A sneak-preview of Atelier Michinaga...

Hey Second Lifers and Avatar Performance Art Fans,

It looks like my fellow comrade in Second Front, Man Michinaga has not only got himself a new flaming avatar with matching Matrix-style shades, he has also just bought an exclusive lake-view property and has started a brand new art-making space called Atelier Michinaga!

The Man himself told me that Second Front will be allowed to use the Atelier to rehearse our performance art ideas to our heart's content! So, I guess he will be blogging about it on our official blog soon enough! Here are some pictures of this hallowed, yet soon to be plowed ground...

Within the space of a few hours, Man Michinaga had already propped up this new sign and changed the name formally from "Atelier Michinaga" to the "Michinaga-Lichty Arts Center." Nice sign, eh? It is great to see our Second Front performance art collective being featured on this snazzy sign :-)

I should also mention that within the space of a few seconds from re-entering Michinaga's new arts center, I was almost immediately solicited by a Real Estate agent named Seth Kilda. My word! What an awesome looking avatar! He asked me if I was (from the) "UK" and I said well I have dual citizenship...lol! He seemed nice enough and his small-talk was pleasant. Once he found out that I knew the owner of the property we were speaking on, he said, "you know Man? Yeah, he is a cool guy." Well, as soon as he found out I was not interested in buying any land at this time he politely said goodbye and trotted off to another plot of land...his formal excuse was that his RL (Real Life) was calling him...lol! It was kind of like saying he had a dentist's appointment or something ;-)

..and here was what Michinaga's art center looked like in the very early morning....

As you can see from this intro pic, his walls are very modernist and transparent...the only demarcation is the Atelier's title! I guess "truth to materials" does indeed apply to cyberspace environments ;-) He mentioned that he wanted to add some Po-Mo buildings and I was wondering if he was toying with the idea of hiring a deconstruction crew!

Here is a pic of Man Michinaga typing me a message. I am not sure why I took this pic...hmmm..maybe I was hoping to get a close-up of his flaming profile.



It has just occurred to me that Michinaga only starts turning into a flamer when he is building realtime objects in his virtual space. This looks like quite an impressive sculpture since it is only supposed to be a beta version (for more references to beta versions, scroll down to the next posting below)... He began to tilt this structure skywards and about mid-way up, it started to resemble the archetypal vortex form of a tornado. The tornado happens to be my personal herald!

...and here is the "tornado" now completely solid and upright...now it looks more like a sculpture Brancusi would make after listening to Stairway to Heaven on loop! Well, here we are standing on it like it was made of fibreglass... I think we can give Michinaga's first realtime virtual sculpture credit for literally becoming a "proof of concept"!

Disaster is likely to wreak havoc in the life of an individual as soon as he becomes victim to erectile dysfunction and the most significant dreadful consequence of erectile dysfunction is that the afflicted man becomes incapable of facilitating erections required for sexual intercourse. The sexual vacuum resulted from erectile dysfunction prompts the sufferer to opt for anti-impotency pills, most especially the viagra medication that was approved by FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) as a clinically effective drug to cure erectile dysfunction in men. Viagra is meant to be administered by patients only after availing of viagra prescription from the doctor. The prescription for Viagra provided by the doctor spells out that the patient suffering from erectile dysfunction seriously need Viagra to treat his disorder and further authorizes the patient to avail of Viagra from the pharmacist.

Generic Viagra is an oral treatment drug that has been developed to combat erectile dysfunction. The fundamental ingredient within the product is sildenafil, which essentially serves to work within the body, through the improvement of the blood supply into the penis, thus along for firmer, longer lasting erections.
