Wednesday, May 9th, I visited “If the Mind is Absent“, an installation by Kerupa Flow within the LEA program.
Kerups writes in the landmark’s description “When something feels meaningful, I notice my own mind. Is it just a form? Or is it standing at the rare moment that my heart meets your heart?”
This description is a good start. At the landing point there’s a bit more information, in English and in Japanese, as Kerupa is from Japan.

Kerupa Flow’s “If the Mind is Absent” – at the landing Point

“Things differ depending on the viewers.
Physics? No, in my mind, in your mind.

Sometimes it’s a mistake
But illusion is a fun toy.
Sometimes it is a political confrontation.
It may be that we are opening our eyes at the risk of life.

I think that my sense of reality may have changed significantly in 2011.
It was a year of major disaster in Japan.
The things that are happening at that time reflect something in my work.
I myself often do not notice about it whan making.
I’m thinking about the meaning again while surrounding my past works.

Looking up at the sky at night, the stars away from the eyes’ focus are more clearly visible. I hope my work show things like that way.
I’m happy if you can enjoy my world a bit off the reality.

As much as possible, I will explain the meaning of what I made.
I know that it will not be the end of what you seeing.

enjoy”

“If the Mind is Absent” consits of a center piece that clearly is an interpretation of the Tsunami in Japan 2011. Around of this center piece are other works of Kerupa, maybe exibited before as single objects. They are either displayed stand alone or are in seperate rooms that you can walk into. The room “Invisible” deals with the catastrophy of 2011 again.
Kerupa works with optical illusions. No projectors are used but what you see depends on where you stay and look at. To experience Kerupa’s work you shouldn’t use your camera too much but walk around instead, walk into the art, feel it literally.
There are many heads, some are quite artifical and can be seen just from a certain viewing angel, otherwise they look like a chunk of prims. Other heads have a face on each side, that looks at you, but it is an optical illusion.
Another element of Kerupa’s art are silhouettes of humans and last but not least Kerupa uses optical illusions that draw you into the art. It is that you see always something different depending on where you are, that makes Kerupa’s work that particular.

I spent an hour at “If the Mind is Absent” and I still haven’t discovered everything. Kerupa’s art lets your mind roam, it is relaxing to just open your mind and let it happen. Memories, my own memories did pop up. My mind is never absent, I can’t switch it off. I interpret “If the Mind is Absent” as “If your mind roams, if your mind doesn’t deal with everyday life issues, if your mind does see soemthing that isn’t there (optical illusion).
I also got a new insight of what the catastropy of Fukushima meant to the people of Japan. It did not just destroy a whole region but it also destroyed the trust in technical progress, the trust in a better life and what is left are memories and chaos.
At most pieces you’ll find texts in English and in Japanese about the art and what Kerupa had in mind with it. There’s also recommendations of how to set your windlight setting (some art looks best set to “midnight”).

I took a lot of pictures again, but the pictures can’t reflect the three dimensional experience which is much more intense. Best is to see it yourself.

I like Kerupa Flow’s art and I’m very impressed of “If the Mind is Absent“. The installation should be open at least until June 30th. Thank you Kerupa for your work!

Diary 2018 (79) May 8th H@S closing

We spent most of Tuesday night, May 8th, shopping. Mistress Jenny and I got a message that H@S is going to close and they offer their clothes with a 50% discount until they close. Mistress and I both have a latex dress from H@S already and we wanted to take a look. Angelique accompanied us. The choice of clothes is not that large but what is sold at H@S is of a good quality and fits to our style.
I got another latex dress, a casual dress with a jacket and very nice latex lingerie in mesh (not as appliers). Mistress Jenny and Angelique also got a new dresses.
Then Mistress discovered a vendor for hair and she saw some hair for herself and for Angelique. Both tried demos and both got a new hairstyle finally. I admit, that I like Mistress’ new style as it looks a bit more strict *winks*, Angelique’s new hairstyle is a bit wild and fits to her temper.

May 8th: Angelique’s new hairstyle, Mistress Jenny’s new hairstyle, Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique and slave drone Flo at Mesmerize Dungeon

When returned home we picked up slave drone Flo and went to Mesmerize Dungeon to catch up with RL and Sl news while looking at some eye candy. And that’s it about Tuesday night.

Diary 2018 (78) May 7th The pear

Monday, May 7th, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. I showed Darkness Estate to Mistress Jenny and gave her a short tour. We took our slave drone Flo with us. And Mistress did discover some more rooms, which I missed on my first visit (read here).

May 7th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and slave drone Flo at Darkness Estate

At night I found an offline message from slave kelly who is suffering for Mistress Jenny and me at Lochme. We have her leashed in a cage there. But this leash is not attached to her collar or cuffs, it is attached to her serious plug, which is spreading her ass painfully. The serious plug in Second Life is also available in real life and slave kelly does have a clear picture of it and she also has pictures and a video of it. Hence she can fully dive into this experience ….
“slave kelly screams in anguish and frustration, helpless to do anything but endure the cruel device and humiliating public display. She sobs defeated, knowing she must suffer until her Mistress returns…..the same Mistress who put the evil device inside her and chained it and her to the cage and left her there…..knowing deep inside that the only person who will end her suffering is the same sadistic woman who caused it……the harsh reality glaring at her…..she is a slave and a pain pet of Diomita Maurer……..she moans loudly, the suffering and anguish morphing to the dark arousal of belonging to Diomita…….Diomita…..she repeats the name over and over again until she’s deliriously screaming it as she suffers in the cold cage“

May 7th: slave kelly leashed by the serious plug at Lochme

But that was not the only message I got. I also got a message from someone who met Angelique and praised her:
“Wanted to compliment your niece Angelique on her manners. She was very polite and well behaved and did not get any urine anywhere near my boots. I just thought you should know I was quite impressed on her training.”
After I showed the praise to Mistress, I answered “We pride ourselves on our dry floors“

May 7th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave drone Flo

It’s really nice to get such praises and Angelique was proud that she had pleased us. Angelique had also fulfilled her assignment to fill a glass with her pee. We had a relaxed night and played a round of skipee (Angelique won it). slave drone Flo came inworld and watched us playing. She can only communicate with a tiny LED indicating green for yes and red for no.
After we finished playing, I poured the glass with Angelique’s pee into slave drone Flo’s breather box so that she can enjoy our niece’s very particular scent *winks*.

We ended our night with a short visit to club DeLust before Mistress and I retreated to our private skybox for some togetherness.

As I was off for the weekend there’s not much to report for the diary about Friday, May 4th, and Saturday, May 5th. When I returned inworld Sunday night, May 6th, I first caught up with Mistress Jenny before we went home. It turned out to become a way more busy night than Mistress Jenny and I had expected it.

May 6th at home: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, slave Drone Flo, slave slut cecy, Anne, Angelique and Wiltrud

Angelique, Anne and slave Flo were at home and soon also slave slut cecy and Wiltrud joined us there. We put slave Flo into ther HybridZ drone suit and added a communication implant. Now slave Flo can communicate only with a lamp indicating “YES” and “NO”. It is an experience she had long ago before meeting us and becoming our slave – and now we will keep her like this, encased in her own world, for a while. We will have fun with our slave for sure! And Anne will have fun with her too *winks*
I selected something different to wear for Angelique, something very transparent and Angelique has to collect some of her pee, so that we can add it to slave Flo’s smell box.
slave slut cecy didn’t do her dusting at all the last week and hence will have to wait for permission to get another orgasm.

May 6th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Wiltrud and slave slut cecy at club DeLust

And Wiltrud? She knelt just close to me and was patient. We’re going to explore her submissive side and take control of it and her slowly and persistently.
After Anne, slave Flo and Angelique had left, Mistress Jenny and I visited club DeLust with slave slut cecy and Wiltrud for a few minutes. Time flew by way to quickly again.

Diary 2018 (76) May 3rd Darkness Estate

Thursday, May 3rd, I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We went to Heavy Bondage club and to Domme a Domme, caught up and enjoyed togetherness, then we had a round of skipee with slave Flo but we had to stop it as it was time to tend to our RL.

May 3rd at Domme a Domme: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita

At night, Mistress Jenny was off due to RL. I took slave Flo on a kinkploring tour to “Darkness Estate“. I had the landmark on my list for quite a while. I grabbed it from a profile when we were in a club quite a while ago. This is what I grabbed:
“Darkness Estate is the home of Mistress Kurumi (Kurumi Choche) and her property. It’s free to visit, explore, play and to have fun. Just remember the most important three rules
1. Mistress Kurumi is always right, doesn’t matter who you are, it’s her home so her word is law.
2. Stay out of the Mistress’s manor unless invited, if she wants to grace you with her presence you’ll know
3. Don’t be an eyesore! a not so small fortune is consistently spent trying to improve upon the estate so that its not just a box with toys in it, so if the estate can be presentable, so can you.”

Darkness Estate Overview

The landmark description is quite similar: “Estate of Empress Kurumi and her pets follow the rules of the Estate an the Empress’s word is Law : Domme Hypnosis Hypno Control Transformation Bondage Drone Findomme Ponygirl Piggy Hucow Objectification BDSM Lab Bimbo Bimbofication Sissy T-Girl Toy Doll“

Impressions of Darkness Estate (1)

Darkness Estate is on a large plot at the adult full sim ot Folsom Pines and it has a lot to offer.
In the town you can spend quite some time exploring. There’s a playroom, a night club, a cafe, a store for fetish clothes, a pet shop, an animal clinic, some pony carts, a gallery, a huge dungeon in an old plant building, a farm, pony stables and a park with podests for human statues. And we didn’t look into each building, so there’s for sure more to discover! I was quite impressed. Everything is build with an eye for the detail and there’s something for many kinks as the above tag list already indicates.

We also approached the manor of Mistress Kurumi but got a warning not to proceed already when we got close to the gate. During the time of our visit we were alone at Darkness Estate. You can join a group to get aware of events and of what is going on there.
Overall, Darkness Estate is a place I will revisit some day soon to further explore it or for playing. Thank you Mistress Kurumi (Kurumi Choche) for providing large parts of your place to the public.

May 3rd: Diomita with slave Flo at Mesmerize Dungeon / another weired eye candy

After our kinkploring tour I took slave Flo to Mesmerize Dungeon and we had relaxing time there chatting and watching and we also got another weired eye candy.

Simploring 2018 (42) Serendipitous Sands

Diomita on the beach!
Thursday night, May 3rd, I made a simploring tour again. I selected “Serendipitous Sands” from scoop.it SL Destinations and read the post of Isabella Coletti (Belladochas Minoptra) about it in her blog “The Second Life Tourist“.

Serendipitous Sands overview and Diomita on the beach

Serendipitous Sands is a beach sim, consisting of several smaller islands. Large parts of Serendipitous Sands are public, on some islands are beach homes, that are rented out. As they are private I kept off.
There’s not that much to write about Serendipitous Sands, but there’s a lot to see and to try out, in particular there’re a lot of beach chairs and other beach furniture and places to sit and dream. The sim offers a beautiful background for pictures and of course I took a lot of pictures! This way you’re going to see me on the beach *winks*.

Diary 2018 (75) May 2nd The pear

When I came inworld Wednesday night, May 3rd, slave Flo and slave kelly were present. I decided to have a look at The Apostasy, where our niece Angelique works as a maid. I hoped to see the rubber object, who provided the idea for the rubber project Anne is working at. But the rubber objext wasn’t present. In fact there was none.
I took the slaves first to Boundy’s shop. Boundy (Boundmaids) owns the manor where Angelique works as a maid. In fact Boundy’s manor it is the successor of the former Bound Maids, which was quite popular at its time but is closed for many years now. Boundy uses the same scripts that were used in the former Bound Maids manor.

May 2nd at The Apostasy: Diomita with slave kelly and slave Flo at Boundy’s shop getting the anal pear / at the maids house checking the maids ranking board

At Boundy’s shop I came across a butt plug, that looks really mean and painful, an anal pear. Spontaneously I bought one for slave kelly and inserted it right away ignoring all of her protests. The slave can be leashed at the pear and can be teased by electric shocks from light to extreme. Of course, there’s also an inbuilt vibrator.
We went to the maids house and checked the maids ranking list. Angelique is ranked #2 with a huge gap to rank #3. Well done, Angelique! The first rank is hold by maid Caitlin (Caitlin Penucca), who is uncatchable leading. Our slave Flo is listed as well, next to BC (Baroness Capelo) at a rank around #50.

May 2nd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave kelly at Mesmerize Dungeon (left) / slave kelly dancing at club DeLust (middle) / storing slave kelly at Lochme (right)

While we were at the maids house, Mistress Jenny joined us and we moved on to Mesmerize Dungeon to catch up and to expose our slaves. After slave Flo left for bed we had a short time at club DeLust where slave kelly danced for us and the other guests. She was always very aware of the new toy in her ass.
Before we went to bed, we stored slave kelly at Lochme for a change.

There’s not much to report about Monday, April 30th, at least not for the blog. I met with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon and we went to our secret retreat and just talked about plans, then played 2 rounds of Yathzee (no pictures).
At night we spent about an hour at home in our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer. slave Flo danced for us and for our guest Wiltrud Piccard. Anne joined us there and we talked also about slave Flo’s and her “rubber project”, soon Anne and slave Flo be nicely restricted *winks*. Mistress Jenny and I left slave Flo and Anne at home to further develop their project and visited Wiltrud’s private place (no pictures again).

April 30th at our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Anne, Wiltrud and slave Flo

Tuesday, May 1st, Mistress Jenny and I found slave Flo in a drone suit, HybridZ Latex Atemkontrolle. That is a drone suit, slave Flo had before we enslaved her and she was eager to experience it once again. Hence, the rubber outfit, that Anne is trying to put together (I call it Anne’s rubber project) will have to wait for a bit.
slave Flo wrote a manual for Mistress Jenny and me for this drone suit. There was just one minor but important issue: she couldn’t set Mistress Jenny nor me as her owner and hence we couldn’t control all menus except those that are public. slave Flo tried to reset the suit but she and we failed and we gave in after an hour. slave Flo will contact the maker now. Instead of playing with our drone slave Flo we decided to have a game of skipee before this short but relaxing night was over.

Simploring 2018 (41) Cicamobiles

I came across a little exhibtion of Cica Ghost’s litte cars following Inara Pey’s blog where she published “Cica at Paris Metro in Second Life” on May 1st. And since I discovered Cica Ghost’s art in Second Life I try not to miss any of her installations or exhibtions.
There are some elements in Cica’s art installations that are unique and you recognize her objects and creations immediately. There are these fantastic, mostly oversized, animals with a human expressions in their faces, often looking content and happy or expressing strong feelings. And there are her two-dimensional stick figures, which are often animated. In Cica’s latest installations she offered little cars to drive around which were adapted to the theme. At Paris METRO Art Gallery these cars are exhibited and I called them “Cicamobiles”.

“Cicamobiles” at Paris METRO Art Gallery: Catomoblie with animated picture “Night traveler” in the background (upper right) / MouseCar and BirdCar with animated pictures “She” and “He” in the background, on the left is the animated “cyclist on the wall” (upper right) / UmbrellaCar (lower left) / FlowerCar (lower right)

It’s not a big exhibition but it is nice to see all the cicamobiles together at one place and seeing them remembered me of my visits to Cica’s installations. In total there are 4 drivable cars (Catomobile, MouseCar, BirdCar, FlowerCar) and 3 non-drivable cars (UmbrellaCar, CrocoCar, Cica’s Bus) exhibited at Paris METRO Art Gallery.
At the entrance, just next to the Catomobile you see Cica’s animated picture “Night traveler” and on the other side appears “cyclist on the wall”, one of her famous stick figures. At the wall behind the MouseCar and the BirdCar are two more animated stick figures riding bicycles named “She” and “He”.

“Cicamobiles” at Paris METRO Art Gallery: Cica’s Bus (upper left) / CorcoCar (upper right) / Cicamoblies overview (lower left) / animated pictures “She” and “He” closeup (lower right)

A really small but nice exhibtion which made me look forward seeing Cica’s next work, hopefully soon.
Thank you, Cica!
Thank you rfb morpock, who founded the Paris METRO Art Gallery and thank you, Shiloh Emmons, Director of the Gallery.

Sunday, April 29th, Mistress Jenny kept me in my dark red light. She does enjoy it. We went to club Domme a Domme but luckily we didn’t meet the domme we met Saturday there. We stayed a bit, then Mistress took me to Heavy Bondage club for a while.
When Kitty came on surprisingly, Mistress Jenny unleashed me and allowed standing and we went seeing Kitty at Stones ‘N Rubber (sNr). The sim has quite changed lately, just the center stayed the same, that’s why I didn’t notice it when I visited last time. I should write a simploring post about Stones and Rubber one day. We caught up a bit with Kitty and watched what was going on at sNr, then Mistress brought me home to our skybox and had her way with me. She left me locked.

At night we were with slave Flo and slave slut cecy. She didn’t clean our house for one week. It might takes some time until she deserves a reward again. We went to Mesmerize dugeon with the slaves, where we met Anne. Anne is preparing a new rubber outfit for herself and slave Flo. I’m curios how the two will lock encased in rubber and restricted. slave Flo wears one single item of the new outfit already, big headphones that restrict hearing. Mistress Jenny kept slave slut cecy lying on the ground, just a little punishment for her laziness.

We also got some eye candy at Mesermize Dungeon. Well candy might be the wrong word, let say we saw someone who seem to have walked out of a comic strip. Second Life and the diversity of residents do always have something surprising on stock for us.

At the end of this night, Mistress Jenny took me over to club DeLust to wind down and to talk about our day.
