Second Life-live-performances!

at "Futurefluxus - Fluxus is dead"! We enjoyed several scores performed by "Second Front" like "Alice Denham in 48 seconds" by Al Hansen, "Play mate" - Teeter Totter with your own weight in carrots - and "Patina" - Urinate on an egg until it has a nice patina or until it explodes - by Larry Miller and Misprint Thursday performed an anecdote-like cross reality story and pixel Reanimator bombed us with random landmarks and notecards and his theoretical entry on Fluxus in the local chat…and Pinkpink performed "How to Explain Art to a Dead Harddisc" and showed "Missing a Kick" in the very end. In sum I guess it was successfull in both realities, although it showed up again the limitations and difficulties...but nevertheless the real life audience was highly impressed. See more pics at flickr.

MISSING A KICK

Watch an inworld-documentation video about "Missing a kick", a Cross-reality installation by Pinkpink, which still can be visited at CYLAND.

HOUSEBUGS - EXHIBITION at CYLAND ODDITORIUM

can still be visited -

Pinkpink really thanks the participating artists again for their works and patience - and she will try to show the exhibition at least one more time in real.

Unfortunately all the video-documentation filmed in SL during CYBERFEST she got without audio-track, so the documentation needs to be produced - and in general she was told that a real media-artist has a finished documentation already when he/she is leaving the place - OMG - she will definitely try to keep that in mind. :P

Nevertheless it became an interesting group-show. Be aware that some of the works are interactive, some of them combined with real life data and most of them need a special audio-setting.

To awake your interest:
- artist´s appearance in alphabetical order:



"Perpetuum mobili tap" by Igor Ballyhoo - he is also represented with the work "Hommage to an andalusian dog" and with "ballet of scissors".



Glyph Grave´s "Antarctica - an individual existence" is extremely cunning and impressing and already often reported. Come inworld to catch a notecard...also the The Antarctic Meteorological Research Center makes mention of it!

Cyberfest 2009 - another addition!

Visual impressions about the "Electric Alien" - Mixed Reality Performance on Nov. 24th 2009 in St.Petersburg and Cyland/SL. In RL Andrey Bartenev´s performance took place, which was streamed to Cyland/SL, where in an alien space inworld-visitors became aliens themselves and were part of the performance.

Virtual Cocktail Robot Award 1.0 at Cyland

Due to the CYBERFEST the first virtual entry ever appeared for our befriended organizers of the Roboexotica, the wirldwide onliest Cocktail-Robotics Festival held yearly in Vienna, Austria. Therefore last sunday the Annual Cocktail Robot Award (ACRA) was live-streamed to Cyland, and Misprint Thursday, a member of Brooklyn is watching, won the price with her wonderful Wodkabot! Although qDot Bunnyhug astonished and amazed all of us, when he on sunday afternoon connected his real life cocktail-robot with prims in SL, to start the RL-machine inworld. For that reason famous Hamlet Au visited Cyland and wrote on his blog New World Notes about Roboexotica! And the entry by Pinkpink in the category "other achievements" is also to be mentioned: it´s about her ashtrays: Shotbot, a reprap built at Metalab in Vienna, printing 3D shot-glasses, was given the sculpty-file from one of her inworld ashtrays, done in sculptypaint, converted with 3D Studio Max into an STL file, and realized it!! She was totally excited about it and now can "wear" it as a ring! :P

CYBERFEST summary

let´s say it with the words of a friend: it was a blast! although Pinkpink struggled in both worlds and always mentioned that probably all of us are here and there for the first time, there were a lot of things happening and we had more than 100 visitors! It seems also that we have some fans, to whom never one of us talked, they might be from the other side of the world, but we´d like to thank them for their continously interest: Floyd Field, Ever Rexen, Gilles Monstre. And it is definitely to thank a lot again to Mechatiki Research, who´s alien-avatars were the silent stars and who else helped a lot to manage the inworld scenes, and to 5tefan Negulesco, who kept us dancing to his supercollider live sounds, and to Mr. Stefan Lutschinger, who accidentally stayed in St. Petersburg, but then offered his (10) helping hands in real life - what we would definitely have missed, and he also took care a bit of Pinkpink´s nerves. And of course we also say a lot of thanks to the Cyberfest team, in the end all the technical problems were solved - and what we definitely learned for the future is: no more mixed reality events without enough bandwidth! Please bear with us. We thank you for coming and hopefully you had some fun or at least a kind of interesting impressions!
