Xaara and Alanis Gallery

When visiting one of the SM-Clubs (Stand & Model) what we do quite often to chat and chill, we also read profiles. In one of these profiles Jenny came across a gallery and gave me a hint to have a look as she knows that I love to see art and to dicover places I haven’t been before. That is how I came to Alanis Gallery. It is quite a surprise that I haven’t been there in all the years that I’m already in Second Life.

“Established since 2008, Alanis Gallery Sensual Images in Xaara, is a showcase for carefully selected original works by RL Artists with exclusive rights in SL, many with a D/s theme.  Original RL photographs by Sylvia Fitzpatrick (which explore, both figuratively and conceptually, the submissive female, fetish and her local landscape).” And it is really huge (!). I like that you can teleport around between the different exhibitions and you’ll need it in order not to get lost in the gallery. The pictures are great, of course I don’t like them all but the bondage pictures I saw from several artist were really good. You can buy the pictures to decorate your SL home. Here are just 2 little teasers from Alanis gallery.

Outside of the building I didn’t expect much but there is much more. Xaara is also a bdsm community and has a lot to offer besides Alanis Gallery.
Xaara is “a Mediterranean style resort full of friendly people, beautiful art galleries, surprising shops and entertaining events and activities.” I roamed around and found that there are 6 private skyboxes that are free to use for a limited amout of time and I visited some ot them. They are at least a great hideaway to retreat to with a sub/slave or with Mistress Jenny. And there are also public play spaces for example a shibari room.

I really was surprised that I haven’t been here before! While I was exploring I had a nice chat with Laz (haydenpryce) who co-owns the sim and runs it together with is sub and with the help of the Alanis Gallery ran by Syliva Fitzpatrick and her partner Michiel Seetan.
Xaara is (another quote) “a place to find your own BDSM or erotic path. For mature visitors only. Where Dominants and submissives can relax, role play, explore, gain knowledge or feast the eyes on the best sensual art in SL.”
There are events and a events calendar and for sure a lot more activites (like the erotic library, dancing, discussions and …). My visit was short considering the variety and what Xaara has to offer.
Thank you Laz for providing it.

The Vordun: a new art experience in Second Life

This is really a new art and history experience using the features Second Life has to offer. My visit was short yet very impressive. I visited “A Night to Remember“, the exhibition about the Titanic catastrophy more than 100 years ago. It’s strange that among all catastrophies the mankind had to experience during the last 100 years, the Titanic still gets so much attention. Maybe it is because we know about the dreams that many of the victims carried with them seeking a new and better life.

The exhibition is very informative, has all facts and convinces with the use of storytellers who you meet when you walk through the hall. In the beginning you get a passengers name and at the end you want to retrieve this passenger from the list of saved and lost people. Mine was Mrs. Rosalie Paula van Impe, a 3rd class passenger who was among the losses.

The Vordun GalleryThe Vordun Gallery

Saturday, July 12th witnessed the opening of The Vordun Museum and Gallery, created and curated by Jake Vordun, the owner of Fancy Decor.

Occupying a large, modern building on one side of the Fancy Decor region, the museum and gallery presents a venue capable of supporting multiple exhibitions, with two art exhibits and a museum exhibition being presented for the opening season. Together they make for a unique and immersive visit.

The Vordun: European MastersThe Vordun: European Masters: 300 Years of Painting

The first of the art exhibitions is European Masters, 300 Years of Painting, which occupies the main gallery hall. On displays are over 30 paintings from the period 1500 through 1799, all of which are presented in a scale consistent with one another and to their physical world originals.  These can be freely perused and admired, title cards alongside of each one offering information on…

All_Most Real

Today I went to explore art in SL again. Inara has some great advices where to go. Please find her description of “All_Most Real in Second Life” in her blog. As always it is very detailled and full of information. The exhibition “All_Most Real” is shown at the Nitroglobus Hall. At the entrance you’ll get a notcard with some basic information from the curator and owner of Nitroglobus Hall, Dido Haas.
July 10th: Diomita visiting the exhibition "ALL_MOST REAL" at Nitroglobus Hall (1)

July 10th: Diomita visiting the exhibition “ALL_MOST REAL” at Nitroglobus Hall (1)

The exhibition shows the work of MM (mysterr). The pictures are a combination of real world art with Digital art. They are “a quest on reality and perception, and how they influence our emotions. We know perceptions win over facts and reality so many times, conditioning our lives. In MM’s search for realism, could it be that the doll finally (like pinocchio) transforms pixels into flesh? Or will she be a doll forever, keeping alive the hope and flame of the search?” Perception is your reality, so it doesn’t really matter what is real or digital.

Besides the pictures of MM there are sculptures in the Nitroglobus Hall, all provided by Nitro Fireguard. And these scuptures are not less mysterious, some look strange, some very real … but only their shape is real, the bodies are clearly just metal. That is a very nice way just opposed to the pictures on the wall which do look real. In addition I like the mirrow effect on the floor. It adds to the overall exhibition experience. Enjyo your visit!

Saturday afternoon simploring tour

Saturday afternoon, July 2nd, I spent some time of simploring and I visited 3 places, all of which were quite different. I first visited Legacy Ridge. You find a full and perfect description in Inara’s blog: “A walk through Legacy Ridge in Second Life“.
July 2nd: Simploring Legacy Ridge (1)

July 2nd: Simploring Legacy Ridge (1)

Legacy Ridge is just a little town somewhere at a coast. It has all you would find typically in such a town: Diner, Motel, park, Car dealer, restaurants, playground, shops … and spreaded among the hills nice homes for the residents. You land in a house, something like a visitor center, where you can join a group and grab a landmark and get some infos about Legacy Ridge.

July 2nd: Simploring Legacy Ridge (2)

July 2nd: Simploring Legacy Ridge (2)

I explored on foot first the little town itself, then I walked along the shoreline and then I took the big tour through the hills. From the town I noticed a modern house up in the hills with a big window from where you must have a great view. And during my walk in the hills I could take a closer look. A really beautiful house, something I’d love to have in RL. I think that is the secret of Legacy Ridge. It all looks so natural, so familiar, that you could think about moving into one of these nice houses – well I’d take the mordern house with the view over the bay.

July 2nd: Simploring It All Starts With A Smile (IASWAS) (1)

My next stop was “It All Starts With A Smile” – what a lovely name for a sim. And it is really fitting. It All Starts With A Smile (IASWAS) is a picturesque sim by Kaelyn Alecto and Maxx (Maxxster). It is a group of tropical islands with many places to sit and cuddle, to have a drink, to relax and I could almost feel the sun. At least I had a feeling of vacation and laziness. I explored, I wandered around, I sat down here and there and I took some nice pictures. IASWAS is just lovely for a visit with your love or just for getting away for an hour without a long flight.

My Saturday simploring tour ended at MetaLES, an art sim. Inara has a full description in her blog. Ths sim is turning 7 years, hence her blog text is titeled “MetaLES at seven in Second Life“.
July 2nd: Simploring art in SL - MetaLES (1)

July 2nd: Simploring art in SL – MetaLES (1)

I learned that the sim is operated by Ux Hax and Romy Nayar. For the 7th year anniversary it exhibits art work, virtual art form the last 7 years which was captured in pictures by Anita Witt. If I were a regular visitor of the many art sims in SL, I would recognize some of the art exhibited – well but I’m not. I just visit art installation or sims that were created by artists sometimes. But I did recognize some of the artist names mentioned in Inara’s post like Cica Ghost and Bryn Oh. At MetaLES the art is presented quite exceptional. Frames with the pictures hang in the sky, big objects and rocks holding the according hooks. The objects are huge, the pictures are huge. This way my avatar looks quite short and negligible within the art installation, that is for sure an intended effect.

For those interested in art or those who just want to see something different, virtual and temporary art, I do recommend a visit. I enjoyed my visit and the pictures I took will remember me of the particular way the art was presented here.

Keys

When I opened my page at deviant Art Sunday morning I came across a picture of Chisato Watanabe who I watch on dA. It shows her surrounded by keys and is titeled “Arrival at Keys“. That really caught my attention and I commented: “I’ll have to visit this sim! I knew that all the keys I grabbed and lost must be somewhere – there!”. It didn’t take that long to find the place she visited in Second Life – Keys by Cica Ghost.

June 19th: Keys by Cica Ghost (1)

June 19th: Keys by Cica Ghost (1)

Cica Ghost is an artist from Serbia who’s in Second Life since 2010. She created a lot of sims and her art has it’s own handwriting. I visited several of her installations but searching this blog I found just one post about her work: Ruins.
Keys is a sim filled with pipes, grid flooring, screws, steel frames, containers, chains and …. keys! Upon your arrival you will notice the first huge key in the door behind which you enter the sim. I haven’t seen so many keys on one spot ever. They are everywhere and many of them are dangling on chains and seemingly build a curtain.

June 19th: Keys by Cica Ghost (2)

Take a closer look on the picture above. Some of the keys have letters, so they are marked, they belong to someone’s cuffs maybe … just as if here is the storage of all the keys I lost in my time in Second Life. The containers that are spread within the gigantic chaotic mess of pipes, platforms and frames are locked with the huge keys just like the door through which you enter the sim. Of course I entered not just one of the containers. Inside of every one is a giant lonely guy with a scary white face. Beside of him all containers are empty. Maybe it is the same person … or a family … who knows?

June 19th: Keys by Cica Ghost (4)

I searched for a description of Cica Ghost’s keys on the internet as the landmark description simply says “Twisted in a special way…” and found that there’s also a post on Inara Pey’s blog about Keys, that I simply missed – “Cica’s Keys in Second Life“. There you’ll find a more detailled interpretation about Keys and it’s meanings. But I guess everybody has an own interpretation or feeling. For me here are the keys that I lost and in the containers are the souls of the “poor” slaves and subs that I forgot. I am aware that this is a quite individual and opinionated interpretation *winks*.
Last but not least I also visited Cica’s store inworld. The landmark to it is at the landing point to Keys. Here you find some of the stuff Cica Ghost used in her artwork and I remembered that I saw some of it in Cica’s previous installations.

Diomita in art – Gates of memories

I found some time for simploring again. Yesterday I visited the “Gates of memories“. The sim’s description in the landmark is short: “We don’t remember days, we remember moments“. So what is it about? Basically it is a sparse winter landscape with two small houses. The whole island is snowbound and it is snowing permanently. Embedded in this scenery is art which is outstanding in the quite monotonous scenery.

As the whole island is snowbound and the sky is gray and as it is snowing, you won’t see many colours. Hence, every coloured piece gets particular attention in this surrounding, like the coloured paper laterns that you see first time when landing in the sim. Later I came across a red car with a christmas tree on it’s roof. This car would not get any attention elsewhere but here it is a real eye candy, literally glowing red.

Jan 25th: Diomita in art at "Gates of memories" (2)

For me, “Gates of memories” represents another way to exhibit art. You can become part of it as you walk through it, sit beside it or even on it, get close to it and as you become part of it as a counterpart of the art itself. The fact that the art is in a virtual world and thus only exsists temporarily plus the fact that you become part of the art by walking through it or standing next to it , makes a visit unique. What is left are memories and maybe a few pictures which capture the moment.

There’s a detailled description of the sim in Inara Pey’s “Living in a Modemworld” blog titeled “Stepping through the Gates of Memories in Second Life” with her impressions of this region. “Gates of memories” was created by the photographer shelly70 and the following quote from her profile fits perfectly with her sim “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away“.

Happy New Year 2016 and some stats and findings about our blog (2015 in review)

20151227 Happy New Year_001To all of our family, to all friends, to all readers. we wish you a happy and healthy new year. May your wishes and desires come true!

The people of WordPress.com send me a few figures and remarks reviewing this blog for 2015: “The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 14,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.” Again a “YAY” for the last year and again compared to the last year this is one extra sold-out performance and will be motivation to continue writing. Thank you all readers!!
When I got the report, I thought that this year there would be another comparison than the above, but the people of WordPress seem to stick to the comparison with the Sidney Opera House. So I decided to look for something different, like “This blog was viewed about 14,000 times in 2015. If there was the international fetish bondage competition at Munich Olympic Hall, it would be sold out for that many people to see it!” The Olympic Hall is used for concerts, sporting events, exhibitions or trade fairs. Olympiahalle opened in 1972 and was the venue for gymnastics and handball events at the 1972 Summer Olympics. The seating capacity for the arena varies from 12,150 up to 14,000. The current seating capacity 15,500 set after a massive overhaul that was completed in 2009 (source: wikipedia.com).

Munich Olympic Hall: Fetish Bondage Event 2015 sold out!

Munich Olympic Hall: Fetish Bondage Event 2015 sold out!

In 2015, there were 96 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 393 posts, so in average we published 2 blog entries per week in 2015. I uploaded 471 pictures, that’s more than one per day. As mentioned above, we had more than 14,000 clicks on this blog last year, getting close to 40 clicks in average every day. We had more than 4,300 visitors from all over the world, from 86 countries in all.
Most clicks came from The United States (3,700). Germany (1,250) & United Kingdom (2,750) were not far behind and combined this year we even got more clicks from our home countries than from the US, yay!

Most visitors found our blog from deviantart, where I also publish my pictures. So there developed a link between this blog and my deviantart account. Like in 2014 not only the actual texts did attract readers, the most popular texts are a bit older mostly. And the “Enjoying bondage” series seems to be popular. Here’s the ranking of the Top 5:
1. Sissy sold – August 2013 – 163 clicks
2. Enjoying bondage series – April: Selfies – April 2014 – 138 clicks
3. Enjoying Bondage April 2015: Dio’s tied-up simploring tour – 125 clicks
4. Second Life Fetish Fashion Blog – February 2012 – 122 clicks
5. Kara Bound – April 2014 – 116 clicks

This blog contains a lot of memories for us and for the people close to us. It started as a little diary to keep up with all the things happening around us in Second Life and has grown with time. Considering how much of our free time in real life we spend in this virtual world it makes sense to keep memories like you do in real life. The memories are real and stay vivid and present this way. That we attract readers who follow our ways in SL makes me happy and a bit proud (everybody is a bit vane, aren’t we?)

Thank you all for reading and following our blog.
Have a great year 2016!
Diomita and Jenny Maurer

Impressive Impressions

It’s Sunday and I found the time to explore a bit. This time it was kind of a very special exploration. Inara has her own art installion in SL now. Too bad that it is temporary! I’m really impressed.

Impression: Inara's art

Impressions: Inara’s art

The center piece of Impressions is Inara’s personal interpretation of Fallingwater. Fallingwater or Kaufmann Residence is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles (69 km) southeast of Pittsburgh (see Wikipedia). Looking at the original house, Inara’s interpretation is quite close to it.
20150823 Impressions_012The house is fully furnished and there’re lots of details to admire. All walls are used to display Inara’s pictures all of which are taken in SL. In addition there’re video boards where you can watch her videos clips about the places she visited. This way at least parts of this temporary virtual world is saved for longer. I really hope that Inara takes lots of videos of her own place. Exploring the house is a bit tricky as you have to find your way to get to the different Levels. I saw a lot of pictures of places that I visited mainly by recommendation of Inara. I felt home.

Inara's art is displayed at Impressions

Spread over the house and outdoor you’ll also find sculptures by the young artist CioTToLiNa. They are not dominating the place but fit into it very well, making the house and the sim a pure exhibition for those who love this kind of art.

Sculptures of CioTToLiNa are spread around at Impressions

Last but not least, Inara has also created a beautiful place. Her Fallingwater is embedded in a lovely New England landscape and there’re enough spots to sit and dream, to cuddle and talk or to simply enjoy the views. I also liked the little pavillion at bit below of the house. I really can imagine to sit here, to listen to the piano or to have a drink with friends at night.

I really love the place. I’m a fan of great architecture and particular of this house (and yes, I saw it already in real). And as a follower of  Inara’s blog I’m really excited about her first own Installation. Thank you so much, Inara!

A visit to Otium

Exploring sims: OTIUM

Exploring sims: Otium

The “Living in a modemworld”-blog of Inara Pey provides me with places to visit. This time I visited Otium, first alone and then together with Jenny.
The name of this sim has a meaning that I looked up at Wikipedia for a correct description:
Otium, a Latin abstract term, has a variety of meanings, including leisure time in which a person can enjoy eating, playing, resting, contemplation and academic endeavors. It sometimes, but not always, relates to a time in a person’s retirement after previous service to the public or private sector, opposing “active public life”. Otium can be a temporary time of leisure, that is sporadic. It can have intellectual, virtuous or immoral implications. It originally had the idea of withdrawing from one’s daily business (negotium) or affairs to engage in activities that were considered to be artistically valuable or enlightening (i.e. speaking, writing, philosophy). It had particular meaning to businessmen, diplomats, philosophers and poets
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otium).

What you can experience at Otium fits perfect to the name. First of all there is a Mediterranean village with small alleys, lots of cosy places, benches and pavement cafes. And the village is not empty. There are little shops and the houses can be rented. Where you land when arriving at Otium, there’s a gallery. The exhibtion there shows Giovanna Cerise’s art and is called “LINE”. This Exhibition isn’t restricted to the gallery itself but is spread over the whole island. Giovanna herself wrote about her permanent exhibition “Creation of a path-research on the infinite freedom hidden in two-dimensional and three-dimensional size. The line, with its lightness incisive, inspired the Transposition of the complexity of the solid structures of some of my work in new areas, expression of pure essentiality.”

"LINE" exhibition permanent of Giovanna Cerise

“LINE” exhibition permanent of Giovanna Cerise

When exploring Otium you will come across Giovanna’s art everywhere, her filigrane “line”-art is non physical, thus you can walk through it and it changes it’s look depending from which angel you look at it. The art provides a perfect background for creating your own photo art, something to publish at deviantart. At the beach there’re other 3 dimensional pieces of her, of which some are also changing permanently. All of Giovanna Cerise’s art can be purchased directly. And I’m pretty sure that I saw her art before at some other places. I consider to get a piece for our island as well.

Coming back to the name of the Island: Otium. I visited Otium together with Jenny and after roaming through the alleys we walked down to the beach which offers some places to cuddle, to watch the waves of the ocean and even for sport activities like Taichi. Thus Otium provides everything to recover, to enjoy simply being yourself or to refresh your mind with art: relax, unwind, soothe your soul. The name Otium does really fit.

Diomita visiting “Ruins” (1)

So I did it again, simploring following the “Living in a modemworld” blog. I haven’t had the time for simploring on my own for quite a while, so I took the opportunity that arose today. This time I travelled to Ruins. Ruins is Cica Ghost’s newest build. As the name implies, you’ll find just ruins there. Only the blackbirds and wildflowers remain to inhabit the ruins of the once active city, its brick edifices having collapsed to reveal the deserted worlds within.

As the name implies, you’ll find just ruins there. But nature is taking back the place, flowers are growing everywhere, in every room, out of every crack in the floor and walls. You can see leftovers from former life when there were people living here. Nowadays its quiet and peaceful, you hear the wind. Some stars, that rise from the flowers, add to the mystery of this place. Stars that arise like phoenix from the ashes ..
