Diomita Maurer’s Blog

Saturday, July 8th, I was up for simploring. I looked up the SL destination guide as well as the blogs that I follow but no pick did come across that tempted me spontaneously for a visit. I decided to have a look at LEA sims, as I know that by end of June some of them at least had to be given up in order to give other artists the opportunity to show their talent. This way I found 16 Fields and Lichtbringer. Lichtbringer is a German group of artists, namely Frau Wu aka Just (justmetrying) who is responsible for Management, PR and events of the group and Elektra (hangrod.hax) and Louis Wu (cyberklon) who both are responsible for ideas and make Meshes, scripting, lights and textures. Lichtbringer is a German composite word, literally it translates to “deliverers of light”. It could be interpreted religious but in this case it is supposed to be taken literally – delivering lights. The group works together on projects since 2015 and is mainly inspired by Mario2 Helstein. I just had and simploring post about Mario’s LEA installation “Light Thoughts 3” – read here). Lichtbringer has an own website – http://lichtbringer-sl.com/ where they anounce events and installations.

Their current LEA installation at LEA 26 is named 16 Flieds. They describe it as follows:

“The sim is divided into 16 fields. In these 16 Fields works from Lichtbringer like Meshes, Particles, Advanced Lights, and animated Meshes will be shown. In the center is a meeting point for all lightfanatics to meet, chat and have a coffee. The field contents will be changed every week. Stay informed about changes by joining the Lichtbringer Group. The sim has a wide field of contents changing randomly. Photographer-friendly spots are involved. And of course events will follow as well.

I zoomed my cam out so that you can see the structure with the 16 fields and the meeting point.

16 Fields is just a great sim to experience the possibilities of light and mesh in Second Life and for someone who likes taking pictures it is just perfect! Each picture that I took grabbed a moment of virtual reality and can’t be repeated again. I had lots of impressions and the next pictures just show some of them. I ended my visit going to the central meeting point where I saw Louis Wu (cyberklon). Unfortunately he was absent so I could just leave a message appreciating the great work. His avatar is a piece of art in itself!

I ended my visit with a selfie at the meeting point. I can just recommend that you visit 16 Fields and for sure attending one of the events from Lichtbringer is something to be considered. Thank you Frau Wu aka Just, Elektra and Louis Wu for your great and inspiring work!
