Sky Studies as they are also SL-specific (abstracted) landscapes (skyscapes) albeit in a different direction that Cae Sands' style of SL-specific art

  Second Life Sky Studies
yesterday i started a new project, Second Life Sky Studies. this is a web-based video/new media art project that looks @ the skyscapes of Second Life. this project is also part of my ongoing development of metamachinima, machinima about machinima. Second Life Sky Studies will also autobiographically accompany my new Second Life, w/my new account "Theoretical Magic" which i will occasionally be posting about here.
