Zoozyq Aeon on fractal art

november 22, 1PM SLT

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Optimal/35/143/29

Zoozyq creates stunning flame fractals. Not like the stuff you see everywhere in SL, no her fractals are different. They make me think of a feathers, dance, light-scribe and landscapes.

I told a friend about this seminar and he laughed at the idea of fractals being art. So that's subject of this seminar too: are fractals art?

Subjects:

How to make flame fractals?

What are the recent technological developments?

A philosophical approach to fractals as an art form.

Juko's gallery at the SL Art Community Centre is a special one. It looks amazing! It took a lot of effort and with the help from friends, she truly made a master piece. That's why I've asked Juko to give a seminar on presentation of art in SL.

Do you want to know how Juko's gallery came to be? Which problems she encountered and which decisions were made? What can you learn from Juko's gallery? How does the creation of her gallery relate to your gallery? Come and find out!

The SL Art Community Centre moves to Optimal!

On September 1^st, Dreamland has announced that the region where the SL Art Community Centre is located will be converted. Without further explanation I was given 14 days to move. They offered me a free relocation or upgrade within Dreamland but under current market conditions this is not attractive so I chose to relocate the SL Art Community Centre elsewhere.

Azure Islands turned out to be a great new landlord and the SL Art Community Centre can now be found on their region Optimal: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Optimal/35/143/29 . Azure Island’s tier is so much lower than Dreamland’s that I was able to buy 20% more land and pay only 50L$ per month extra. This results in larger galleries, higher prim limits and no extra costs for the artists who rent a gallery at the SL Art Community Centre. In fact, the new building offers galleries up to 2.5x larger and prim limits up to 2x the prim limit compared to the previous location.

I am very proud of the artists who worked very hard to relocate their exhibitions and I am grateful for all the support I have received. We’ve made the new SL Art Community Centre even nicer than the old one and that feels very good. However, I am also sad to see the old location forced to close. The way Dreamland has treated me (no refund of remaining tier, no refund of the money on my Dreamland account and no financial compensation for the additional costs I have to make and my inability to sell the land. Total financial loss is +- 30,000L$) has disappointed me.

The that the new and improved SL Art Community Centre @ Optimal will open on September 19^th. At this moment I can’t afford a musician to perform so if you know someone who’d like to cheer us up with music and a discount, please let me know!

Visitor statistics

July has been a wonderful month for the SL Art Community Centre. Never before have we welcomed so many visitors and never before have we had such acurate data about our visitors. I'm so happy about the recent growth in visitors that I love to share it with you.

In may and june I noticed that the SLACC had more visitors than usual. Because the numbers grew too big to deal with my old visitor counter I've bought a new one. This is why the data starts at the 2nd of july and not on the 1st.

Since july the 2nd, the SLACC has been visited 592 times.

The highest amount of visitors was at july the 30th, 33 visitors

There seems to be no favourite day for a visit to the SLACC, only sunday and monday are slightly quieter.

Average visit duration isn't very useful because the variance is likely to be huge. Yet it is unspecified.

The best news comes last: About 50% of the visitors visit the SLACC more than once.

I'd like to ask SLACC artists to tell me how they value these data. Information on returning visitors and visitor loyalty costs 4000L$ per month and I can't afford to do this every month. Unique visitor nrs costs 250L$ per month and I will continue to provide these. If you really want to know about returning visitors every month, let me know.

SL Art Community Centre artists

It's been ages since I've posted anything on the SL Art Community Centre blog. However, now that Sasun Steinbeck is combining all Second Life art blogs into one RSS feed I think it's time to use the blog again.

Also I'd like to announce that I am organising a new series of seminars at the SL Art Community Centre. I am still looking for teachers. You're free to choose a subject as long as it can be useful for artists in SL. To thank teachers for their effort to share their knowledge I'll pay 500 L$ per seminar. IM Mar Dwi if you'd like to give a seminar.
