Here's a beautiful and moody sneak peak at the latest installation by acclaimed metaverse artist Bryn Oh, a 3D poem called "Tilt-a-Whirl", part of an unfolding story and an insight into the life of the real person behind the avatar:
"My artwork within Second Life for the past decade has been a type of diary," she explains. "Each work touches upon parts of my life which I then fashion into a narrative in order for me to better reflect on these things which, in some ways, consume me:
"Each work, beginning with the Rabbicorn story at IBM ten years ago, is a chapter in a larger story which I slowly am telling. Themes range from the desire to find a deeper connection or way to be with someone such as with the Rabbicorn or 26 tines to moral questions on technology and how they may affect us. Imogen and the pigeons and its prequel the Singularity of Kumiko talked about recording ones life as data to create a type of immortality. The question then was, if our memories were now editable as a computer language.. then how long would it be before we began to edit out our sorrows? Does happiness have meaning only with the existence of sadness? Does one need the other. This new single scene poem called Tilt-a-Whirl is a memory of mine. But one that is fuzzy and altered, that is a mix of light hearted, nostalgic yet also juxtaposed against darkness and a bit melancholy."
