Monday July 4th, I was inworld in the afternoon for about an hour. I visited a sim, Kitty had recommended it, then upon my return home I had a chat with Flo before I had to log off again to tend to my RL.

At night I spent some time alone at club DeLust, then slave Luci joined me there. That was quite fitting as I had the time to tell her about the July outfit and she could change into it. We stayed at the club for a while and returned home, when slave Holly came inworld. I called slave Alessi and we first played a skipee as teams – slave Holly with slave Luci against slave Alessi and me. It was a nice game that went back and forth and at the same time I could chat a bit. slave Holly and slave Luci won the game.

I went to Psi’s realm with the slaves that night. Merina and slave L were there and a few other known faces. I had fun locking up the slaves and keeping their attention on me. There was even some main chat going on … and the slaves did behave very well. Good girls!

We stayed the rest of the night at Psi’s realm and it was beyond bedtime when we returned home. Time flies way too quick sometimes.

Tuesday, July 5th, I was not inworld during the day due to my RL. I knew that I would miss Mistress and I had left a notecard for her to fill her in about the last days. She left some lines, telling me to say hello to everyone and to spank Holly (another form of an hello). She was still enjoying her vacation and was looking forward to coming home.

When I came inworld I also had a message from slave Holly. She had a chat with Kitty in the morning. Kitty is keeping SL busy “causing a little chaos here and there and laughing all the way home. Well, almost. The last adventure went sideways. Trying to get out of locked restraints again…”. Kitty was also back on her 5 times 1 challenge: “Kitty picks 5 locations and gives herself 5 minutes to cause a little havo… fun in each, 1 minute per sim, usual suspects are Lochme, Psi’s, FDS, DCR, Slave Storage, Sleep Hill, to name a few.” slave Holly thinks that Kitty should be rewarded for spreading her charity so widely” …to sum it up, slave Holly and Kitty had fun horsing around.

As none of the family was inworld, I went to club DeLust, sat down and watched the time going by while looking at some eye candy. Faye (Boy Serenity) came by and decorated me nicely and I had quite some chats.

I returned home after more than an hour and met slave Alessi there. We began a game of skipee to make slave Holly come inworld. And it worked out well as Holly appeared right on the spot. We played a game together then. Sakura (sakuramatsumoto) joined us and knelt by the table while we played. We chatted about ideas for Mistress’ return and for our Firday night party – and we decided already for a theme.
After the game we visited Carnal Intentions and club Domme a Domme and again it was way after bedtime when we returned home.

Art in Second Life 2022 (69) Refractive Index by Adwehe

I visited the light installation “Refractive Index” by Adwehe that was opened July 20th at Artsville.

“Adwehe presents a stunning installation bathed in 16 different EEPs of her own creation, transitioning from one to the other very slowly, thus coloring the installation in different shades much like a dynamic 3D abstract painting.” (taken form the accompanying notecard).

Impressions of “Refractive Index” by Adwehe at Artsville (1)

Upon landing you’re asked to set your viewer to use Shared Environment, enable Advanced Lighting Model, set shadows from Sun/Moon + Projectors and to turn you sound volume up. And I can only recommend to follow the instructions as Adwehe’s installation is based on these viewer settings.
You enter the installation through a long tunnel. On it’s sides you find the wavelengths of different colours and different refractive indexes for these colours.

“In optics, the refractive index of an optical medium is a dimensionless number that gives the indication of the light bending ability of that medium. The refractive index may vary with wavelength. This causes white light to split into constituent colors when refracted. This is called dispersion. This effect can be observed in prisms and rainbows, and as chromatic aberration in lenses.” (source wikipedia).

Impressions of “Refractive Index” by Adwehe at Artsville (2)

“Refractive Index” consists of different elements. It seems to be a court surrounded by town houses on the first glance. But there’s also a single house on the other side. There are sculptures arranged on the court: two hands, some dancing figures, other figures and abstract objects. The scenery is very different depending on when you visit. I saw it in bright yellow, in red, in blue and in green. The ground is transparent and the the light from the ground changes as well.

Impressions of “Refractive Index” by Adwehe at Artsville (3) – 4 pictures of the same view

What seems to be rain first are particles that form words. I saw: silence, truth, post-truth, expanding, breaking-up, reflecting, responding, recording, focus, colliding and refractive. I assume there are more. Around the corner is a semie transparent wall with a quote from José Ortega y Gasset “… the stupendous reality that is language cannot be understood unless we begin by observing that speech consists above all in silences“.

Spheres of different colours pop up every once in a while. The combination of permanent changing colours, the permanent changing particles and the changing spheres make this installation so outstanding. There’s no single scene that isn’t unique. Every single picture you take is unique and not reproducible.

The sound adds to the experience. It’s not music, there are words and noises of different kind.

Impressions of “Refractive Index” by Adwehe at Artsville (4)

I took quite a lot of pictures again. The installation “Refractive Index” captivates the visitor. You can’t get enough to take different points of view. Everywhere there is something new to discover. And what was just blue now appears in red or is covered by a colored sphere or the particles become words or …. or. An intriguing great piece of art in Second Life. Thank you Adwehe.

Adwehe joined Second Life in September 2018 and describes herself in her profile as “Instable media Artist, Sound explorer, Painter and Photographer“.
What I saw so far from Adwehe was always very different as she tired out herself and the artisitic opportunities that Second Life offers: “I explore an ever changing drawing using lines, light and darkness, strong color and whatever i can find to express. Creating depth and perspective expanding the dimensions of the exposition room, mostly abstract and animating. The theme’s I always come back to are everlasting change, transformation, (in)stability, chaos, light, color, movement, slowness and (different) ways looking at the world. I mix textures from my traditional RL drawings, acrylic and oil paintings inside and outside of SL to achieve abstract and figurative patterns, moods and motions“

You can find more of Adwehe, mostly unedited landscapes and some art snaps, on her flickr page.
In the Virtuality blog you can find an interview by Violet Boa with Adwehe here.

Artsville is owned by Vally Lavender-Prodigy (Valium Lavender). Artsville was created in collaboration the Art Korner blog, owned and founded by Frank Atisso. Thank you Vally and Frank for creating Artsville and providing the space for the arts.

Saturday, July 2nd, I met with Mistress in the later afternoon. We caught up with our mutual news and she told me about her journey and what she saw and did. She was very happy and looking forward to the last part of her vacation. It might have been the last time that we could meet before she would be back home. slave Holly was also inworld and we went seeing her. Mistress was very proud of slave Holly and how she managed to execute Mistress’s plan the day before. After a hug, Mistress had to return and I took slave Holly to club Domme a Domme for a few minutes before I tended to my RL again.

July 2nd: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and slave Holly at home/ Diomita at club Domme a Domme with slave Holly

My night began relaxed. Flo and slave Holly were present and we played a game of skipee first. After the game I told Flo about the slave outfit for July – nothing but restraints, chastity belt and ballet boots are allowed. Flo changed, but had some troupbles unfortunately. I too Flo and slave Holly to club DeLust and tried to help Flo and teased slave Holly. I restricted her quite tightly and she enjoyed the (restricted) view she had.

After Flo had went off to bed I allowed Sakura (sakuramatsumoto) to approach us but warned her that I would gag her tightly. She did approach and of course I did gag her completely (including IM to me). I used slave Holly as my seat for a while while I continued to tease her.

Finally I went home with slave Holly and Sakura (sakuramatsumoto) and went to the naughty girls room, where I leashed Sakura to the wall and then ordered slave Holly to lick e to a nice and intense orgasm. Afterwards I had to pee …. slave Holly got her fix. In the meanwhile slave Alessi had come home. She waitied in front of the naughty girls room until I came out with slave Holly and Sakura. I took them all to the sun terrace where we chilled a bit before going to bed.

July 2nd: Diomita at home with slave Holly, Sakura (sakuramatsumoto) and slave Alessi

Sunday, July 3rd, I wasn’t inworld during the day due to RL. I came inworld in the early evening and visited a gallery. I had an offline IM from Flo, who told me that she had some RL issues preventing her to come inworld. I did my gallery visit, and logged off for an hour. When I returned later, Flo was inworld later on a phone connection so that we could chat at least. She left when slave Holly came online.
slave Holly and I caught up with our news and even without Flo we playe our customary game of skipee. Sakura and later slave Alessi joined us at the table.
I decided to take the slaves to club DeLust that night. I ordered Sakura to dance for all guests, slave Holly and slave Alessi knelt by my feet. It was full at club DeLust as it was the July 4th weekend. Next to us, a domme and her slave wife were teasing a slave and humiliating her in public. After a while I allowed Sakura to stop dancimg and she joind slave Holly and slave Alessi in decorating me well. I had a relaxed and enjoyable night. I talked with the slaves about the scene that we could follow – and to my surprise all of them were not very aversed to experience that themself. I made a note th talk with Mistress about upon her return.
Time went by quickly again and we returned home at after midnight.

Art in Second Life 2022 (68) Amaranthine by Zia Branner at BOSL Arts

21 Jul 2022 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Art in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

I got an invitation to visit the opening of Zia Branner’s latest exhibition at BOSL Arts. I went there Saturday, July 16th, a few hours before the official opening event. I just had seen Zia Branner’s art at the Gateway Gallery (read here).

I have never been to Best of Second Life (BOSL) before, The place is group owned, the group is described at a “group of fantastic artists that bring life to THE BEST OF SL Innovation Pavillion.” It is home to Miss Virtual World Pageant, BOSL Magazine, BLVD Models, the BOSL Arts Gallery and features some designers. Frolic Mills is the CEO and Jamee Sandalwood the COO of the group. I did not find out if they are the owners.
I only visited the gallery and the exhibition of Zia Branner.

Impressions of “Amaranthine” by Zia Branner @ BOSL Arts (1)

The gallery building is quite large and offers enough room for the about 25 to 30 pictures that are showcased along the walls of the gallery and at the two center blocks inside. When enter the building from the right (open) side you find a board where you can grab a gift from Zia Branner and some information about her and her art, a biography and a booklet. The exhibition poster has no name for the exhibition  but next to the board is a sign “Amaranthine”.

The word “amaranthine” means “imperishable”, but is mainly written in English as “amaranth” or “amaranthus”. It comes from the Greek word “amarantos”. Amaranth is a plant genus that grows almost everywhere due to its unpretentiousness and is interpreted in the poetic sense as a symbol of immortality.

Impressions of “Amaranthine” by Zia Branner @ BOSL Arts (2)

“Zia Branner had many drawing and painting art lessons at official institutes RL. She is also autodidact on things that did not come along in class. To her making art is a way of life. Often experimenting with techniques as a learning process …. The most important thing to her is that it makes her happy to see others enjoy her art as much as she loves creating it.”
Zia is in Second Life since 2008. She uploaded her RL paintings into SL. Zia owns an art gallery/shop “Elven Falls Art Collective“. Zia also has other permanent exhibitions at The Galleries, Emergent and at Carmel Art Community.

Zia Branner’s art is mostly colourful. She paints abstract and fills the canvas with what just in her mind. She’s inspired by nature and landscapes and consequently her art often looks like landscapes or like flowers. Hence the boarders between abstract and real life paintings are blurring. And what is dominating lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Zia intends to expand her art into painting RL, portraits or still lifes, but so far she’s painting abstract.

Impressions of “Amaranthine” by Zia Branner @ BOSL Arts (3)

Zia paints, primarily, for herself. It is a way for her to express herself. a way to step away from the everydy hustly and bustle of things.
“Figuring out, struggling with or succeeding in creating a painting, capturing things the way I see them on the canvas … it is a big drug. Well, okay, there you have my addicition…. ‘The Earth without ‘art’ is just ‘eh’…“

Thank you for your art, Zia. Thank you BOSL Arts for enabling the exhibition “Amaranthine”.
“Amaranthine” by Zia Branner at BOSL Arts shall stay open until August 27th, 2022.

Diary 2022 (90) June 30th / July 1st When Mistress is away (4) – and still enjoys her control

20 Jul 2022 1 Comment

I had a busy day in RL on Thursday, June 30th, and was not inworld during the day except to meet with Mistress Jenny in the later afternoon for about 45 minutes. We caught up with our mutual news and just enjoyed being together. Mistress is having a good time and enough drinks *winks*. Mistress also hinted that she had prepared something as a suprise for me together with slave Holly. I did suspect something, yet I did not know exactly .. and Mistress enjoyed keeping it a secret.

June 30th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home / Diomita and slave Holly at home

At night, when I came inworld, Flo was playing skipee and slave Holly was in her room. After I had unlocked her room, slave Holly gave me a letter from Mistress with instructions for me ….. slave Holly would be allowed to address me with “Sistress” and I was to follow slave Holly instructions as it were Mistress’ instructions…. slave Holly locked my cuffs (Mistress had prepared them leaving my keys out and out of reach for me) and leashed me. Then we went to see Flo. slave Luci was also present at the table. Holly told me that she was instructed to take me shopping. Flo accompanied us along with Alessi who had also shown up. slave Luci stayed at home.

After the shopping tour – I got 4 items from the list that I had to prepare for Mistress a week before – we returned home and I had to present my gifts to slave Holly, Flo and slave Alessi. And then I had to bend over and slave Holly spanked my ass .. in her and Mistress’ name. Flo went off to bed and slave Holly took me and her sister Alessi to Psi’s realm to expose me. I was lucky, just Psi herself was present. And slave Holly had just instructions for one club….. I could sense Mistress Jenny’s fun, having prepared that all – and controlling it even being many miles away and on vacation.

June 30th – slave Holly in control: Diomita with slave Holly, slave Luci, slave Alessi and Flo at home, at Psi’s realm and at Carnal Intentions

We returned home and slave Holly unlocked my cuffs, returning control to me. I took slave Holly and slave Alessi to Carnal Intentions for a few minutes but then I decided to wind down completely and we had a (longer) game of skipee before it was time for bed for all of us.

Friday, July 1st, Mistress was inworld in the afternoon though on a weak connection. But we were able to catch up and Mistress was happy that her plans for the day before went down well. She told me how difficult it was to keep it secret. Thank you again, Mistress Jenny. Jenny told me that she is still having a great time with hot and sunny weather – and a few drinks. We enjoyed our short time together.

July 1st: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

At night we had our Friday night party. Mistress and I had talked about possible theme before she left for her vacation. I picked one of her proposals for the party: “It’s Friday again, and we have our party again. It is the 4th of July weekend, yet today is July 1st and today is Canada Day. Hence cover yourself in syrup and stick to the dance floor. Wear something in red and white or come as you are (even naked). DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes.”

We had fun again celebrating someting inbetween Canada Day and 4th of July. We had great music, a short visit of Dana Drezelan, we chatted and danced. Another perfect start into the weekend – and we succeeded to get Virgo stripped *winks*

July 1st – Friday night party: Diomita, slave Holly, Flo, Baroness Capelo, sakuramatsumoto, Claven Albatros, Zillzie, Laura (laura00175) (upper row), Firefly Skydancer, Starbright Wingtips, Della Randt, Sara (SaraRandall), Jayson Dakota, Virgo Babii, Virgo Babii

Art in Second Life 2022 (67) Immersed by Rage Darkstone

After my visit of the Gateway Gallery in July 2022 (read here) I got in contact with Terra Merhyem (TerraMerhyem), one ot the artists there. Terra is the partner of Rage Darkstone, who’s art was also featured at the Gateway Gallery.

Terra sent me an invitiation to the opening of Rage Darkstone’s exhibition “Immerse” on July 12th at Surreal Gallery. I visited Friday, July 15th.

Impressions of “Immersed” by Rage Darkstone at Surreal Gallery (1)

The Surreal Gallery is a complex exhibition building with 2 floors, surrounded at 3 sides by walls. These walls are used to display Rage Darkstone’s pictures. In the exhibition building Rage displays mostly 3D art. The pictures on the surrounded wall can be seen as the walls of the building are transparent from the inside. 

The exhibition plays with light effects and mirroring, hence you should use “Advanced Lighting” and “shared environment”. These light and mirror effects ensure that the visitor is immersed in Rage’s world. Rage 3D objects as well as his 2D pictures mostly show stylized figures and dancers in different situations. Some are split into pieces.

Impressions of “Immersed” by Rage Darkstone at Surreal Gallery (2)

Quite dominating are 2 coloured cubes in orange and purple at the entrace of the builing, both  have a dancing figure inside. Most of the other figures are in metallic colours. Inside it is hard to decide where to look at first and you see different scenes depending on your viewing angle and position.

Impressions of “Immersed” by Rage Darkstone at Surreal Gallery (3)

You can walk up stairs to a second floor gallery with some more 2D pictures at the walls and a new perspective looking down.. Rage’s art is unique and intriguing. I like the light effects and that you can immerse sourself into his art – are even become part of it.

Rage Darkstone describes himself as “Creativity Junky”. He’s in Second Life since 2007. Rage has an own gallery, the AvA Art Gallery. He also has some permanent and current exhibitions at The Galleries, Vision of Beauty Art Complex and at The Dove Rhoads.

Impressions of “Immersed” by Rage Darkstone at Surreal Gallery (4)

The Surreal Gallery was established in November 2015 by Juliette Surreal-D Blue (juliettesurrealdreaming). Thank you Juliette for enabling “Immerse” by Rage Darkstone and for providing space for the arts in Second Life.
Thank you Rage for this impressive exhibition.

Tuesday, June 28th, I was just a few minutes inworld during the day to do some research for a blog entry about “City Scenes – Modern and Vintage by Colm Midnight”, an exhibition that I visited the day before (read here). I did enjoy a lovely Summer day in RL instead and came inworld at night. As none of the family was present yet, I went to club DeLust to have some eye candy while waiting. After a while I moved on to Puerto Esclava. Flo came inworld, yet knowing that she loves wining against I didn’t go home on the spot to let her play at least one game on her own.

When I returned home, Flo had finished 2 rounds *winks*. We caught up with our news, then I played a round of skipee with Flo. And when Alessi came inworld we played another round with her. Flo won both games, she had painted jokders all day long *winks*.
slave Holly came inworld right in time – Flo went to bed and I took slave Holly and slave Alessi to club DeLust. The girl, who had joined us the nights before was with us again, her name is Sakura Matsumoto (sakuramatsumoto). I had fun and chatted quite a bit with all three of them.

Wednesday, June 29th, I visited a gallery in the afternoon while waiting for Mistress Jenny. When she came inworld, I returned home and we had a nice chat catching up with our mutual news. Mistress is enjoying her time to the fullest as it should be! She had a bit more time that afternoon and after we had finished filling each other in, Mistress offered me a fix. Of course I did not reject it. Mistress made sure that I won’t forget my position during her absence. Her juices are so addictive! I am addicted to her. Thank you, Mistress Jenny!

June 29th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home

After Mistress had left, I finished my gallery visit, them I had to tend to my RL myself.

I was running late at night due to a Rl event that I attended. Flo was playing skipee alone. Just when we had caught up with news, slave Holly and slave Alessi came inworld as well. We played a skipee as teams and it became a nice and in the end surprisingly close game, that Flo and I won. Flo went off to bed as it was already beyond Flo-time.
I took slave Holly and slave Alessi with me to our dungeon declaring the night to “spoil Diomita night”. First slave Alessi cared about my feet, worshiped and licked them properly. Then slave Holly licked my pussy while slave Alessi cared about my nipples. With all these sensations I had a lovely and intense orgasm. When I had recovered, slave Holly got her fix – my pee.
We went to club DeLust to wind down a bit. Sakura Matsumoto (sakuramatsumoto) was at DeLust as well and knelt close to us. We chatted among us and relaxed but time had gone by too quickly again. A bit beyond our usal bedtime we returned home and to bed.

Art in Second Life 2022 (66) Kids These Days by Lex Machine

17 Jul 2022 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Art in Second Life Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I got a group message from Lex Machine (Archetype11 Nova) announcing the opening of “Kids These Days“, his latest installation.

Lex Machine (Archetype11 Nova) was formerly known as Schmexysbuddy Resident and created the Hotel California sims, which I visited in 2019 (read here and here). I saw Lex Machine’s installation “Isolation’s Passengers” in 2020 (read here), his installations Bermuda Locket (read here), “The House that Love Built” (read here), Numb (read here) and Nero (read here) in 2021, “Stillborn” in February 2022 (read here) and now I visited “Kids These Days“.

Impressions of “Kids These Days” by Lex Machine (1) – overview

Lex Machine’s installations are collections of art objects from different artists, some of the objects were not intended to be art. Lex’ art is arranging them in his own way and setting them into a context and into an intriguing environment. While quite some of Lex Machine’s installation were dark and yes, a bit depressing, “Kids These Days” is not dark. I wouldn’t go so far to say it expressed fun and happiness, but it is art nicely spiked with absurdity – in my eyes. You find many different scenes and objects at “Kids These Days“. The big whie figure on the top of a mountain range is from Bryn Oh and it overlooks the island like the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.  And in the mountains you don’t the “Hollywood” sign but “Pretty Much Fucked”.

Impressions of “Kids These Days” by Lex Machine (2)

Once again there are many scences realised at “Kids These Days” and most probably I haven’t seen all of them. You land in a field, a tractor is nearby, irrigation systems and a piano. My eyes were caught first by the old Missisippi steamer a bit away. Huge scarecrows seem to guard the old boat. Behind the steamer is kind of a small village with a barn and a chapel … and a pouncing fox (another one from Bryn Oh) looking down at two artful statues (*CM* Sisters by Cherry Manga).

The many objects interfer with each other and it is difficult to focus on one. In the center of the sim is an old steam engine. I once reduced my drawing distance to get just the engine on a picture. The steam is built by birds btw.
Also the scene at the corner of the island, exploding female upper bodies, revealing robot technic inside is difficult to catch alone.

Impressions of “Kids These Days” by Lex Machine (3)

What else? Wrecked cars of course. a bit clown in the mountains, a killer cat with 2 skulls (that one could be from Halloween). slaves pulling a carriage … I sat down and played the piano.

Impressions of “Kids These Days” by Lex Machine (4)

There’s a whole circus in the mountains, the figures are from Silas Merlin. Other objects are from Rebeca Bashley and from Fresh3D (the scarecrows for example). You hardly know where to look first. The only common theme I could gather form all the art is: Enjoy, don’t take everything too serious, something nice in these days of war in Europe. Who knows, perhaps I didn’t realize the message … it is just “pretty much fucked” *winks*

Impressions of “Kids These Days” by Lex Machine (5)

Did I mention that avatars visiting “Kids These Days” are just dwarfs compared to the figures and art objects? Everything is huge, despite the wrecked cars and the piano, the tractor and the steam engine are “normal” sized and the Missisippi steamer is comparably small. I had fun spoiling my eyes with art and getting distracted like in a desolate dream, in which things often do not fit together.

Thank you Lex for another installation. I enjoyed my visit!

Sunday, June 26th, I was inworld quite early in the morning. I went on a simploring tour and visited Golden Hair (read here). After my return I went to club Domme a Domme and met Dely (kyrsbia) there. We had a nice chat and later slave Luci (Luci Glendale) came by and decorated us.

In the afternoon I spent quite some time inworld, either roaming around or being absent (or forgetting to log off). I was at club Domme a Domme again for a while and had a short scene with another …ehm… domme there. Well she ended kissing my feet. She had found her place, at least with regard to me.
I also followed a link in a profile and ended up in a RLV zone dungeon. I waited quite a while there, actually a few hours but most of that time I was not present, but none came by. Finally, when I returned at night, the owner was present again and let me go … phewww.

June 26th – A mixed Sunday: Diomita at club Domme a Domme with Dely and slave Luci and with a random “domme” / Diomita simploring

At night I played a skipee with Flo and slave Lily (Lily Bloodrose). After the game slave Lily had to go to bed. I went to Carnal Intentions with Flo. I had some trouble seeing her correctly. First I thought it was caused by the light in the club, but it turned out to be a viewer bug and after a relog Flo looked ok again.
Flo decorated me very well and I had several IMs …. and soon another sub at my other side. And after Flo left to bed her place was taken by another sub. Somehow I must radiate something, I don’t know…..

I took the two new toys with me to club DeLust for a while, then I set all restraints on timer and went off to bed. It was a full and varied day in SL

Monday, June 27th, I was inworld in the afternoon. I roamed a bit while I was waiting for Mistress Jenny. She expected to be able to log in – and she came inworld. I spent a bit more than half an hour just catching up with our news. Mistress was having fun. Of course I was missing her a lot, but then RL has to be first always and being apart for a limited time keeps the desire up. Anyway that was a highlight of my day (RL and SL *winks*)
After Mistress had left I logged off myself and returned later in the afternoon and just had another round hopping between the place we usually visit.

At night SL had some troubles. It took me a few attempts to log in – and none of the family was present. I went visiting a gallery and when I had finished my visit Flo came inworld – quite late for her though. slave Holly came inworld and reported that she had tried for an hour to log in. Alessi joined us —- then we all crashed. It was already late when we finally starte the game, Luci had joined us too. And holly couldn’t play as she had no touch. We couldn’t find out why and a relog didn’t help. Sometimes SL has it technical issues. Luckily, not too often. It might have been a traffic jam of bites in the cloud.

When we finished the game it was already Flo-time and Flo left to bed. I went to Carnal Intentions with the slaves and while I was tieding up the slaves I got quite some IMs …. I finished my “work” first, then tended to the IMs. Somehow, when you have your hnds full, other think you’re capable for more *sighs* …. Anyway, it was also flattering I admit. One of the random sub of the night before joined again and I had her kneel with the others. The hour we spent at Carnal went by quickly.

Art in Second Life 2022 (65) Inara Pey at NovaOwl Gallery

I got an invitation by Owl (Owl Dragonash) to visit the NovaOwl Gallery and to see Inara Pey’s exhibition there. I’m a reader of Inara Pey’s blog for more than 14 years, actually I follow her “Living in a Modemworld“-blog since I became Diomita Maurer in Second Life. Her blog contains a lot of information, be it about the viewer, about locations, about developments in Second Life or art. I used and still use her blog to find ideas where to travel myself in Second Life and to get the latest Information about Second Life. Inara has an unique writing style, very picturesque and detailed. Her posts about places are always illustrated with pictures, and these pictures are always quite artful.

Inara wrote about the exhibition of her pictures at NovaOwl Gallery:
“I don’t see myself as an artist or photographer, but rather a blogger who uses images to illustrate my writings about the places I visit in Second Life. They are intentionally devoid of narrative and avatars, and have minimal post-processing to achieve this. That people find them attractive and like them is genuinely flattering to me, as I am constantly in awe of those who can create such stunning images of Second Life, and I’m left with a sense of privilege when asked to display my pieces.”

Inara has an eye for the right view and motif. She slighty processes the pictures she takes in Second Life, some of the pictures featured at NovaOwl gallery are converted to monochrome to achieve the effect Inara desired. Inara’s pictures are as varied as Second Life is and reach from city scenes to beautiful landscapes, from art to fantasy and cover just what you can see in Second Life. What makes them even more facinating for me is that I recognize some places as I’ve been there myself, so they bring back fond memories of places that are gone by now.

You can see more of her pictures at Inara’s flickr page and of course at her “Living in a Modemworld“-blog. I can only recommend reading it regularly if you want to keep yourself up-to-date with Second Life or when you look for places to visit. Her entries almost always inspire me to visit myself.
