SLart at the Cannery opening - Woot!
August 30, 2007 4:18 am
*Tries to TP to the Cannery* Could not teleport?! Wtf? Full sim! W00t! When I get in, it will be partytime! And so we did. I was so glad to hear the many ‘Wow! Great!’, ‘Love this sim!’ and ‘Awesome photographs!’s. I got to hug Shoshana and scream ‘We did it!’. I’ve met a lot of people from Flickr I did not see before. *Waves at Katharina Malthus amongst others.* I also took advantage of the evening to leave the (Flickr) ‘contact’ status I had with some avatars behind me and to move on to what hopefully will become a long lasting friendship. *Waves at Sofia London, Arteer Oliva and Claudia Mantis.*
Nephie’s tunes were great as ever at the SLart at the Cannery opening, dancing animations were fluent and SLart was everpresent. Not only because of the photographs, but also because of the time and effort people put in their avatar looks, their clothing and even their conversation. I said my ‘thank you!!!’s to a lot of persons that helped me by creating, previewing and reviewing, listening to my rants, etc. but I did not get to talk to them all. Still that many to thank. And not at least the participating photographers!
Strangely enough, for a Second Life photography event, a lot of people started talking to me about the blogpost I made on open sim. When I’m on SL and you want to test the Ruth OpenSim, feel free to IM me, and we can go together. =) I’ve set up my ‘crash container’ on the Rezzable Cannery sim, and will probably use it as a temporary home location. Looks a whole lot more cosy now I’ve put in a wall from my skybox, no? :d
This afternoon (tonight) at 1 PM SLT (22h CET) we - RightAsRain and I - will be giving a guided tour on the Cannery grounds to the metaTravellers, so if you’re interested, feel free to join in. We’ll meet at the Cannery landing point at 1pm SLT sharp. If it will be a ‘voiced’ or ‘typed’ tour, that will depend on what the ‘tourees’ want, but my preference goes out to the first, as I did already a lot of typing passed days. =)
Rik Riel - ricomatic.com - wrote what I consider the most interesting review on SLart at the Cannery up to now - not just re-chewing the press release, but actually doing some thinking - titled ‘The Cannery Art Gallery: merging Web2.0 and virtual world communities‘ on how a Flickr community could grow out of Second Life photography and how then again that Flickr community organises something as big as SLart at the Cannery in-world. Worth a read (and comment)!
But enough said, as they claim a snapshot says more than a thousand words, check out the SLart at the Cannery Flickr Pool. My personal favorite for the evening is from Stephen Venkman :

WOOT! Lemme just find an exploit to use to get to the guided tour… *looks under T in his exploits collection* ROFL.
Excellent event, excellent build, wonderful photos! I also featured the gallery in my “Rik’s Picks” on New World Notes: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/08/riks-picks-fo-4.html
It was truly a great time. My friends enjoyed it as well. Thank you so much for displaying my work, hon. =)
“..en moe maar tevreden keerde ze naar huis terug..”
:-p
I spot a happy Vint..
Should say : “congratulations!”, but in order to avoid that it are hollow words, first i’d better take a look at it myself..
** Veronique lifts herself up out of her lazy chair…**
Bravo Vint, and thank you so much for the invitation!
It was a brilliant exhibit, build, atmosphere - just an overall fantastic experience.
Well done. Was amazed! And nice seeing some pople in SL i only seen on Flickr.
Veronique, and? =)
As for Claudia, Grace, Tobie, Rik, … thanks for the ‘we like it’! Now let’s see if we can get some cultural events going on the sim. More SLart, less bullshit over nipples! ;)
Nipples?? Whaaa?
I so wish i could have been at the launch but i had a RL date… :\ But I went back to visit after the opening and it’s awesome! It’s a huge place and I loved the exhibit. I didn’t see all of the artwork yet so it’s that big, have to make a hop again a little later to lurk moar.
Thanks Cody. Feel free to drop by as often as you please. ;) (And how was the RL date? *grins*)
working on it.. working on it.. not seen everything yet..
but allow me NOT to be unanimously and 100% positive about it..
Yeah, sure. The normal ‘constructive critique I can take’ applies also to the Cannery. If you wish to trash it completely, you know my mail address? =d
[…] working on the first SLart at the Cannery SL photography show with Sho. It was maybe, probably the first SL photography exhibition of such magnitude on the Grid. I must admit, the second show might have been a bit less of a […]
