What does this work mean, the immersive virtual installation? The primary reference is musical, as in notation and graphic expression of coincident ambient and experimental electronic sounds. The work is also semiotic, as in text, and it has Suprematist references recalling Malevich as the stark spaces appear rapidly. This vast work represents a new direction in an intense artistic exploration. These comments by no means capture the essence of the work, which may be described quite differently by others.

Now I'm beginning to see the new.
A little change, yes.
Better, don't move.
Just watch.
Play with your camera
It's like very spare visual music.
It's very interesting and will hold up anywhere, in world or real.
Yes, a minimalist part of cosmos.
Precisely, and suggests musical notation.
It suggests legibility, a reading.
Quietness.
Also of course symbols used for speech or song lyrics.
So you see, it is perfect.
No, but I'm happy I could change my style a bit.
It represents an abstraction.
Very flat, with only the symbols or notes or patterns suggesting space, maybe a place far away that we don't know.
True, or the one close to us that we don't even know, which is in all of us.
Of course the musical style of the stream is correct, ambient electronic experimental.

"He doesn't know what to do..." and "Just Do It"

Arahan Claveau transforms a political black-and-white photo into a 3D image and very convincing corporate tombstone at LEA that at first you think is selling something. During civil disturbance such as New Orleans at Katrina and Seattle at WTC, establishment news media tend to spin the looting narrative and suppress political reality, as seen in the video. "Just Do It" effectively confronts the corporate with the political.

Mall management returned this work. It is lost. Lemonodo is distressed and conveys his apologies to the artist and the public for this unfortunate circumstance.

Update: David Kensington in an article by Anh-Minh Le, "Creating Comfy Sophistication," San Francisco Chronicle, May 9, 2010, writes under Essential architectural principle: "Enfilade is the idea of creating a visual journey that draws you further into a space and ends with a completion - a kind of visual reward. This is a highly effective way of creating a compelling design experience to move you through spaces that are evocative of different moods and invite different gatherings. I employ this principle, as a rule, to further highlight the architectural purity of a space"

[2010/02/08 19:36] Lemonodo Oh: If this was to be our very last conversation, what words of wisdom would you want to pass on to me? (or more simply: Are there any words of wisdom you'd like to pass along to me? )

AM Radio Surface (Review)

2010-01-16T12:13:00.000-08:00

It is ambitious to express what this work means, but useful. For the practicing artist, how else to distinguish oneself, to assure one's work is more than the sum of its parts? Lemonodo and one of the artists he represents visited different AM Radio installations and we found them to be evocative, the work virtuoso. We discussed what those terms might mean. Calling forth, emotional and cinematic on the first and accomplished on the second. An emotion we sensed is loneliness, but I think that it is a longing too, a dread, a suffocation. Fear of being snuffed out by fire or tornado. Fear of being lost in a vast empty-feeling space in the middle of nowhere. Fear of losing oneself, losing one's memories. Can this be duplicated by others in reminders of home (if American), sketches, drawings, collectibles, musical instruments, torn rags on barbed wire fences, dragonflies motionless in flight? Certainly yes. Is it? Not so much. In real life, perhaps more so, but even there, "Surface" would stand out as having a point, a message. It is not just a pretty. Nor is it a fantasy. A proper review might notice there is a similarity across many installed AM Radio works (even recognizable objects being reused), so you could definitely say they are integrated as a body of work. Is there life after? This is a question the reviewer must ask, and a subsequent post finds reasons to affirm this.

Jesse Nicholas IM Live Interview

2010-01-11T18:05:00.000-08:00

[3:03:00 PM] kitchu...: Do we have 40 minutes? I make it fit within that time frame and we can always revisit.
[3:03:18 PM] ???? Kami: Yes yes I do ^^
[3:03:20 PM] kitchu...: K.
[3:03:31 PM] kitchu...: First question coming.
[3:03:44 PM] ???? Kami: Ok.
[3:03:46 PM] kitchu...: What is your name, age, the date, and where are we now?
[3:04:34 PM] ???? Kami: My name is Jesse Nicholas, I am 25 years old, born November 1984 and I live in the twin cities of Minnesota
[3:04:47 PM] kitchu...: OK. Thank you. Next: Are you in Second Life to work (grow, develop, be more real somehow, extend your real life) or are you in Second Life to play (fantasy, beat someone as in chess or WoW)?
[3:06:34 PM] ???? Kami: I was curious already about Second Life and was brought into it to work and grow through the Royal Science Foundation. I plan on meeting new people and seeing new places, I truly love exploring. To me the people I meet on Second Life are real people and my avatar at the very least stands for some part of myself. I'm a people person and love the interaction.
[3:07:08 PM] kitchu...: Thanks. Next:
[5:55:04 PM] kitchu...: Restatement of question. Do you feel Second Life comes with consequences (similar to corporate avatar) or, whee!! No consequences?
[3:08:25 PM] ???? Kami: There are always consequences whether they be positive or negative and enjoy both as a learning experience. Even the negative ones I view as a chance to learn and grow.
[3:08:52 PM] kitchu...: We can surely assume this interview will be retained, preserved and with respect. What about publishing it anonymously on a blog (and mask the names where they appear). For example, http://galoh.blogspot.com/
[3:09:30 PM] ???? Kami: Ok, that's fine and with my permission. I accept the agreements.
[3:11:26 PM] kitchu...: If OK to be anonymous how about just put the names? Similar to StoryCorps Oral History preserved in the Library of Congress. StoryCorps was founded on the site of the Twin Towers in the aftermath of 9/11 and focused on survivors. It has since expanded to include mostly ordinary people from all walks of life, but of course the results are often extraordinary in scope.
[3:12:08 PM] ???? Kami: Sure you can use the name I've given you Jesse Nicholas or any of my screen names.
[3:12:32 PM] kitchu...: OK. We'll use your response. Thanks. Next coming.
[3:12:43 PM] ???? Kami: Excellent, ok.
[3:12:58 PM] kitchu...: What is the happiest moment of your life? The saddest?
[3:15:47 PM] ???? Kami: Hmmm... The happiest moment of my life was when I was first able to fall asleep next to the one I loved at that time in a relationship. The saddest moment was when my father had his stroke. Immediately I had never felt so scared at the thought of losing him.
[3:16:03 PM] kitchu...: Who is/was the most important person in your life? Can you tell me about him/her?
[3:19:27 PM] ???? Kami: My father is the most influential person in my life but the most important is the one I am in love with right now as we speak. That person is a truly wonderful individual who has stood by me during times of crisis when my father had his stroke and actually would like to a lifetime with me. Never before have I had anyone at all come up to me and calmly say I want to spend my life with you and share in its joys and be there for its challenges.
[3:20:03 PM] kitchu...: Thank you. This might look like the same question: Who has been the biggest influence in your life? What lessons did they teach you?
[3:23:37 PM] ???? Kami: The largest influence in my life is my father whom I have the most respect for ever. Ever since I was a baby that man has cared for me when I was born prematurely. He has stood by my mother with her medical conditions and helped with that. He participated in NSP and city council meetings and introduced me to an uncle I felt was a secondary father who has helped me learn and grow as an individual, but my father has shown me everything from business to medicine and electronics. He has shown me so much educationally and emotionally about being a family man and a parent, as well as being a successful individual. I love him and hope to make the rest of his life as comfortable and joyful as possible.
[3:24:09 PM] ???? Kami: If it weren't for my father I would not be alive today.
[3:24:18 PM] ???? Kami: Nor be where I am today.
[3:24:37 PM] kitchu...: Thanks. Here's another. Who has been kindest to you in your life?
[3:29:09 PM] ???? Kami: The kindest individual ever, mmm, that's a tough one. It's a cross between Tanya and my uncle but the kindest sweetest person I have ever met is my uncle Kison just because even miles apart I know I could call him to this day and he would give me the shirt off his back. He helped me to relax when he could as I was growing up and gave me a brief taste of freedom from a very promising yet restricted life when I was young. I wish he still lived close by but unfortunately he is in the Philippines at the moment and have lost contact with him. He is grieving his divorce at the moment.
[3:29:44 PM] kitchu...: OK. Next: What are the most important lessons you've learned in life?
[3:32:16 PM] ???? Kami: The most important lesson I've ever learned in life is from my father, duty to family friends loved ones, and potential friends. Not those that impede. That has got me very far in life and I'm sure will do so in the future as well.
[3:32:58 PM] kitchu...: Thank you. What is your earliest memory?
[3:35:45 PM] ???? Kami: My earliest memory is being in the hospital being resuscitated. Being premature, I had many medical difficulties I had to face by myself with my own body. I remember that and being thirsty all the time and being in the kitchen with my mother looking out the window probably a day home from the hospital until I needed to go back.
[3:36:03 PM] kitchu...: Are there any words of wisdom you'd like to pass on to me?
[3:38:34 PM] ???? Kami: Well possibly. I take a lot of consideration into what I give as wisdom or advice. I take as much as i can into consideration. Hmmm, trying to limit it down, LOL. I work best with a situation I suppose
[3:38:54 PM] ???? Kami: I'm very open but I like to be precise.
[3:39:33 PM] ???? Kami: Mmm, maybe something I've learned more recently?
[5:44:00 PM] kitchu...: Yes.
[5:44:00 PM] kitchu...: More recently is fine.
[5:47:00 PM] ???? Kami: Yes, I have learned recently that passive aggressive people are still aggressive, and usually people that preach to treat others with respect the most are the ones to forget about it the most. Unfortunately.
[3:39:46 PM] kitchu...: Thank you. What are you proudest of in your life?
[3:42:09 PM] ???? Kami: I am proudest of leading a clean cut life and my educational and work related progress I have had,LOL. I say this, chuckling, because my original goal even while young was to be a family man with a moved in partner by this age. If that ever happens I know that will take pride in that. But until that day I suppose it's my college education and career.
[3:42:31 PM] kitchu...: Second to last: What does your future hold?
[3:43:14 PM] ???? Kami: well it was completely clear about two weeks ago. Now I'm unsure. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. *smiles*
[3:44:19 PM] kitchu...: Thank you. I was hunting for the final question: Here it is: Is there anything that you've never told me but want to tell me now?
[3:45:35 PM] ???? Kami: No, there are things I would like to tell you as a friend if we ever get the time. However I am very open to friends, family and loved ones, and I consider you a good friend and have been open with you now, and wish to keep being so in the future as well.
[3:46:24 PM] kitchu...: Thank you! From here, I edit. Very, very lightly. Then it goes to the "archive."
[3:47:28 PM] ???? Kami: Ok that sounds great! I guess just as a side note for last question is those things I'd like to tell you are situational. Hmmm how to put this in proper context. I love a good conversation with almost anyone and look forward to sharing views and opinions on things and just overall general discussion. :)
[3:48:37 PM] kitchu...: Thanks again, Jesse. I'll be taking Ranger out for his afternoon walk, then see you at Kitten show for update. oo oo oo
[3:49:09 PM] ???? Kami: No, thank you lemon for taking time out of your day for me. Ok, sounds great :) I will talk to you then.

2010-01-08T19:40:00.000-08:00

Lemonodo interviews himself twice and he interviews Kitten88 Luik. Any reference to StoryCorps is incidental and hopefully seen as respectful and in line with StoryCorps, which records broadcast quality oral histories and deposits them in the Library of Congress, and is located near the site of the former World Trade Center to interview 9/11 survivors, friends, family and ordinary people from all walks of life elsewhere throughout the United States.

"Can you tell me your name, age, the date, and where we are?"
Lemonodo Oh, 2, Gallery

Is you presence in Second Life largely fictional or largely realistic?
Realistic

Are you here to play or to work?
Work

Is your experience safe with no consequences, or is it serious and comes with consequences?
Serious

Which is more important to you, fake, artificial and fantasy or genuine, authentic, factual and truthful?
Authentic

Is it OK to publish this interview anonymously on the blog of Gallery Lemonodo Oh ( http://galoh.blogspot.com )?
Yes

If it is OK to publish, would you prefer avatar name(s) be used, similar to StoryCorps interviews?
Yes

****************************************************************************
****************************************************************************

You will have forty minutes for your StoryCorps interview. Think about two or three important areas you'd like to cover.

Don’t worry about preserving facts, such as names and dates; you can get those details down on paper later. Instead, use the session to capture stories and memories. In our experience, questions about feelings and emotions spark great conversations.

Every StoryCorps interview starts with an “ID” question: “Can you tell me your name, age, the date, and where we are?”

There are also a few questions that we’ve found are always great to include in interviews. Please check any that you would like to add to your list.
Great Questions

Who was the most important person in your life? Can you tell me about him or her?
Not sure that person can be named. Seen in Second Life total three times, but all pivotal.

What was the happiest moment of your life? The saddest?
Various moments of the love affairs and ditto.

Who has been the biggest influence on your life? What lessons did they teach you?
Do not spend too much time in SL.

Who has been the kindest to you in your life?
Another person unnamed. But perhaps not for the right reasons. It's crazy.

What are the most important lessons you've learned in life?
To separate fantasy from reality, truth from lies.

What is your earliest memory?
Welcome to an island and trying to navigate.

What is your favorite memory of me?

If you could hold on to one memory from your life for eternity, what would that be?
No one memory will do.

If this was to be our very last conversation, what words of wisdom would you want to pass on to me? (or more simply: Are there any words of wisdom you'd like to pass along to me? )
Be more careful than you ever thought you'd need to be. The seeming freedom and anonymity is illusory if not downright delusional, if that makes sense.

Have you had any experiences or moments in your life that you might consider sacred?
Brief glimpses, but no.

What are you proudest of in your life?
Service, interaction.

When in life have you felt most alone?
In clubs.

What are your hopes and dreams for what the future holds for me? For my children?

How has your life been different than what you'd imagined?
Much more fantasy and much more difficult. Not arts oriented.

How would you like to be remembered?

Do you have any regrets?
Many.

What does your future hold?
A question mark.

Great Questions

Who was the most important person in your life? Can you tell me about him or her?
Code Red until recently. Unfortunately, there was a problem we shared in the making.

What was the happiest moment of your life? The saddest?
The engagement. The fantasy there. When I realized my mistake, it was sad. I felt stupid. There have been other similar. Dumped. Abandoned. RL has been steady through all this by some miracle.

Who has been the biggest influence on your life? What lessons did they teach you?
Code Green. Attempted to "teach" a skill. I didn't learn it.

Who has been the kindest to you in your life?
Hard to say. Many have been kind. There are many superlatives.

What are the most important lessons you've learned in life?
A relationship involving virtual sex truly is more than I can handle.

What is your earliest memory?
Welcome island. But prefer to think of mentor I met very early on who is rarely in world. Advice was apt. Stay away from Second Life. Persist in not taking that advice.

What is your favorite memory of me?

If you could hold on to one memory from your life for eternity, what would that be?
Some innocent moments.

If this was to be our very last conversation, what words of wisdom would you want to pass on to me? (or more simply: Are there any words of wisdom you'd like to pass along to me? )
Avoid existential bad faith. Recognize it when it occurs. Root it out as quickly as you can. Get help if you need it. Be authentic, nothing less. Be a lady or gentleman, no matter your walk in life.

Have you had any experiences or moments in your life that you might consider sacred?
Yes, RL, but skating on thin ice to mention them. None particularly in Second Life, or I have forgotten them or failed to recognize and categorize properly what is sacred for this response. Highly likely, that.

What are you proudest of in your life?
Certain musical accomplishments that I are wholly here.

When in life have you felt most alone?
Dumped. Abandoned. Jilted. Those kinds of instances.

What are your hopes and dreams for what the future holds for me? For my children?

How has your life been different than what you'd imagined?
Different field, different way of treading water.

How would you like to be remembered?
Remembered?

Do you have any regrets?
Many.

What does your future hold?
Hard to say.

Is there anything that you've never told me but want to tell me now?
I'm sad at the moment but I have to make what staement I can. Things likely are not always like this.

[5:24:24 PM] Kitten: Kitten, age 21 , oct,9,1988
[5:24:43 PM] kitchu...: What is the happiest moment of your life, the saddest
[5:25:57 PM] Kitten: The happiest moment of my life is every day,and the saddest moment of my life will probably be the day when one of my friends is traumatically hurt.
[5:27:05 PM] kitchu...: Who is/was the most important person in your life? Can you tell me about him/her?
[5:27:48 PM] Kitten: Albertlr landar and Kami yuhara, both mean the world to me and I treasure them immensely
[5:28:39 PM] kitchu...: Who has been the biggest influence in your life? What lessons did they teach you?
[5:30:59 PM] Kitten: my uncle, he taught me the greatest lesson of all, and that was to use your heart and your mind to overcome your obstacles and if you love something enough then nothing can keep you from your goals. Trust your instincts and even if fear keeps you from moving give a big yell break away and strive forward, life is too short to be held back~!
[5:31:22 PM] kitchu...: Who has been kindest to you in your life?
[5:32:16 PM] Kitten: I would have to say Albertlr landar, he took me in and gave me a chance at life when I thought it was over, and felt as though I didn't want to exist anyfurther
[5:32:34 PM] kitchu...: What are the most important lessons you've learned in life?
[5:35:18 PM] Kitten: I would say that the question is out of context, because we are always learning valuable lessons in life. things that can change our invironment, helping others, changing lives, finding ways ro say. you know life really is what you make of it. so lets make it the most enjoyable expirience ever!
[5:35:40 PM] kitchu...: What is your earliest memory?
[5:37:05 PM] Kitten: in all honesty I think it was the day my youngest sister was born. that would have too be one of my earliest memories I was playing kirbys dream land in the car waiting for my mom to get out of the hospital. and then I saw her and it was surreal.
[5:37:27 PM] kitchu...: Are there any words of wisdom you'd like to pass on to me?
[5:39:11 PM] Kitten: We all exist in the same light. we all have hopes , dreams, feelings, therefore. we all want to be happy. live and let live and always look on the positive even if someone hurt you. don't feed into the negative energy and the flow will always be positive.
[5:39:28 PM] kitchu...: What are you proudest of in your life?
[5:41:03 PM] Kitten: I can't really say, I think I need to find one first.
[5:41:12 PM] kitchu...: When in life have you felt most alone?
[5:41:54 PM] Kitten: I was about 14 and I was placed in a mental hospital for depression and a suicide threat. I felt extreamly alone there.
[5:42:01 PM] kitchu...: How has your life been different than what you'd imagined?
[5:43:09 PM] Kitten: Well I never had an image on life, just that I want to accomplish goals, live day by day, and I want to please those I love.
[5:43:18 PM] kitchu...: How would you like to be remembered?
[5:43:44 PM] Kitten: I would like to be remembered for being a rebel and fighting against the wrongs in life.
[5:43:49 PM] kitchu...: Do you have any regrets?
[5:47:08 PM] Kitten: my one regret is for not listening to my parents when I was younger, as well as being taken out of school, I have had a rough life but so has everyone. I made dumb choices and was extreamly ignorant in some cases. if I could go back and change them I honestly have to say I would want to though. because it all came out as life lessons and I'm a better person from the hardships
[5:48:19 PM] kitchu...: What does your future hold?
[5:48:55 PM] Kitten: I can't really say, I have no plans except to exist in peace and not to cause problems for others
[5:49:21 PM] kitchu...: Is there anything that you've never told me but want to tell me now?
[5:50:05 PM] Kitten: no , I have always been completely open and there is nothing I wouldn't say to you that I wouldn't say to anyone else
[5:50:22 PM] kitchu...: Is there something about me that you've always wanted to know, but never asked?
[5:51:11 PM] Kitten: Again not really, we share common emotions and goals as well as view points and strengths, I would think as close friends.
[5:51:51 PM] kitchu...: **************
[5:53:25 PM] kitchu...: Are you in Second Life to work (grow, develop, be more real somehow, extend your real life) or are you in Second Life to play (fantasy, beat someone as in chess or WoW)?
[5:54:13 PM] Kitten: I'm simply in secondlife for the social experience. I enjoy talking and learning and growing as a person
[5:55:04 PM] kitchu...: Restatement of question. Do you feel Second Life comes with consequences (similar to corporate avatar) or, whee!! No consequences?
[5:56:13 PM] Kitten: well the Term life at the end of second life would refer that there are consequences, because there are people attached to the avatars and they live breathe, co'exist, etc., as you would in real life, so yes there most certainly are.
[5:58:19 PM] kitchu...: We can surely assume this interview will be retained, preserved and with respect. What about publishing it anonymously on a blog (such as mask the names where they appear). For example, http://galoh.blogspot.com/
[5:59:59 PM] Kitten: I think that would be perfectly fine. but I would have to ask why be annonymous, If it can be used to show the rest of the world there are people out there that are full of love and want to strive for the betterment of mankind then I would air it openly and without fear. but that might also be part of my rebelious nature ^~^
[6:00:20 PM] kitchu...: If OK to be anonymous how about just put the names?
[6:00:35 PM] Kitten: please be Open xD
[6:00:42 PM] kitchu...: .................................

sculptypaint

2009-06-22T13:24:00.000-07:00

sculptypaint allows the artist to make second life sculpties in a wide variety of forms, and is relatively intuitive and easy to use, though practice (trial and error) is a very important part of getting a desirable output... lemonodo's efforts are very modest, but even so, people want to know how it's done... download the program, and donate to the writer if possible, then start following the tutorials step by step...

i got my start with the first few steps of the heart-shaped box... after that, the working concepts are pretty easy... i force a sphere or cube to 8x8 for rough modeling, then refine by forcing to 16x16... the 256 bit tga is what is applied in second life, but due to roundoff error, it usually comes out a little mushy in second life compared to the form you see on the screen in sculptypaint or autocad...

here is a sculptypaint screencap of a recent project...

and here is the dxf export as seen on architectural desktop in autocad...

finally, here is the result in second life covered in a seamless rust texture i created...

an appreciation - elis eun

2009-05-07T14:24:00.000-07:00

research 'sculpture virtual catalonian imaginative playful' and find pertinent snippets, "Purposeful invention and playful discovery, bold change, and refined nuance are ... haven't dealt with in the past—for example, virtual space," "... imaginative, poetic, and playful attitudes -yet attitudes that are always ...... Further inquiries into early Greek sculpture, as well as the concepts of ... creation while not ceasing to be an imaginative, worldly interpretation. ..... into the parallels of such interaction in our increasingly virtual society. ..." and "and liberate the imagination through sculpture parks"

to find this for real... well not really, but for real in second life is to encounter a certain surprise most might not notice... it goes beyond gaudí, who goes far indeed... to discovery... similar to finding a ghost town or ghost house not sanctioned and made into a park

taken vernissage 10-4, lemonodo and elis visited two site-specific installations offered in conjunction with the gallery...

the environments recall, using very simple means such as builder's tools, freebies and gifts, the excitement of gaudí, and Dali, but the results are original, and each place has a playful, joyful spirit about it...

the first picture gives a sense of elis island and the second, magic moments with sculpture by maryva mayo at its heart underneath the sea...

riemergendo...piano...piano...piano
