Dystopian Daydreams 2
Ferris Wheel at OUTBREAK
Greetings,
The abridged transcript for our first Café Sophistry Dystopian Daydreams session is now available. Thanks to all participants – it was a great conversation and journey through Outbreak and Once Upon a Fairy Tale.
Please note, our next meeting is Sunday, March 12 at 9am SLT. Please bring a new creation along the lines of our discussion topic, which was essentially “regeneration from destruction.” We were philosophical and all mediums are good, but we also discussed creating a simple “dystopian” piece such as a texture, furniture, or other item simply as a stylistic challenge (if you’ve not tried that). Thanks again.

Nice blog post by Pearl
Nice blog post highlighting some SL venues, including Veyot’s Sail Inn Motel and Tiffany Mosienko’s Art Study Group (yes, it is still going on!):
Some great suggestions of places to visit and things to do. Thank you Pearl!
Elle
Sail Inn Motel
Veyot has a new venture called the Sail Inn Motel. Since the grand opening, she has been blogging about it and the adventures of her two colorful guests: Ms. Frobish and Detective Pety.
Read about it here: http://veyot.tumblr.com/
And if you’d like to stop by: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Askja/149/7/21
Veyot are discussing. -
Veyot
I wonder how many writers are surprised by the way their characters act. I had no idea who would move into the motel and I have no idea what they will do next. I do notice that, with blogging, the story reads backwards, which confuses both the reader and the writer.
-
Elle
One could start reading at the begining of the story, or consider it a time jumping work of fiction. Your characters do seem to have a mind of their own. 🙂

Party and Some Fall Session 2 Ideas
Today Fall Session 1 Ended. There was a party on Sunday 11/08. People had some ideas about Fall Session 2, which starts on 11/21. Notes are in the attached note card and on MU Talk at http://mediciuniversity.co.uk/talk.
Edie is cc’d on all of us in case she has a different plan! Please chime in with your thoughts, changes, volunteering, etc.
Notes on Ideas for Fall Session 2 Areas:
- Pop-up Galleries could continue as Unsanctioned Art Galleries – The most recent rotation has been in place for about 3 weeks. Elle would announce the next rotation before 11/21 and people can contact her if interested in having a gallery at UAG. Pearl and others said they would continue to give Elle some admin help.
-
Art Farm Giant Studio – would replace the Youth Hostel. The purpose of the Giant Studio is for people who want community and spontaneous collaboration to work together in a sandbox atmosphere. Serra Qendra would set up an initial structure/schedule for this area pending feedback.
-
Art Farm Writes the Plank – For writers, on Trilby’s ship. Events to be announced.
-
Art Farm Film Studios – An area for photography and machinima, with sets created by Art Farm participants. This area would have a similar logistical setup as the old pop-up galleries: 10-12 “plots” for individual participants’ sets which can be used by anyone for photos or filming. Depending on interest, different people could host sets over the 6 weeks, and individual sets can change. This area needs a main administrator to kick things off!
***** A reminder regarding the All Inclusive and Creative Commons policies:
Everyone is encouraged to set out YOUR full perm kits and information about your work for learning purposes. Creative Commons work is highly encouraged. All participants should expect photos to be taken of your work and published on blogs and in Flickr Art Farm group. Photographers, please credit the artist. Selling work on LEA land is not permitted.
