Who: JueL Resistance
When: Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 7pm
Where: Wishfest 1.0 - Solaris II - Second Life
 |  |
As one of the first indie musicians to join and perform in Second Life, she has built a strong presence in the virtual world. A world where she is also known for her visual art work; her paintings, drawings and photography are displayed in various galleries throughout Second Life.
JueL also owns and performs at the infamous "Living Room #13" where she has headlined and hosted Naked Acoustic Sessions for almost 2 years, bringing in only the finest seasoned and raw musicians of SL.
JueL is currently working on her latest CD while preparing for her 2nd adventure to Mahoneyfest in Georgia. Her latest work in progress is a compilation of both recent and past experiences blended soulfully into a deep groove of blues, americana, folk and "unplugged acoustics".
We're very excited that JueL will be coming by to play Wishfest Sunday night!
Nick Noir will be going on right after her, at 8pm.
See you there!
Who: Cylindrian Rutabega

Wishfest 1.0 is a Flash Festival of music and arts!
Musicians, artists, DJs, dancers, poets and creative folks of all kinds will be performing on the Wishfest stages.
Think woodstock + earth day + a full moon rave -- just grab a stage and throw in your stream. All free! Just because we realized we could, and decided to experiment a little.
Join this group to be notified when acts are performing -- and for flash concerts in the future.
PERFORMERS:
If you'd like to perform, just drop me, Haley Bailey, an IM, and I'll send you an invite to be in the "Wishfest Performers" group.
Then you can jump on stage and type "/777" + the url of your stream.
You will be piped in to the sound system and are free to perform LIVE!
TO FIND OUT WHEN ACTS ARE PERFORMING:
Join the "Wishfest 1.0" group in Second Life.
DATE: TODAY - Saturday, March 22, 2008
TIME: 11am and 3pm SLT
Come see my pal Cylindrian Rutabega - along with the ChangHigh Sisters - performing LIVE.
I haven't seen the ChangHigh sisters personally yet, but for those of you, like myself, who are interested in both music artists, and the latest set design and visual performance art in the Second Life space, I hear they're pushing the envelope, and I think you'll be interested in checking out this show.
I'll be at the 3pm show, if you want to meet up there.
Cylindrian was very excited to be branching out a little from the traditional "music gig," and over into a new kind of artistic realm.
Here's a little more from the notecard from Cylindrian:
"ChangHigh Sisters will not only dance their beautiful firedances of an exotic and seductive nature, but will in the show, present the virtuals worlds first 2, 3, 6 and 7 acrobatic pyramids and will jump up in their rotating trapezes and show the harmony and elegance of an almost unseen kind ever before."

Wow this is really getting exciting. Seems like a lot of people are coming by tonight.
We were happy to see the opening mentioned in
Boing Boing and Massively this week.
So... Spot decided to have a party tonight in real life to coincide with tonight's
Second Life Art Opening.
That's right! Tonight! - Thursday, March 13 - from 6-9pm at Atlas Cafe, San Francisco.
They have good beer, wine and food there! Just come by after work.
We'll be out in the back yard. It's bluegrass night inside - we'll be outside.
Spot will be there live - with his projector in tow.
Hope to see you there!

Join us this Thursday evening from 6-9pm as the Node Zero Gallery takes the Second Life art experience to a new level with its latest collection of interactive exhibits from 8 emerging new artists.
(Sponsored by The Wishfarmers.)
Spot Draves (SL-Sp0t Schism), creator of the Electric Sheep Screensaver, will be there in person for a live Q and A session at 7pm.
"Sheep Vortex" is digital artist Spot Draves' first Second Life art experience (3D Art & Design by Somatika Xiao - a.k.a. David Stumbaugh). Note: You will have to have version 1.19.0.0 or later running.
(Remember to click your "play" button, and have video enabled in your "Preferences" under the "Audio & Video" tab.)
In addition to Spot's creation, this Node Zero Collection features the work of no less than seven emerging new talents: Georg Janick, Feathers Boa, Bryn Oh, Adam Ramona, Aiyas Aya, Ub Yifu, and Crash Perfect. (Keep an eye on the Node Zero Gallery category for more interviews with the artists.)
I can't tell you how to interact with these ones yet, or I'd be giving it all away. I'll let the art pieces explain it to you themselves...

| Cory Doctorow says: "This is a distributed rendering application that grabs its users' computers' idle cycles to create computationally expensive, vivid and beautiful animated fractals...The result is a breathtaking, psychedelic form of artificial life whose fitness factor is the ability to tickle the aesthetics of computer geeks." (and about Spot's DVD): "This isn't just trippy wallpaper -- it's not even just art. This is garage-band artificial life. Draves is cooking up a new species made of code, decision and cooperation, and this disc is a petri dish swimming with the organisms that deserve to succeed us here on Earth. I for one welcome our new a-life masters." |
The main Node Zero Gallery is also always open.
(Note: Click on the big doors to enter the gallery after your teleport lands you in the front entrance area.)

Spot's work is currently featured on the MOMA website and was also featured on the cover of this month's Leonardo. Here's the first part of a multipart interview with Spot, where he explains some of the background and technology behind the making of these artistic marvels. I'll also be interviewing a few of the other featured artists over these next few days leading up to the opening -- and taking you on tours through some of their interactive pieces. |
