På utstillingen viser jeg en del av mine egne ting, 2d og 3d, verk av inviterte og venner fra rl (real life) og SL (Second Life), og en del verk fra kunstsamlingen min (for jeg har begynt som kunstsamler også).

På åpningen vil det være en performance av den canadiske kunstneren Jeremy Owen Turner; Wirxli Flimflam er navnet hans i Second Life. Det er så herlig! Han er en av favorittkunstnerne min der inne, pluss Gazira Babeli. Hun er også med på utstillingen.

Wirxli har med seg to gjester i performancen.

3) Patrick Chan has just completed his PhD at Melbourne's RMIT University in Australia. Chan's dissertation examined the production of South-East Asian post-colonial spatiality and subjectivity in relation to theoretical writing and design practices through the School of Architecture and Design at Melbourne’s RMIT University.

His current research continues to look at how theoretical writing can become part of the design process and is not merely as a tool for reflection.

This entails looking at different ways in which designers and design theorists may treat the composition of theoretical texts.

  1. Ordnet meg konto og greier. Heter Jorsol Tenk, men alt låste seg. Prøvde å skru av og på PC-en, men det hjalp ikke. Fikk også noen feilmeldinger fra second life. Synd jeg glipp av åpningen, men kanskje jeg kan ta en titt senere?

  2. Å, søren, synd! Det var så gøy. Masse folk kom. Det kan være noe av årsaken til at du ikke greide å komme inn. Jeg hadde nok hypa åpningen for mye! Wirxli Flimflam er jo berømt, (ihvertfall på Second Life). Det kommer en rapport fra åpningen etterhvert, og video av performancen. Kanskje jeg lager et lite party bare for dere venninnene om litt.
