Registration Unavailable by Gillion Grantsaan in Second Life

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Boom Pearls presented Gillion Grantsaan & Sabbabas in Second Life september 10. He has done a project together with a group of musicians from Ghana. He learned how difficult it was to use Second Life as a place to meet and work together across geographical borders. For his project, it was easier to bring all the musicians to Europe, though they all spend a lot of time in front of their computers. Organizing an art project was also about building up a story about the participants. He did that with a series of collages, texts, songs and a music video, seen below here.

At Boom Pearls homepage there’s a recording of Gillion Grantsaan describing the project, and a press release. The show was the last in the series running over two years, and a pdf with a presentation of the project was presented at the opening.

UKK visions 2004-2009

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

UKK has published a book for debate about conditions and potential for art in Denmark. The UKK, young artists and art mediators, work for more democracy in the danish system for support of the arts. UKK suggests less centralization, better integration for artist within the unemployment system and the schools, payment for artist’s work and participation in shows, more art as research and that the museums actually reflects what’s happening in the art scene.

In the book there’s also a section with pictures from 1970-2009 about art spaces, public space, project-process and self organizing. Virtuel walk is mentioned shortly in the book.

Endless Structure, Pernille With Madsen at Boom Pearls

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Saturday March 14 Pernille With Madsens project for Boom Pearls, Endless Structure opened in Second Life. The project was created in collaboration with NewBerlin, Jan Northoff  helped to connect to a scripter, who worked with some of the latest technology in scripting in SL.

The video below is from the opening. First theres a simple drawing at the ground, then it turns into a hole which draws avatars around inside, and then it the hole goes back to drawing state, before it goes upwards and turns into a building and with a hole turning up in one of the walls. Since its 3D it doesn’t go on, that’s not possible. So it loops endlessly.

Pernilles projects is about vertigo. Here it worked through the avatar, and the avatars pulled into the hole lost control in an unexpected way, though they might have read the press release. The french sociologist who wrote on play, Roger Caillois defined one way of playing as searching for vertigo, or ilinx. Since its also about using an avatar, the practice of the audience is also about playing a role, so theres a bit more to it than vertigo, eg mimicry, in relatation to audience patterns as suggested by Chris Bateman. Read more about Pernille With Madsen at her homepage, and at BoomPearls.com.

a walk in Hedehusene

Recently Supertanker held a workshop in Hedehusene, to create ideas for a game or a series of events with the intention to improve social competences in the area. They arranged a walk to inform about the neighbourhood. There’s some good ideas there, I hope they can be realized.
