Love Henry LEA8

Mfriend, Corey Segall, a fellow Flickr fan and great photographer, IM'd me and asked if I'd seen Tahiti Rae’s LEA8 Love Henry yet.  I had been over there for a Photohunt a few weeks prior but since I had crashed and was cooking and stuff at the same time decided it deserved a thorough explore, since it was super cool.  I tp'd over and we both donned the free period garb provided in the sim to explore.  He was a wealth of information about King Henry VII and Anne Boleyn and while the sim was very informative it was cool to learn from him since it was super late (or rather early) for me/my time and I was sleepy, lazy, and just rather enjoyed him giving me the info. while I relaxed and took a few pics in anticipation of blogging it.  The place has been blogged many times before but it's worth another post especially since it's only going to remain there through the end of the month.  If you haven't seen it be sure to visit.  While there you might enjoy the quest for information in various inspiring locations, learn some history, enjoy the beautiful builds and scenery and pose places, and listen to some enchanting music.   I was touched by the tragic love story about Henry and Ann and the debate as to the authenticity of a letter purported to be written by Anna to Henry in her exiled tower. Hurry over as this beautiful sim and build closes the end of the month.

Sunday the 27th of April at 1pm second life time, a collaborative Second Life work, The Russian Avante- Garde, opens in LEA8.  The virtual world exhibition is featured on four interactive viewing stations within the Museum and was created by Alpha Auer (Turkey), Bryn Oh (Canada), Caer Balogh (USA), Eupalinos Ugajin (France), Jo Ellsmere (USA), Nessuno Myoo (Italy) and Soror Nishi (UK). This is all part of a bigger RL exhibit held in the main exhibition hall of Moscow’s Manege Museum.  Tomorrow the SL exhibit is opening and will be streamed live and included in the RL exhibit thanks to Peter Greenaway (UK) and Saskia Boddeke/Rose Borchovski (Holland) and supported by the British Council.


The whole area is very interesting and I posted many pictures a short time ago on this blog if you care to scroll back, but at this time I will focus on the Coppelian  bots by Jo Ellsmere, and made a little video recording of their movements.  I am quite mesmerized by them.  But go see the immersive exhibit before watching this video, as the exhibit is so impressive life-size and in person, well, virtual person : )  Enjoy!
