Plateau Reached http://www.alansondheim.org/ aaa series - video kanji stills on complex hypertropied objects (very beautiful) http://www.alansondheim.org/both.mp4 - reworking the hermaphrodite (short, dark) http://www.alansondheim.org/kanjj3.mov - aaa series in video (fairly interesting) http://www.alansondheim.org/ aabod series - 1-7 images used in body mapping; a-f beginnings of hypertrophia (some quite nice) my end of a conversation with Miulew Takahe in Second Life: [14:48] Alan Dojoji: If you're in the outer section turn the video on - [14:49] Alan Dojoji: I've been tuning it. [14:49] Alan Dojoji: That's a LONG time in SL [14:49] Alan Dojoji: I've been changing the space almost daily [14:50] Alan Dojoji: I've been here a lot - I don't know how long I'll have to use the space (Sugar's been out of touch) [14:50] Alan Dojoji: and there's a lot I want to do [14:51] Alan Dojoji: I hope so - I have performances coming up and want to carefully deconstruct the space, not take it down quickly [14:56] Alan Dojoji: Fairly often. It's gotten more confusing/denser as time goes on [14:56] Alan Dojoji: I keep adding the physical attribute to some of the objects to watch/record them going off-world [14:57] Alan Dojoji: And I'm trying to make the space a kind of liquid architecture/malleable space/deconstruction, whatever, doing a lot of writing about it [14:57] Alan Dojoji: :-) it's hard to create density in such a small area - so I don't intrude on other works in Odyssey - [14:57] Alan Dojoji: It's like Manhattan [14:57] Alan Dojoji: it goes up and down, not sideways [14:58] Alan Dojoji: Manhattan is HUGE underground with subways pipes water conduits archaeological remnants, fairly amazing [14:58] Alan Dojoji: But it doesn't move like this and it weighs more. [14:59] Alan Dojoji: That's part of the idea, a kind of negotiation [14:59] Alan Dojoji: My avatar is almost impossible to move at this point - I can't see around it - [14:59] Alan Dojoji: but it writes in the sky [15:00] Alan Dojoji: No, I think text would ruin it - it's more a landscape without signage, some sort of wilderness [15:01] Alan Dojoji: it connects directly with the writings which are kind of a naturalist's take on the thing. like looking at fossils. [15:04] Alan Dojoji: I collected them when I was youmnger - a kind of reading you have to do in an archaic landscape [15:05] Alan Dojoji: constantly with video and images, but it's hard to get the details. [15:05] Alan Dojoji: I'm running video now - [15:05] Alan Dojoji: I'd like to get a decent record but it's difficult [15:06] Alan Dojoji: On the other hand we're making a cd, some of this music will be on it. [15:07] Alan Dojoji: Yes if you run the music in the space - there are different songs in different regions [15:08] Alan Dojoji: I think the sounds adds but I've heard it too often - I don't change it as much as the rest of it [15:11] Alan Dojoji: Wow - it kept your avatar that long! I'm going to log off myself at the moment; I want to edit the video [15:11] Alan Dojoji: Nice seeing you as well! Perhaps in Sweden - [15:11] Alan Dojoji: Do look down below the exhibition space and in the skysphere above if you have tihe time - they're different [15:11] Alan Dojoji: Thanks - talk with you soon - [15:11] Alan Dojoji: bye now [15:12] Alan Dojoji is Offline | Alan Sondheim Mail archive: http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ | To access the Odyssey exhibition The Accidental Artist: | http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/48/12/22 | Webpage (directory) at http://www.alansondheim.org | sondheim@panix.com, sondheim@gmail.org, tel US 718-813-3285
