Admiral, a writer, attended <a href="http://spinstersblog.blogspot.com/2007/07/thankyou.html">PgUp</a> at the Notice Gallery in Deptford. He is writing a piece on the exhibition and Second Life art and artists in general.<br />I met Admiral on Saturday in <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/30/202/23/" target="_blank">Virtual Haidplatz</a> when he was a mere 48 hours old. <a href="http://odysseyart.ning.com/profile/Fauchard410">Fau Ferdinand</a> and Zodial Semple joined us and we encouraged Admiral to do his n00b duty and hop into Fau's All n00bs are Sailors pot ...<br /><br />You: admiral did his n00b duty hehe<br />Zodial Semple: did he dance naked in it?<br />You: oh no forgot that bit<br />You: get back in!<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: nope , clothes on . although the server has removed my clothes from time to time<br />Fau Ferdinand: yeah yeah<br />Zodial Semple: not truely initiated til you naked in the pot :-)p<br />Fau Ferdinand: all noobs blame the servers<br />You: he's not going to is he?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7bCpf4VPE9T66dmabuqTTAFudL8n0oI58jBqBA_JdcSI0wBWQcpYPgjJCzNf-FY1OoKSFY7E6AwJk3Hr7tOdqwG52OeaBHOjH-RCuQQO-jz9_TX9_7oF8jcLEiMrMXTBEiNV/s1600-h/just_his_pants.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091516524033728930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7bCpf4VPE9T66dmabuqTTAFudL8n0oI58jBqBA_JdcSI0wBWQcpYPgjJCzNf-FY1OoKSFY7E6AwJk3Hr7tOdqwG52OeaBHOjH-RCuQQO-jz9_TX9_7oF8jcLEiMrMXTBEiNV/s400/just_his_pants.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />You: omg<br />Fau Ferdinand: hehe<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: this is NOT going in the article<br />Fau Ferdinand: woohoo<br /><br />Zodial Semple: I still see clothing<br />Fau Ferdinand: me too<br />You: yes c'mon hehe<br />You: lol what an intro to sl<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: it wont let me go totally nekkid<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: oh now it did<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: almost<br />You: right click urself<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: delay<br />You: remove clothing<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuktZ4AXYp4_3kAWM8siWhLmjrQHaVlSYcGUBKnQ5TL83YbnEkMNba3pDvTqUrWAPC3-gdQVQOg464bZOtAkjIw3hRq9WF2-Y4_xhe4kVgGiNs-siOlKX3H0giT1WnfkTllyu/s1600-h/powerful_minds.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091516347940069778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuktZ4AXYp4_3kAWM8siWhLmjrQHaVlSYcGUBKnQ5TL83YbnEkMNba3pDvTqUrWAPC3-gdQVQOg464bZOtAkjIw3hRq9WF2-Y4_xhe4kVgGiNs-siOlKX3H0giT1WnfkTllyu/s400/powerful_minds.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />You: weyhay!!!<br />Fau Ferdinand: that a noob :)<br />Zodial Semple: ok go on with your interview :-)<br /><br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: phew<br />You: ah now do u know yet how to get dressed again?<br />Fau Ferdinand: nooo<br />Zodial Semple: lol<br />Fau Ferdinand: don't tell him<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: too late<br />You: ah a wise n00b<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: told ya i spent an hour or so practising!<br />Fau Ferdinand: don't you know the interview trick where you imagine<br />You: hehehe<br />Fau Ferdinand: the person interviewing you neekid ?<br />You: we have strong minds<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: got ma sneaks back on<br />AdmiralOwen Merlin: interview continues!<br />Fau Ferdinand: yup :)<br /><br />Thanks Admiral for being a great sport!<br /><br />Fau told Admiral all about her work and Admiral asked a lot of hard questions about Second Life for his article. Meanwhile, Zodial recklessly rode her horse on the <a href="http://wirxliflimflam.blogspot.com/2007/07/pages-exhibition-in-london-day-two.html" target="_blank">SLippery SLopes</a>, <a href="http://odysseyart.ning.com/profile/dethomas" target="_blank">DeThomas Dibou</a>'s marvellous structure built for the <a href="http://avatarorchestra.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">AOM</a> performance of the same name (more on this below) ...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMLXhyiGMBPE8h38MnyaXMlCUU7v68rZz4_iOvSUb0C7e6jUY3nER8R4mPg-M-OFyWmZg97II1Jq6XWEnN7Or9xvP66Jwq-Jmk5-isnopMSRlvFj_h0Dh-Cl90enie1VCBPgj/s1600-h/zodial_horse.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091516154666541442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMLXhyiGMBPE8h38MnyaXMlCUU7v68rZz4_iOvSUb0C7e6jUY3nER8R4mPg-M-OFyWmZg97II1Jq6XWEnN7Or9xvP66Jwq-Jmk5-isnopMSRlvFj_h0Dh-Cl90enie1VCBPgj/s400/zodial_horse.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Later on, I attended the opening of <a href="http://odysseyart.ning.com/profile/dStory" target="_blank">Douglas Story</a>'s new installation, <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Princeton%20University/20/193/105/">FlowerBall</a>, with music by <a href="http://odysseyart.ning.com/profile/aldusmanutius" target="_blank">AldoManutio Abruzzo</a> and scripting by Desdemona Enfield. To view the work, there were a few preferences that needed setting and a bit of a teleporter mystery tour, but it was all worth it ... this installation is amazing! If you haven't been yet, do go along, do set your preferences, take friends and try it in mouselook ...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioudvFtyJXS-uZvxbMjlAWk49F34P6CE7-XpxZt-qnqSxlef0bzcKgNE1NgM64S-ffGsKodWEGAuVroZphYz_SMJBc0cUBPTbW7QE7C_IlM90PpaJDw4tT1jubzMJX9EgDlAqh/s1600-h/flowerball01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091515974277914994" style="DISPLAY: block;

Further down are posts about <a href="http://spinstersblog.blogspot.com/2007/07/pgup-performances-saturday-30-june-part.html">Douglas Story's Chambers and Landscapes</a>, and <a href="http://spinstersblog.blogspot.com/2007/07/pgup-performances-saturday-30-june-part_03.html">Wirxli Flimflam and Fwwixli Swindlehurst's Ageplay Performance Residue #1</a> which both took place earlier in the day, as well as the performances from Avatar Orchestra Metaverse and Fau Ferdinand which took place on <a href="http://spinstersblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/pgup-performances-thursday-28-june.html">Thursday 28 June</a><br />This post will cover <a href="http://avatarorchestra.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Avatar Orchestra Metaverse's </a>grand finale for PgUp which included two premiers - SLippery SLope by Wirxli Flimflam and FRAGULA v0.1 by Miulew Takahe.<br />Wirxli has once more beaten me to it with his <a href="http://wirxliflimflam.blogspot.com/2007/07/pages-exhibition-in-london-day-two.html" target="_blank">blog</a>, where you can see a video of SLippery SLope made by <a href="http://odysseyart.ning.com/profile/DannyDarko" target="_blank">DannyDarko Raymaker</a> with sound recorded by Miulew Takahe. Also on Wirxli's blog you can get a rare insight into the workings of AOM as he has posted the full score of the piece ... fascinating stuff! It demonstrates well how much detailed planning and coordination goes into AOM's work.

<div align="left">Thursday evenings event went very well in real life at Notice Gallery, and in Second Life at Virtual Haidplatz, Odyssey. AOM were on top form and premiered two pieces as part of their set. Fau Ferdinand and Gazira Babeli's All n00bs are Sailors was fun, beautiful and terrifying! We were interrupted towards the end of the evening by the rolling restart, which meant that Douglas Story's installation, Chambers and Landscapes did not get the attention it deserved. Luckily Douglas has promised to get up very early on Saturday to show us round his work.<br />
Below are some generous extracts from the chat log and some photos from the event. I was unable to take many RL photos myself once everything started, but as I write this post, the first photos taken by guests and helpers at the show are appearing in my in-box, so expect some in the next blog post! The event was also video'd in Notice Gallery. Clips will be uploaded after editing on Monday ... </div><div align="left">IM: Bingo Onomatopoeia: spinster, is it true that they are mainly<br />

That is where the idea of Avatar Orchestra Metaverse can be derived: An ensemble of musicians dispersed all over the world, connected through Second Life and exploring the artistic and social aspects of such a musical project. <div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv-imRXZhehcHwfSahgLgqDIimgTeTq4kTZsTZ-8sgUJ0E1qLysqyPCIGeEFyFheIrJNa_G0TQmeVZIpEu5zoGZdzDoPFK2AOn8Xqh6vAPxVqebmeWI6lcphifZUYzNsrd9deR/s1600-h/maximillian.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079655447181298050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv-imRXZhehcHwfSahgLgqDIimgTeTq4kTZsTZ-8sgUJ0E1qLysqyPCIGeEFyFheIrJNa_G0TQmeVZIpEu5zoGZdzDoPFK2AOn8Xqh6vAPxVqebmeWI6lcphifZUYzNsrd9deR/s400/maximillian.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">self - portrait: Maximillian Namakura</span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><div align="left"><br /></span></div>Bluewave Ogee: As a new kind of artist, a virtual cyborg social networking artist exploring the artistic possibilities of interconnections between SL and RL experiences & perceptions - visually, aurally, viscerally, neurochemically - :-) ... music, music of the spheres, music of the metaverses, and so forth.

into RL, right?<br />spinster Voom: so people in the gallery could enjoy some performances from sl<br />Wirxli Flimflam: yes<br />Fwwixli Swindlehurst: kewl<br />Wirxli Flimflam: as long as there is no RL from me and Fwwix<br />spinster Voom: and people on sl could enjoy some performances from the gallery<br />Wirxli Flimflam: yes, I think we would prefer that our work is broadcast also into an RL gallery<br />Wirxli Flimflam: ok<br />spinster Voom: absolutely not<br />spinster Voom: you would just be wirxli and fwwix<br />Fwwixli Swindlehurst: about rl identities that was dad<br />Wirxli

gesture mania once again ...<br /><br />Fwwixli Swindlehurst: London....<br />Fwwixli Swindlehurst: ...so secret...<br />spinster Voom: the show opens on 7th June, but for this event i think we will

tracy emin dad<br />Wirxli Flimflam: am I wrong? deluded?<br />Wirxli Flimflam: oh ok<br />spinster Voom: true, but within the context of this exhibition, i think this will stand out a bit<br />Wirxli

border="0" /></a>I dropped by the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hyboria/28/165/21/" target="_blank">Think Factory</a> on Sunday for their grand opening carnival. They had some art, freebies, sick-making rides, a busy sandbox and this lovely elephant.<br />While there, I met Hay Ah, who was busily filling the sandbox with "circlies". These little objects are made up of three nested spheres which are programmed to change colour randomly. The basic construction could be very useful in working out how to create the <a href="http://www.scanraid.com/speakingincolour/" target="_blank">Chromophonemium</a> in Second Life later on this year.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077752265568061650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbcFKpsQDT_r6I1q8M2pb4tdvAuoBqcphHI_QPwNi1PytHlZ4mLxDExlviwiGobxEHIFJ0dWs05aRq2WoxlRUyaGTnpkArWGUoeiXK2ooMV1mMwIwAGtu793y6pXHZngRhPk6J/s400/circlies.jpg" border="0" /> Hay very kindly gave me a copy of a Circly which I took it over to Odyssey to experiment with, and met Miulew, Bingo and Evo. Shown here is a two sphere version of the Circly. Each sphere is transparent on the outside, similar to cell-shaded prim builds, so that the inside spheres can be seen.<br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://lh6.google.com/image/evolutie/RkYkhOtb6mI/AAAAAAAAAVo/mS3CRlvrqEs/Snapshot_023.jpg?" border="0" /> At a recent AOM concert, Evo apparently had the opportunity to admire the prim construction of my skirt from an artist's perspective.
