Everything is Part of Everything Else: Two Parties
There are two parties at Low-Fi and Edie’s Farm the weekend of September 12, in honor of the work people have been doing, are doing, or just want to try to pull off on the spot. This is a semi-casual gathering for SL artists, performers, and friends to enjoy our dreams and process. Please bring a finished or in-process work to show or discuss. If you have an installation at Low-Fi or The Farm you can “show” that. This is a low pressure but hopefully interesting forum for all interested.
- Saturday September 12, 7pm SLT
- Sunday September 13, 9am SLT
Location:Â http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA28/211/85/22
If you plan on attending and need anything special, please leave a comment below or contact Newton (lex.perdide) or RMarie Beedit (rmarie.beedit)

Neeva
Thanks Newton. It hope to attend the Sunday morning one.
-
Newton
Most excellent Neeva. Also be advised that if you want to show an installation at The Farm that can be a “performance” too.

Low-Fi Meeting Saturday
I’m putting out feelers for rescheduling the Low-Fi weekly gathering for Saturday 9/5 at 9am rather than Sunday9/6 at 9am. It is a 3 day weekend in some places in the northwestern hemisphere and my typist is whining about keeping Sunday open.

veyot
Saturday would be okay with me. Either one will do.

Very well! I wil send an announcement posthaste.

Non-Update Update
Hi guys! I’ve heard some of you have been wondering about my LEA Round 9 “Art Farm Co-op” proposal. The LEA has not announced the recipients yet. They should be doing so very soon.
Here’s what I proposed:
-
Myra
Thanks, Edie. I was curious if you’d heard.
-
Myra
You got it, Edie. Gratz. 😀

Paypabak Writer
Yay! I thought I recognized her name on the list!

Edie
Thanks Myra & Paypabak! I’ll be blogging about plans in the next few days!

VPA 198 – Portfolios & Proposals
Notes from our organizational meetup:
http://virtualpublicart.com/vpa198-1st-meeting-
Pearl Grey
I love Elle and Oona’s proposal as well as some of the others.
I’m not interested in doing a proposal or portfolio of my own but I’d be pleased to help if I can.
-
Myra
I might write a testimonial. I wouldn’t have considered myself an artist of any sort before MU, but now I think I have a little cred.
-
Elle
Great Pearl & Myra! Help is good. It’s really Oona’s idea, I thought it was a good one and offered to help out if I could.
-
Newton
It would be really exciting if a place like MU, where anyone can seriously explore their creativity in an open setting, could become a permanent fixture on some level, similarly to how Chic Aeon’s machinema project has. A rotation of visionaries leading the way really seems like the way to go too. I wish everyone the best in getting these proposals accomplished (and beyond)!

Wooohoo Team continue MU!!

Campus Closing for 30 Days
Hi all, we’ve been given an order by the LEA Artist-in-Residence, Land Grant Committee to cease operations at LEA23 for the next 30 days. Full details here:

Oona
Bad Ryan. Oona stamps her foot.
-
Neeva
While Bad-Ryan was clearly wrong about MU not needing a naked drawing class, he is right about the campus closing down for 30 days. I know this because April 1 is international Tell The Truth day. Right?
-
Ryan
Correct Neeva! Nobody would lie today!
PS: you look fantastic today!

Activity No.9 – Avatar Hangout
It was supposed to be an hour-long “Avatar Hangout” but it turned into a day-long “Open House!” 😛
In the end 21 avatars came by to visit, see friends, and view Kimika Ying’s LEA29 installation Sister Planet
(More …) -

Farm Animals
Next door to Kimika Ying’s Sister Planet is Lisa Asynja, Lor Asynja & Maxje Constantine’s Jomsborg which just had its grand opening on Saturday! Meanwhile, here’s me hanging out with the farm animals.

Sister Planet
Kimika Ying (of Oceania Planetary Park where Virtual Ysidora danced last year) is working on a new installation, Sister Planet. It’s Venus. But not 2014 Venus. More like 1950 Venus with carnivorous plants and other mid-century fantasies. Ying’s also interested in taking the 19th century Steampunk sensibility and moving it forward to the 20th. Kind of like 1880 Steampunk & 2014 Planetary Science meeting in an alternative middle of the 20th century.
Anyway, Emma Pleyel-Maybe and I were hanging out there this week. We’re sitting on the rim of a surprisingly genteel, if active, volcano.

## Edie’s Farm VR Edition I was forwarded…
Edie’s Farm – VR Edition
I was forwarded a message from Hugh about helping out with a VR Construction project. (awesome! 🙂
Hugh had heard about a VR Medici University Campus, which Izzy has graciously pushed back to 2015 so that we can focus on creating Edie’s Farm starting on 1 August 2014. The website doesn’t currently have information on the VR Project, but here it is:
http://edies.farmI’m applying for an “LEA AIR” or Linden Endowment for the Arts, Artist in Residence Land Grant. If Edie’s Farm is selected as one of their Land Grant Recipients (gosh Ysidora, nobody deserves a compensatory land grant more than you!) then Edie’s Farm will begin on a generous 6.5 hectare plot of virtual land. Much like Warhol’s Factory this will be a collaborative place for experiments and activities. We may put some elements up to make it cozy, but the focus will be less on construction goals and more on inspired activities.
I hope everyone will come visit, participate, and play!

xtaforster
Good luck with the application. Let me know if I can help you. Ysidora and I will participate, no doubt!!
