2010 - i cannot turn back the clock....

happy new year...

i am not in the mood to write in caps and not really much in the mood to blog either...however, i just created a video-archived performance series for the React2010 exhibition called "i cannot turn back the clock..." (2010)...the videos should be online at the premiere of its launch sometime towards the end of the month, i am not exactly sure when.

these past few months, i am starting to realize that my time as wirxli is overdue...there are many other fantastic trickster avatar personalities out there - such as SAVEME OH - that are going beyond me in every way, shape and form...and i crave artistic renewal...

i passed my creative zenith as this avatar probably as early as late 2007... i wish to be someone new...someone else...i cannot turn back the clock...in rl, my optimism for 2010 is quite high but as wirxli, i am running out of authentic ideas that sustain my attention and my preferred creative direction......i think it will be better to go out with a bang than silently de-rez into virtual obscurity so i am working on that...anyway, here are some more pictures of this performance...

Inhuman Resources Exhibition

Hey everyone!

Yes, I know you have not heard from me in ages and I always promise (esp. in the New Year of each year) that I will be back in SL but the truth is, RL is just way too busy for me these days...sigh!

However, I (including my RL self) am curating a new show at the Alternator Gallery in Kelowna called "Inhuman Resources" on April 11th, 2009.

This show includes Liz Solo from Second Front and Mez Breeze.

For Liz's show, Second Front and the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse will be adding performance enhancements and Mez's collection of metaphysical avatar selves who will be communicating with each other in Second Life, Twitter and World of Warcraft is going to be super cool!

Well, here is the official hype below...maybe I will see you there in-world? The SLurls will be announced at the last minute so stay tuned for more info as it happens!

A Presentation on involvement in the music world: Featuring Liz Solo and more!
Admission by donation
Two new media performance artists from Newfoundland and Australia express themselves through the most popular virtual chat-worlds, video games and social networking sites. Using Second Life, World of Warcraft and Twitter as their chosen mediums of expression, these performances are literally out of this world!

Solo explains, “The gallery exhibit features a series of installed machinima (machine generated animation) pieces and a projected synthetic environment, all created inside of the virtual world of Second Life. Via an avatar the gallery visitor will be invited to explore the virtual space and interact with it. Visitors can wander in a field of giant eggs, play with virtual instruments, care for virtual infants, experience being virtually born from an egg.”

Liz Solo aka Lizsolo Mathilde (St. John's) will perform Live Alien Home Birth during which she will call on her friends Second Front - and the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse for support and coaching.

Mez Breeze aka Netwurker Twin (Australia) will use multiple manifestations of her core identity to coordinate a post-human and trans-dimensional literary ritual only possible (so far) in virtual worlds.
