I Rez Therefore I Am

At the end of the 1984 adaptation of The Razor’s Edge, on departing from Elliott Templeton’s Parisian palace, Larry tells Joseph the butler that he’s going home. Joseph asks him where that is, and Larry replies “America.” I’ve lived in The Hague for ten years now. I came as a choreographer for the Bush Administration, [...]

Yesterday I reached land’s end, LEA17. That, and, even if I hadn’t, my bones have grown weary of this 64°N latitude. It’s way time to head south. How I dream of slipping into non-frigid equatorial waters. And it is a dream. I am so far from that, that it might as well be another life. [...]

About 33 months ago I discovered evaxebra’s contributions to the daily self-portrait phenomena “365 Days.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/evaxebra/ hahaha, and it only, apparently, takes me 33 months to get around to starting something, so about 25 days ago I started posting a self-portrait a day. I tried DailyBooth and 500px, both really cool sites, but I think [...]

This is not a fashion entry today. I am sorry I have no pretty pictures. It’s just a tribute to one of my heroes.

Reblogged from Be Cunning and Full of Tricks: It’s been a year since I started working at ReactionGrid, and my initial role with the company was Director of Community Development. As of this month, I’m very excited to announce that I have been promoted to Chief Learning Officer. As Chief Learning Officer, I’ll be responsible [...]

VB31 – Demo Days Gallery Xue / Palestine 21 January 2012 Are avatars “real?” What about the text-only MUDs of yesterday? What about the Star Trek “Holodeck?” For some, climbing a mountain in a “holodeck” is “fake” and therefore meaningless. For others the text-only world of a MUD was as fully immersive as, well, the [...]

OMG, so much IDK if I’ll ever wear a system or prim dress again! This makes me think about amateurs and ghettos. AMATEURS The beauty of a “building” oriented virtual world is that anyone can, with moderate ease, make anything. It’s not hard to take an image or slogan you like and have your avatar [...]

Reblogged from The Virtual Adventures of Monerda and Pennyroyal: Ok, here’s the thing. It takes a lot to make me gasp and get goose bumps. It takes even more to make me want to take off all my clothes and immerse myself naked in a work of art! But that is exactly what the Tao [...]

Reblogged from Ironyca Stood in the Fire: Last part (part 9) was about secret alts and the need for time outs. This post may take some of that conversation and turn it upside down. Hunter’s Pets and Companion Pets When I spoke to my teacher about this project, he reminded me that perhaps players could [...]

22 February 2010 Who doesn’t need an excuse to show off their tats!?

So this previz isn’t exactly about Helmut Newton’s photograph Big Nude III, Paris 1980, or even about Newton himself, not exactly. I was looking at a book of Helmut Newton photographs, many from the 1980’s, and I found myself wondering which of his subjects were now dead. And Newton, himself, is of course, now dead. [...]

VB31 – Demo Days was the brain child of Queen of Demo, Agnes Sharple. Then our gallerist Xue Faith had the inspired idea to invite kinetic / light artist Sledge Roffo to install a half dozen works at Gallery Xue / Palestine as a sort of landscape for our Demo performance. The compelling resonance between [...]

My daughter Xue is turning 20. This past half year has thankfully been a rather harmonious time for us, still I didn’t know if turning a milestone in her life into a performance artwork would be such a good idea. To my surprise, she asked me if we could do something. Xue’s aunt Trill mentioned [...]
