Rowan Derryth: There's no dress code
[2013/01/20 13:56]
Rowan Derryth: Also, since it is an art exhibit, I figured it would be
more authentic to stand in the 'gallery'
[2013/01/20 13:56]
Linus Lacombe: That, and I wanted to wear this mesh suit!
[2013/01/20 13:56]

not. The Baron has reminded me that there are plenty of things following that

Trenton: Hey Saff
[2013/01/20 14:09]
Bookworm Hienrichs: Transcripts will be made available on the Salon
website at http://aethersalon.blogspot.com/.
[2013/01/20 14:10]
Bookworm Hienrichs: And now to introduce our esteemed speaker.
[2013/01/20 14:10]
Bookworm Hienrichs: Rowan Derryth is the virtual persona of an actual
art & design historian based in the UK. She writes regularly on virtual art
in Second Life in her column 'Ekphrasis', available on the Prim Perfect blog.
[2013/01/20 14:10]
Bookworm Hienrichs: She is also the Curator for Avalon Arts Community,
is a judge for the University of Western Australia (UWA) 3D Art Challenge, and
is currently an advisor for the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA).
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Bookworm Hienrichs: She has spoken at the Aether Salon before, regaling
us in November of 2010 with a wonderful discussion of Aestheticism.
[2013/01/20
14:11] Bookworm Hienrichs: Welcome,
Rowan!
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Bookworm Hienrichs: /me applauds.
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Linus Lacombe: ~~~APPLAUSE ~~~APPLAUSE

Rhianon Jameson: /me applauds
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Rowan Derryth: Thanks!
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): /me applauds
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Stereo Nacht: /me cautiously waves around, being a bit late..
[2013/01/20 14:11]
Rowan Derryth: Welcome to all of YOU!
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Rowan Derryth: I'd like to thank you all for escaping the relative
safety of New Babbage today, to take part on this little field trip adventure
to our abandoned city here. I do think our journey should be relatively safe
though... I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
[2013/01/20
14:12] Rowan Derryth: /me grins
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Bookworm Hienrichs: /me chuckles.
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Darlingmonster Ember: coughs
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Rhianon Jameson: /me gulps
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): /me chuckles
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Aisling Sinclair: /me laughs
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Haveit Neox: lol
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Rowan Derryth: Actually, this talk/visit will be a bit different because
I'll be talking about this in a mostly "OOC" manner. While many
artists here take on virtual personas, we do consider the art that is made here
"real", even it cannot be touched. So what I thought we could do is
I'll briefly explain a bit about how this exhibit came to be, then we will do a
quick whistle-stop tour down to PJ's lovely underwater gallery where we can
pause and I'll tell you a little bit about the LEA, then have a question-answer
session.
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Rowan Derryth: Then, if you aren't TOO exhausted, I've arranged for a DJ
to play some Steampunk tunes in out most dangerous gallery... protective
headgear highly recommended!
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Darlingmonster Ember: keen
[2013/01/20 14:12]
Rowan Derryth: I know there are other activites, but the Baron assured
me some would want to stay to do a little dance, etc...
[2013/01/20 14:13]
Rowan Derryth: So, the name of this exhibition, as you probably know, is
'A Rusted Development'. The idea for this show was sparked by three
separate-but-related things:
[2013/01/20 14:13]
Rowan Derryth: Upon becoming an Advisor to the LEA just about a year
ago, I was offered the opportunity to guest-curate a full-sim installation here
on one of the core sims...
[2013/01/20 14:13]
Rowan Derryth: At the same time, I had been hanging a show of my private
collection in Avalon, and realised how much artwork I had, and loved, that had
a rusty, even Steampunk look to it...
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Beatrixe Rouse (beatrixerouse): /me can't help but hear a banjo and look
for the Bluths
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Rowan Derryth: Also at the same time, I was rewatching the entire series
of 'Arrested Development'.
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Rowan Derryth: YOU GOT IT!
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Rowan Derryth: hahaha
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Darlingmonster Ember: hheh
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Whispr (whispr.xue): giggle
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Rowan Derryth: (There's always cash in the banana stand!)
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Beatrixe Rouse (beatrixerouse): My ILLUSIONS Michael, my ILLUSIONS!
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Linus Lacombe: /me looks around for Bob Loblaw
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Rowan Derryth: /me grins
[2013/01/20 14:14]
Rowan Derryth: So with opportunity combined with fancy and inspired by
humour, I came up with 'A Rusted Development'. I do not fully participate in
the Steampunk communities - although as many of you know I like to 'dip my boot
in' - but it is an aesthetic I very much enjoy.... These themes relate to my
academic research interests in 19th century art and design (some of which I've
talked about at previous Salons and events), alongside those of urban renewal,
and dystopic/utopic narratives.
[2013/01/20 14:15]
Rowan Derryth: As such, I envisioned an installation where there exists
a main build - a "development"- that had fallen into ruin. It is
subsequently rescued and repopulated by a selection of artists whose work
loosely embraces similar themes.
[2013/01/20 14:15]
Rowan Derryth: I knew I wanted to curate a group show, and I loved the
idea of a kind of abandoned space that could be occupied, populated even, by
some of my favourite artists.
[2013/01/20 14:15]
Rowan Derryth: The first and perhaps biggest hurdle was, of course, the
overall build itself. I knew I had to find someone who could make something
that would not only suit this rusty theme, but also have the incredibly rare
trait of being an immersive builder who was also open enough to have other
artists come in and add their work to theirs. And in that, there was one very
clear candidate for me...
[2013/01/20 14:15]
Rowan Derryth: Haveit Neox.
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Rowan Derryth: Who is standing here to my left :-D
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): /me applauds
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Haveit Neox: Rowan, thanks so much!
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Darlingmonster Ember: /me applauds
[2013/01/20
14:16] Jimmy Branagh: /me applauds
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Rowan Derryth: One of the things that impressed me about Haveit's
amazing work '
Second Libations' was that not only was it an incredible build with a full, narrative
backstory, but he had also solicited stories from others to include in his
work.
[2013/01/20 14:16] PJ
Trenton: Yay Haveit!
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Whispr (whispr.xue): ~~ polite applause ~~
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Janet Rhiadra: yayyyy
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Rowan Derryth: Also, I knew Haveit to be one of the warmest, most
down-to-earth (and least fussy!) artists I've ever met, in any world. His is a
natural collaborative spirit, so I asked him to be my mastermind, and was
thrilled when he accepted.
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Haveit Neox: Thanks PJ!!
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Rowan Derryth: I suppose I shouldn't have been too surprised when, less
that two days later, he had come to me with his own story of my idea, taking it
far beyond my own imaginings. And that is what you see here.
[2013/01/20 14:16]
Haveit Neox: I fainted
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Rowan Derryth: Lol
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Rowan Derryth: Haveit will tell you that story in just a moment.
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Rowan Derryth: Not of him fainting.. of the exhibit
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Rowan Derryth: heh
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Haveit Neox: lol !
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): /me chuckles
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Whispr (whispr.xue): 8)
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Rowan Derryth: With Haveit's vision coming together, it was then up to
me to rally the other artists who have contributed. I of course wanted a
selection of work that would suit the build, but I was also interested in
pushing collaborative boundaries, juxtaposing the work of those you might not
normally see together.
[2013/01/20 14:17]
Rowan Derryth: In particular, I wanted to combine the work of those who
traditionally work on their own immersive builds, with the work of some of my
favourite virtual photographers.
[2013/01/20 14:18]
Rowan Derryth: (I have a soft spot for photographers.)
[2013/01/20 14:18]
Rowan Derryth: :-D
[2013/01/20 14:18] Bookworm Hienrichs: /me chuckles.
[2013/01/20 14:18] Rowan Derryth: And I must give an extra kudos
to all: to the immersive builders - for
some it was a huge step out of their comfort zone to contribute to something
that they saw as wholly built already; and to the photographers, who each
stepped out of the '2D' realm to make their artworks that float, fall, and
become part of the environment in a dynamic way. I applaud them all for taking
the risk.
[2013/01/20 14:18]
Rowan Derryth: It is also a credit to Haveit that some of the very
finest jumped at the chance to be part of this work. Our 'Rusted Artists' are
an impressive list:
[2013/01/20 14:19]
Rowan Derryth: Rose Borchovski, Artistide Despres, Claudia222 Jewell,
Bryn Oh, Scottius Polke, Ziki Questi, PJ Trenton, Blue Tsuki, Stephen Venkman,
Eliza Wierwight, and Trill Zapatero.
[2013/01/20 14:19]
Rowan Derryth: I hope you'll take the time - if you haven't before - to
wander around and see some all their work, as we won't have a chance to tour it
all away. Some of it is rather hidden, you must look high and down low.
[2013/01/20 14:19]
Haveit Neox: When you showed me that list, that's when I fainted
[2013/01/20 14:19]
Rowan Derryth: lol
[2013/01/20 14:19]
Darlingmonster Ember: :D
[2013/01/20 14:19]
Rowan Derryth: I should also mention that shortly after we opened the
talented machinimatographer Chic Aeon made a film which is playing on the media
screens to your right. It was so lovely I added it to the exhibit.
[2013/01/20 14:20]
Rowan Derryth: This was such a fun and inspiring project. I love
collaborations, and everyone really worked hard. In addition to Haveit, my
friend Ziki Questi, in many ways has acted as a co-curator, investigating
technical aspects of the build that are beyond my skill, and was as always
generally fun...
[2013/01/20 14:20]
Rowan Derryth: And Mister PJ Trenton, my ever wonderful accomplice, let
me (again) rope him into a project as designer extraordinaire (the gorgeous
poster and this catalogue are his handiwork) and co-conspirator. He truly is
the best partner in crime an art nerd could hope for.
[2013/01/20 14:20]
Rowan Derryth: /me smiles warmly
[2013/01/20 14:20]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): /me chuckles
[2013/01/20 14:20]
Haveit Neox: Bravo PJ :))
[2013/01/20
14:21] Darlingmonster Ember: huzzah
[2013/01/20 14:21]
Rowan Derryth: And now I'd like to introduce my good friend Haveit Neox,
who built this amazing floating city!

[2013/01/20 14:21]
Janet Rhiadra: yayyyyy
[2013/01/20 14:21]
Haveit Neox: Rowan Derryth truly surprised me with an invitation to
build a sim for an exhibit. Her idea was to present a rusted environment that
spoke of an abandoned city: a place where artists would come to revitalize it.
I was immediately hooked by the idea and very excited because a passion of mine
is constructing cities. Expanding on Rowan's premise, I wrote a background
story to give it a history.
[2013/01/20 14:22]
Haveit Neox: The fabled merchant city that rode atop the back of a
gigantic whale met with a calamity that ended its existence abruptly. In the
middle of the ocean, a horrific storm caused two huge ships carrying toxic
chemicals to collide into the swimming whale city. The whale and all the
populace died in the flood of chemicals that saturated the waves.
[2013/01/20 14:22]
Haveit Neox: The whale turned to bones, and the city to rust, it was
nearly half a century before this city adrift was discovered. An expedition of
artists, searching for land to build an art colony, came upon the decomposing
city. With the intent to regenerate the place, they set to work by first towing
to safe harbor the floating mass. Each artist then undertook their vision. The
empty shell of the city suddenly filled in and expanded as each artist found
their niche in the Rusted Development. No longer at the mercy of invisibility, the
city humbles its rusted facade to the highlights of the art within.
[2013/01/20 14:22]
Whispr (whispr.xue): How devastating 8(
[2013/01/20 14:23]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): /me raises an
intrigued eyebrow
[2013/01/20 14:23]
Haveit Neox: I'd like to add, that Rowan made this so easy on all of us.
She was the conductor. I had the easy joy of building, but Rowan organized all
of us.
[2013/01/20 14:24]
Rowan Derryth: /me smiles
[2013/01/20 14:24]
Rowan Derryth: You guys made it easy
[2013/01/20 14:25]
Haveit Neox: It was the first time I'd participated in a group build of
this size, and it was the best experience I could hope for.
[2013/01/20 14:25]
Rowan Derryth: Awww.
[2013/01/20 14:25]
Rowan Derryth: As you can see, he did an amazing job.
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Rowan Derryth: Thank you Haveit! Is everyone ready for a short little
tour?
[2013/01/20 14:26] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach
(klauswulfenbach.outlander): Bitte.
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Bookworm Hienrichs: /me nods enthusiastically.
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Blair Andrews (blairandionrivalionis): /me nods.
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Linus Lacombe: Certainly
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Rhianon Jameson: Indeed!
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Jimmy Branagh: Yeps
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Janet Rhiadra: yes!!!
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Lelani Carver: yes, please
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Rowan Derryth: Great! This will be interesting I think, lol.. keeping us
all together
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (klauswulfenbach.outlander): Lead on, Fraulein
Doktorin.
[2013/01/20 14:26]
Rowan Derryth: So basically all the artists were given the theme idea,
then left to make whatever they like. When Haveit had the build largely done,
they came over and scouted for spots to put their work. It was definitely a
challenge, but they group worked beautifully together. I think the result is a
bit chaotic, but in a way that really works for our idea.
[2013/01/20 14:27] Rowan
Derryth: We are standing in front of Scottius Polke's 'Eden Oxide', and you can
come back later to take a ride on his 'Boxyphant'.
[2013/01/20 14:27]
Rowan Derryth: We'll cross the bridge on the right and walk over to
Eliza Wierwight's work, but do be careful not to fall off! As we walk, make
sure not to miss Blue Tsuki's massive clocktower on the right!
[2013/01/20 14:27]
Rowan Derryth: If you get lost, look for the umbrella hat!
[2013/01/20 14:28]
Haveit Neox: lol
[2013/01/20 14:28]
Rowan Derryth: omg the lag!
[2013/01/20 14:28]
Whispr (whispr.xue): giggle... is this what they call bottlenecking? As
opposed to rubber necking??
[2013/01/20 14:28]
Haveit Neox: yes, it would appear that even the lag is rusted here
[2013/01/20 14:28]
Lelani Carver: good heavens, the atmosphere is as thick as molasses.
[2013/01/20
14:30] Jimmy Branagh: hehe
[2013/01/20 14:30]
Jimmy Branagh: Schticky!
[2013/01/20

[2013/01/20 14:31]
Rowan Derryth: Nice! Ok we will do that, lol
[2013/01/20 14:31]
Rowan Derryth: Glad I asked for the EM powah
[2013/01/20 14:31] PJ
Trenton: indeed
[2013/01/20 14:31]
Rowan Derryth: Eliza's contribution to this exhibit, A Fractured
Fairytale, represents a bold new direction as she depicts the darker aspects of
beauty, love, and pain in a series of visceral and at times shocking tableau.
[2013/01/20 14:32]
Rowan Derryth: If you haven't ever been to her store/sim Patron, you
really should as it is simply gorgeous. This work is much darker than much of
what you will find there, and I was pleased to give her the space to be able to
push her artistic boundaries.
[2013/01/20
14:32] Rowan Derryth: While we are
standing here, if you look in the direction I am facing, you will see a sphere
hanging in the air. That is by Rose Borchovski, and you can explore that on
your own, it is well worth it - but I also wanted to mention her as that work
relates to the current installation on her sim 'Two Fish' called 'The
Inevitability of Fate'... and Rose is also one of our current AIRS, and her
work 'The Arrival' just opened on LEA 23 last weekend :-)
[2013/01/20 14:32]
Linus Lacombe: Tis a far cry from her Christmas tree, which I had out
this season
[2013/01/20 14:32]
Rowan Derryth: Ha! Indeed
[2013/01/20 14:32]
Rowan Derryth: PJ has lovely pictures here:

Rowan Derryth: Let's wander around then towards a more precarious part
of the exhibit.
[2013/01/20 14:33]
Rowan Derryth: You can try to walk on, or I can send an estate tp again,
while you look around
[2013/01/20 14:34]
Rowan Derryth: stay behind me please :-)

14:48] PJ Trenton: When I was invited to
participate with all of these great artists, my challenge was what could I, as
a photographer, contribute to this rusted, abandoned city.
[2013/01/20 14:48] PJ
Trenton: I thought, what better than images of places that are no longer
around...lost as the inhabitants of the city were.

unfortunately flooded gallery

you a bit more about the LEA in general. So here is the 'official' LEA mission,
which I'd be happy to expand on in questions :-)

Rowan Derryth: The Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) was established
to help create a center of arts activity in Second Life. The LEA is run and
organized by users of Second Life, with resources generously donated by Linden
Lab, and is committed to providing access to engaging experiences in the arts
for the Second Life community. Through its exhibitions, programs, and events,
the LEA fosters awareness of artists' contributions to our virtual world and
encourages others to get involved and be inspired.

Lelani Carver: Such attention to detail - as many old photos are often
marked up by people long gone...
[2013/01/20 14:51]
Rowan Derryth: (don't mean to talk over you guys)
[2013/01/20 14:51] PJ
Trenton: indeed
[2013/01/20 14:51]
Rowan Derryth: please look around while I prattle on :-)
[2013/01/20 14:51]
Rowan Derryth: So in more practical terms, and a bit of history, Linden
Labs originally set up nine regions to be used for art, and put out a call for
committee members to run them. My understanding is that they also encouraged
some key members of the art community to apply, such as Bryn Oh, who is still
on the committee.
[2013/01/20 14:52]
Rowan Derryth: The committee was established, but not really given any
direction from the Lab - which as you can imagine was both a good and a
challenging thing. Good in that they had the freedom to be totally autonomous
and not be under LL's thumb... challenging in establishing their goals.
[2013/01/20 14:52]
Rowan Derryth: Like any new organisation, there have been growing pains,
but in my view they original group did a great job getting things going. I've
heard criticism that they 'spun their wheels' for a while, however I think that
getting any new project launched is challenging enough - and doing it in this
environment? Even moreso.
[2013/01/20 14:53]
Rowan Derryth: In any case, based on their early projects and ability to
show clear progress, they were able to negotiate 20 more regions (!!) from
Linden Lab, for the purpose of providing them to artists for 6 months at a time
- free! This the LEA AIRS - Artists-in-Residence - were born. Anyone is welcome
to apply to be an AIR, and applications are reviewed and selected by the
committee.
[2013/01/20 14:53]
Rowan Derryth: Now that we have a couple rounds done, we have a pretty
good system in place. We reconfigured the sims (if you look on your maps you
will see 5 groups of islands), and 5 of us - myself included - act as liaisons
to support a group of four AIRS.
[2013/01/20 14:53]
Rowan Derryth: We are currently just over halfway through this round,
and we set aside the first 4 months as a 'build period' - although most
exhibits are already open. The absolute deadline though is the end of this
month... and then we have a new exciting plan!
[2013/01/20 14:54]
Whispr (whispr.xue): You do an incredible job of organization for such a
large project!!
[2013/01/20
14:54] Rowan Derryth: On February 2nd,
we'll be having a big arts festival! All the exhibits will be open, and we will
have events, talks, performances, etc. We are looking forward to it! I'll be
interviewing many of the artists that weekend too, so do come out.
[2013/01/20 14:54]
Rowan Derryth: We are currently on one of the original 9 sims. We use
these for different purposes such as large-scale exhibits by guest curators
like this one... Education projects... the very fun Avatar Games is run on one
sim (it was on hiatus but will be re-launched soon by Honour Macmillan and
team)...
[2013/01/20 14:54]
Darlingmonster Ember: grand
[2013/01/20 14:54]
Rowan Derryth: And we've just started a new grant programme for
performance-based work. It has always been our intention to make sure we
recognise the 's' in Arts, and we are pleased to finally have that going!
[2013/01/20 14:55]
Rowan Derryth: SO that's the LEA! I'd be pleased to answer any questions
you might have!
[2013/01/20 14:55]
Whispr (whispr.xue): very commendable!!
[2013/01/20 14:55]
