The Museum of the Globe

ish tomsen's art installation in second life


I saw him building this a couple of weeks ago over on Japan Resort one night. Boxes. Hundreds of them. Pure white and forming a shape... then, poof he was gone along with the build.

Now, I see it installed on KAZE as The Museum of the Globe representing the colors of humanity.

There were hundreds of pure white boxes forming an egg-shape shell with a platform inside, and a single chair to allow you to sit and read the posters laid out on the floor.

I sat there for a while mesmerized by the simplicity of the build itself. Simple white boxes making a very powerful statement. It is amazing. Thank you Ish Tomsen!

mathematics applied to art


Right brain meets left brain is one of the reasons I love Second LIfe. 
Artists here are also scripters and mathematicians as they apply the tenets of their science to their artwork.

Life Art Gallery is an explanation of mathematics applied to the wonders of the building process here in SL. It is a divine place for those of us with a math and science background touring through the magic of building in the virtual metaverse. Check it out! Math and Art! Woot!

Bay City Alliance is the oldest and largest group in Bay City with approximately 200+ members. The community is well connected with a fun sense of humor and seems to welcome all!

Note: Thank you to the Bay City community for their wonderful celebration! (I heard that there was a beautiful home still for sale on the river there! What a wonderful place for an SL'er to live!)


Photos were difficult to take due to the large amount of avatars participating on the sim. Last count was approximately 56+. Apologies for the gray goo pics!

2010 and half the year is almost over. The pace of the grid just marches on...

After all these years, we both have a lot of fun on the grid. Despite the group dynamics, despite the drama on the grid, despite everything... we still enjoy this place called Second Life.

Enjoy this wonderment... this place of imagination and beauty. It is a fine place to find yourself, to discover who you are inside and to share your dreams with the rest of the grid.

I still love it here no matter what comes my way. And, our avatars, raftwet jewell and xavier thiebaud will live forever in our hearts.
