My friend Dividni Shostakovich hosts LEA15 this round and currently has two exhibits there to enjoy through the end of the month. There is The Games we Play which is like a giant room of chess pieces that are much larger than life size by Krystali Rabeni. On anther several levels there is Everywhere Nowhere by Jade Yu Fhang. Be sure you click around as you can pose and animate in some place. I took a few pics of course.

The April Split Screen exhibit "The Scribbled Cliffs" by Scottius Polk will have in opening party and everyone is invited Sunday, April 7th at 1pm SLT. The DJ will be the wonderful and eclectic Isabelle Mavendorf, with dancing in the party zone. I went in for a sneak peak and snapped a pic of curator/owner Dividni Shostakovich on the path into the exhibit. Scottius made the cliffs exhibit his signature drawn textures. I followed the yellow brick (or maybe it's wood?) path up and into the cliffs surrounded by butterflies where I found a central area to rez the "bath tubs", hopped in as directed and floated around the exhibit. A picture speaks louder so here is a look.....

Today Split Screen's Danse Macabre by Cherry Manga opened and it will run through the end of December. There will be a exhibit opening party Sunday December 2 at 12pm SLT with DJ Izzy Mavendorf. Cherry's installation consists of a 3 level exhibit marked with her chess pieces, bone stairways, free avatar located in the large winged black and white multi-legged figure shown above at the landing area, floating words and appropriate sounds that change from place to place as you move, and nice mix of lights darks. Cherry did a machinima for it that can be found on Youtube or on Divi's blog.

Split Screen is now open with it's two latest artist exhibits featuring Shellina's "Apocalypse 2012: Who's Afraid of the End of the World?" and Pinkpink's "Lots of Nybbles". This is always a fun place to get up close and personal with some great immersive art by some of SL's finest artists. I visited Shellina's half first as it is very big and right there where you land at Split Screen. This VERY large black and white exhibit is best seen in dark light with major camming and it's fun to walk into. The following quote runs around it, "“It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.” ― H.G. Wells
Next I'd tp'd up to Pinkpink's exhibit and her note card explains: "Lots of Nybbles. In computing a "nybble" contains four bits and it is common to display a byte of information as two nibbles. In this work Pinkpink refers to a NYBBLE using 4 textures and 4 scripts to visualize a small element of a standard convention in an interactive way.
By walking around you change the appearance and on a key around you can rotate very slowly the best in mouselook and then watch it with the zoom-function of your operating system if possible and liked.

Visit Here: secondlife.com/secondlife/Beleza/128/128/9 or direct link here: SplitScreenHere. December 1st brought in the most recent Spilt Screen installation. Be sure to be on the latest LL viewer, Firestorm, or some other mesh enabled viewer to see as intended.
Last night I ran over to Split Screen to chat with Dividni Shostakovich, the curator/owner who gave me a sneek peek, and I fist stepped into Artistide Despres', "Let These Facts Be Known". I was like, "Divi, what is this, some kind of political statement or something?" I think he blandly said, "Something like, yes". He's really pretty patient with me. Well no doubt about it after I completely rezzed it on my newly installed "Firestorm Viewer". I heard shouts of a peaceful protest, police riots, all kids of protesting in fact. And the words around the picketer sculpt were clearly a statement about government. My photos can't do it justice, as the buildings around this are very cool as well and just need to be experienced. This is an awesome build that really should be visited and Divi blogged it saying, " The title is taken from the Declaration of the Occupation of New York City, which presents a list of 23 realities of political and economic life in the US and often paralleled elsewhere, ranging from the foreclosure crisis to bailouts to the commodification of privacy to torture and more." He provides a great description of both builds in Split Screen actually so check out his blog too: http://dividni.blogspot.com/2011/11/happy-anniversary-with-artistide.html or direct link here: DiviHere. After I absorbed the impressive and somewhat inciting exhibit of Artee who has been building since 2007 at New Caerleon, I hopped over to the "Other Side" to see Eupalinos Ugajin's "grace au Soleil" which means what?, "From the Sun".. I guess. I dropped down the entrance hole into a huge surreal sort of playground.There is a lot to see and do in this immersive installation. Enable media for this build. The note card says in part.. 1. A "Table des Captures" 2. "A very expensive machine by which Humanity tries to export Life before it destroys the Planet" 3. I needed a door… and just behind a 4. "Window wondering where to land" 5. Random images in camera's chamber. Are you the source or one element of the final image? 6. Zoetrope: what will the dancer inside empty or fill tonight? Or maybe those walls are the ones who invent her mouvements ? 7. Will you find the mattress of your dreams flying around with the help of this helmet ? 8. I was told it is on the way to find an "invisible island" but what happened to the passengers ? 9. You just sat on one cube and you are now a Landscape Architect for a few seconds. Are you precise enough to bomb the 1% claiming "This is MY GRASS" below you ?"... and more In other words it's a playground, ride around, click, check things out and enjoy. Also check out Eupa's "Some Day My Cow Will Come" at Twofish. These two latest Split Screen exhibits will run through December 31st at which time other artists will begin building their exhibits. Contact Divi in-world if interested in exhibiting. Congratulations to Divi and Split Screen for an impressive full first year of amazing exhibits by some of SL's finest artists!
Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beleza/74/9/22 or direct link here: SplitScreenHere. The Split Screen artist of the month is Soror Nishi who presents "Boogaloo" which is a magical garden of wonderfully colored and shaped trees and plants, "Scotti the Dragon", bean forest, and campfire with mushroom seating all brought to life in the special colorful, magic way that only Soror does. Dim the lights, enjoy the sounds and explore the swamp and forest area. The opening party will be held at 2pm SLT Sunday October 2nd. The sim usually fills fast so come early to enjoy dancing with dj Isabelle Mavendorf, or try to bump in later during the event. It's always a lot of fun at Split Screen. (Kara with Exhibit curator, Dividni Shostakovich) Soror's artist staement for the exhibit reads, ""The extensive attempts some make to populate this new world with "realistic" copies of the Old World show a colonial tendency to ignore the native culture and superimpose a pre-formed visual style on this new medium. This may be due to a fear of the new, or simply a lack of courage, hopefully Time will eradicate this anachronistic tendency."
It all started, or so I thought, when I said in the Split Screen group chat that curator for this cool SL art Sim, Dividni Shostakovich, was wanting to get a makeover, but was a little worried the girls might not like a new look on him. Of course I really said this in order to feel him and the group out on the idea since, God forbid, he had not changed skins for something like 3 years... longer than I've been in SL. He's not the shy type and told me he didn't need any help with the women, which is true, but anyway.. his good friend, Emma Portillo, jumped on the bandwagon and apparently a few of us girls had brought up this topic with him before. Emma soon organized "Project Innocent" otherwise known as ambush Divi and don't let him take no for an answer to a makeover night. We girls, of course, were the innocents, just trying to help. All in the name of presenting the most current most professional art sim curator appearance for PR purposes of course.... never mind we like to dance with a hot av.
Please keep in mind I was given permission to blog this event so poor innocent Divi wasn't really just totally ambushed by a bunch of fashionistas wanting to make him over, well ok he was, but I soon started to think he was actually enjoying it.. somewhat. *whispers* after 5 hours we wore him down and were successful!
Dividni Shostakovich needed a new look after 3 years in the same skin. Since he curates the Split Screen art sim a few friends and myself thought he should have a smoking hot, I mean, a new professional look. Emma Portilo, Izzy Mavendorf, and Eliza Wierwight were the primary interventionists and Bryn Oh was busy but made an adorable contribution to the cause. Divi was invited to dance and with sim name changed on the tp he landed in the middle of our group at a skin store. What could he do.. he was outnumbered by a bunch of beautiful women who love him so he did what any smart man would do and sat back for the ride. But first he changed all our group tags to "Divi's Divas" then changed his to "I'm a demo model for myself". "Project Innocent" turned quickly into the " the intervention convention ... this wasn't your intention?" We went from skin store to store having him pick up the demos we all agreed on. While at LAQ we also forced him into picking up a hair demo we all very much wanted him to get and wow... who would have thought a guy could be so attached to his old hair that this took on such an art of finesse that lasted hours before he relented. Or maybe he drug it out for fun, I'm not sure. But by the time we were done he did sound a little haggard and we kept him up waaaay past his normal early bedtime.
I sure hope those store models really were afk since we asked them to strip to show us their full skin so we'd know if it was good enough to make a purchase or not, then when we got no response to our varied inquires and comments tried to take them home thinking they were like mannequins we could throw over our shoulders and have at home to just drool ove.. I mean have around like works of art.
Once the demos were selected we went back to Emma's. With only 3 of us girls left Divi began the arduous task of modeling the demo skins with his shape since again there was no way in hell he would think of changing his shape.. so a few minn later he was in a the hunky new demo shape the ladies all liked. That didn't last long though and with his old shape again went through the demos..So we got him into some short briefs I found on marketplace that are a little loose and low in the back so he could be certain he was going to get the all around right skin and shape. We kept razzing him about his shape until he suddenly got very short and chubby .. which is when I decided I needed a dance, so we all took turns dancing with Divi, then he got skinny... so we took a pic. He returned to normal and we did insist he eventually bump up his booty a bit as you couldn't' tell where that started from his back and we girls all agreed his arse was a bit too skinny and needed to be a little more "squishy" as one of the ladies said. We kept reminding him we loved him and were only trying to help and that within a week he'd be used to the changes.. and that we were already used to it and happy with change. We stopped short of making him model any "extra" parts to be assured skin tones, agreeable size, shape, styles matched etc., but he did mention something about each of us helping out in that area later.. I had no clue what he meant by that. Especially since we were going to get this job done one way or another before he chickened out... and a few times we did worry he was just humoring us and would be back in the old stuff the next day, especially when he once poofed... but thankfully he returned and we all came to a consensus.
Divi kept wanting to put on the plush pink full body Intrigue Co. bunny suit Bryn Oh sent to him during our makeover as Bryn couldn't be with us. So part of the demoing was in the pink bunny shorts before he put the briefs on then later we all went back to the stores and Divi did get his new permanent (or so we hope) skin and hair...woot! Success!.. but by then I was also in my Intrigue Skunk pjs that I had from before, so Emma and Izzy quick got some off marketplace and we returned to her house for the "after" picture. We got distracted and danced a little and finally did our "after" pic in the pjs outfits, but then I couldn't really see how hot the new Divi was so today I had him come over for a quick snap of the NEW Divi, and thankfully he was still in the new Divi skin and hair. All in all this was a LOL, pee your pants, funny good time kind of evening, and Divi has his new smoking hot.. I mean ... professional curator look.

(Inverted Paths)
"Split Screen will have an opening party *this Sunday* for its newest installations: "Random Walk" by Selavy Oh, and "Inverted Paths" by Kolor Fall. The installations open to the public on Sunday, 31 July, and run through 31 Aug. >>> OPENING PARTY <<< will be Sunday, 31 July, at 2:00 PM SLT. The DJ will be the fantastic Isabelle Mavendorf" states curator Dividni Shostakovich.
July 31st opens the Split Screen exhibits "Random Walk" by Selavy Oh and "Inverted Paths" by Kolor Fall. Miso Susanowa still has "Time as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones" on the sky platform as well. (See prior blog post with machinima) (Random Walk) I dropped into Split Screen early to chat with Divi and have a sneak peek before the official opening on July 31st. The only problem with coming early is that the note cards are not available yet and Kolor's works are sometimes deep, often mathematical, and have meanings I don't always easily understand without him explaining what he is intending. From what I could see Kolor's "Inverted Paths" is a darker area of shapes that to me resemble some sorts of sea life, inverted 3d triangles, bubbles, and parts that seem to follow me when I walk. It does look cool and I guess it's ok to run around in it as it's parts move all over and his works are usually designed like that to play in. Selavy's "Random Walk" on the other hand is a light area in the air, of "continuously changing algorithmic installation belonging to a series of permutative spatiotemporal works. visitors can actively influence the evolution of the installation by flying through it or can incorporate the avatar into the work by 'sitting' on one of the elements." V2 with shadows is recommended but I just can't bear it so I apologize if my photo is not up to snuff really. It still looked cool to me on Phoenix. OK, so that was a direct quote from Selavy's blog about it. I assume Kolor's would sound similar. To me that means its fun to play in, stuff moves around you and kind of interacts with you. Yeah I admit my explanation is like the "Art appreciation for Dummies" blog. But hey, it works for me. At any rate these two exhibits are very cool and fun so check them out when you get a chance.
Visit Split Screen here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beleza/74/201/1501 or direct link here: MisoSplitScreenHere.
Split Screen has two artists preparing their exhibits for August for the normally scheduled bi-monthly double artist large immersive installation Split Screen hosts. But in the interim, Miso Susanowa has her "Time As A Helix of Semi-Precious Stones" piece on the Split Screen platform for all to enjoy. " Set to Midnight, have particles to at least 4096 under Graphics, and turn local sounds on loud (not the music stream). You can sit on the build too!" Just my style.. art to play in! But for all you techys there is a lot more to it.
Miso's associated note relays some of the thought put into the installation. She presents as a Composition for Kandinsky saying, " Kandinsky saw houses and churches decorated with such shimmering colours that he said "...upon entering them I had the impression that I was moving into a painting." Music was also a critical influence on his painting and this piece has a soundtrack that plays with time. In Kandinsky’s work, some characteristics are obvious while certain touches are more discrete and veiled; they reveal themselves only progressively to those who make the effort to deepen their connection with his work.
Right-click to sit on the Mondrian grid and use your camera to look up, down and around the piece to enjoy the experience of Kandinsky's vision translated into 3D. Try all preset lightings.
You can get a mouselook view by pressing Esc twice. If you prefer an outside cam view and you get Mouselook on sitting, unsit, then use your cam controls to move your cam, then resit."
"The title is adapted from the Samuel R Delany story, "Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-precious Stones," a title which always has invoked for me a mystical, philosophic mood quite apart from the story itself; a kind-of abstract mantra guaranteed to put me in a reflective mood."
The note goes on to state...."I am fascinated at the computer's ability to make infinite shadings and tonals of color combined with translucency/reflection/transparency; a plastic fantastic palette."
While I was visiting and taking video someone (whom I wasn't fast enough to ask permission to quote) posed the question to Miso in the Split Screen group asking, "would it defy time if the direction of rotation of the panels was from the red to the green? [16:34] Miso Susanowa: erm.... i am not in control of the particles/panels [16:34] Miso Susanowa: the wind controls some; physics controls the rest [16:34] Miso Susanowa: the particles are being sent out in rotating semi-random patterns, in the math [16:35] visitor: oh [16:35] Kara Trapdoor: I knew that [16:35] Kara Trapdoor: : ) NOT [16:35] Kara Trapdoor: Diviiiiii [16:35] Dividni Shostakovich: ;-) [16:35] Kara Trapdoor: hahaha [16:35] Dividni Shostakovich: hi Kara! [16:35] Kara Trapdoor: hey [16:36] visitor: perhaps I chose a bad moment to look at its rotation [16:36] Dividni Shostakovich: more likely a good moment, because it suggested things to you [16:36] Miso Susanowa: the patterns used by the generators have different "shapes" to their dispersion [16:36] Miso Susanowa: those dispersal patterns were then randomized by hand... [16:37] Miso Susanowa: and then some few, interspersed, were made subject to wind [16:37] Miso Susanowa: so any "patterns" that show up are basically coincidence [16:39] visitor: well I like it [16:39] Miso Susanowa: thanks! [16:39] visitor: how long will it be here? [16:39] Miso Susanowa: *points to Dividni* ask him [16:39] Miso Susanowa: he's the honcho :) [16:40] Dividni Shostakovich: actually I don't know -- it's officially an "interim" piece between the next two big builds, but if the artists there don't need the prims then "Helix" will stay up -- the last interim piece, Misprint Thursday's "Digital Glove," stayed up for three months [16:41] Kara Trapdoor: beam me up scotty I want to see... [17:07] Dividni Shostakovich: :-) [17:07] Miso Susanowa: and I didn't want it in a giant black box... yet on the ground, the focus gets grabbed by seeing things through it [17:07] Dividni Shostakovich: I'm glad you could put it up in full form here -- and I didn't even know! [17:07] Miso Susanowa: this is how I made it [17:08] Miso Susanowa: in IW I have it much much larger, and the trees are set on the mountains [17:08] Miso Susanowa: as for the meteor [17:08] Miso Susanowa: i dunno. I put it and took it out a half dozen times [17:09] Miso Susanowa: it just seems to balance things [17:09] Dividni Shostakovich: it's funny how those things work [17:09] Dividni Shostakovich: i like it [17:09] Miso Susanowa: to give a nice horizontal depth in a line with the grid and between the trees [17:10] Miso Susanowa: a lot of elements in my work are not plotted [17:10] Miso Susanowa: i am more a sculptor than builder [17:10] Miso Susanowa: as I work, my hands do things and then i try to listen to what they are telling me [17:11] Miso Susanowa: then perhaps I assemble an "overview" of the piece... but it is the making of it that informs me [17:11] Miso Susanowa: my hands know things I don't
Well I just thought those were cool quotes from the maker of the exhibit since the first part was way over my head, as indicated by my interjections : ) and the last provides some insight into the artist. Check out this cool fun exhibit and keep your landmarks for Split Screen that seems to be hosting some of the best artists SL has to offer since opening.
Miso made a machinima of this too.. and you can check it out on Divi's blog here:http://dividni.blogspot.com/ or direct link here: DiviMisoHere.
Hurry over to Split Screen, as there is only a week left for the two June exhibits: "D. Construct" exhibit by Douglas Story and Desdemona Enfield and "FlowerDrum" by Eliza Wierwight. Eliza's "FlowerDrum" provides the visitor vignettes of the Orient in her life. "D. Construct" is housed inside a dark ball and instructions let visitors know to click on one of the many small famous paintings on the wall. Once this is done a large replica shows on the wall. The sign guides visitors through clicking the large picture again to see it basically fall apart in color disc pieces to a pile on the ground, and subsequent clicks cause the discs to fly back up creating a moving colorful light show experience prior to the original picture being reconstructed. Visitors are encouraged to play on the art. Media is used in Split Screen exhibits.
My friend, Dividni Shostakovich who is curator, states, "The Split Screen Installation Space is place where artists and builders develop and exhibit large installations. Two artists use the space for two months, and then other artists take over. The space is meant for large builds that utilize the possibilities of Second Life as an artistic or immersive medium, such as works that are impossible in real life."

"Second Pool" "An installation by Oberon Onmura I created this "Second Pool" in memory of Sabrinaa Nightfire, who asked me to do a piece for her show "Enter ..." at Caerleon about a year ago. That piece turned out to be a pool, as well, different in many regards, but similar as a place of contemplation and peace.
Click the blue cubes at the corners for a transporter orb to the bottom. Watch out for the swimming things. Even though they look fragile, and many of them die before reaching their goal of escaping the pool, they can give you a strong bump if they happen to touch you.
Thanks to Dividni Shostakovitch for commissioning this work at Split Screen Installation Space!

"SPLIT SCREEN INSTALLATION SPACE: MISPRINT THURSDAY'S "DIGITAL GLOVE" SHOWING IN MARCH
Misprint Thursday's extraordinary piece "Digital Glove," which exploits the capabilities of video in SL and won *four* awards during the University of Western Australia's art contest in February, will be at Split Screen's sky platform this month. Be sure to turn on video when you arrive, or you'll miss the entire thing!"
Split Screen typically hosts two artists who spend about a month preparing their large immersive/environmental artwork then show for a month. There are two artists working on this now, but in the interim Split Screen is fortunate to host "Digital Glove" a must see.. Check it out here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beleza/71/202/1501 or direct link here: SplitMisprintHere.
I stopped in this afternoon for a peek at "Digital Glove" and Betty Tureaud, Obvious Schism, and Divi were kinda hanging out while others were down below at Split Screen. I had my media going, so immediately saw the show and hopped on one of the "bikes" to watch the video and listen to the music sung by Misprint. I attached the provided hud and clicked for her additional information notecard and video.
Misprint's card provides information which in part includes the following information: "www.misprintthursday.com
"Digital Glove is a video art installation with an original video and collaborative song with lyrics and vocals by Misprint Thursday. Lyrics Digital Glove
Who will be my digital glove My digital glove My saccharine treacle Who will be my digital glove My digital glove The Hyde to my Jeckyll
One Two Three Four Five Show me that I'm still alive Six Seven Eight Nine Ten I want to do it again

Split Screen is re-opening this weekend with its February installations. Split screen North hosts Misprint Thursday's "White Shirt". Location: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beleza/65/187/21 or direct link here: WhiteShirtsHere. Split Screen South is currently host to oona Eiren's, "Live" at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beleza/43/86/30 or direct link here: LiveHere.
"White Shirt is a site specific installation dealing with the personification of a white shirt," states Misprint's info. card.
Oona's note says, "Live!........was created while I was building some vintage Hi Fi record players and TVs. As with most of my work the piece emerged from a series of unconnected ideas. These may have come from a sound, or a drawing, something someone said, an image from a film or the tv ... it could have come while out walking, listening on headphones to my current favourite sound works."
>>> Both installations use MEDIA and other settings -- please read the notecards!
Dividni Shostakovich's note says, :"The Split Screen Installation Space is part of a sim where artists and builders develop and exhibit a large installation. In general, one or two artists will use the space for two months (give or take), and then another artist will take over. The space is meant for large builds that utilize the possibilities of Second Life as an artistic or immersive medium, such as works that are impossible in real life."
Be sure to visit both installations. There is a teleport on the Split Screen kiosk near the landing point. There is also a store for the artists (who receive all proceeds).
