lessons http://www.alansondheim.org/hermes.mp4 hermes as alan dojoji transforms into hermaphrodite after melding among julu twine objects dojoji first appeared as female in open sim; i kept the female 'skin' which now covers a male body. hir movements are also 'male' as far as open sim is concerned. the first part of the video is twine in dance among a thick set of objects, as if in preparation for dojoji's transformation. http://www.alansondheim.org/reflection.mp4 the image of an angel is an angel: julu twine's wing-objects reflected in open sim's water. from the viewpoint of julu, her body doesn't exist; however the water carries the charge of the body. this is the opposite of vampirism, where the body appears in 'reality' but isn't reflected. what are the consequences of this ontology? (below) here are detailed film stills; the first group of images present twine with her wing-objects and thick set of external objects and emissions, and the last two are closeup images of alan dojoji among them. http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo0.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo1.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo2.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo3.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo4.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo5.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo6.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo7.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo8.png http://www.alansondheim.org/nudojo9.png
