Yesterday I entered the University of Western Australia's Centenary 3D Open Art Challenge, a prize for 3D art created in the virtual world of Second Life. A few years ago I was one of the winners of the UWA's Imagine art prize under my previous Second Life name of Snubnose Genopeak. Since then, the UWA has worked tirelessly to promote the Arts in Second Life, and I was pleased to be able to support their centenary celebrations.
For my entry, I wanted to celebrate not the UWA's past, but their future, and the work they have done to support cutting edge developments in art. My submission is a kinetic sculpture called The Geometry of Flux, and was entered under my Second Life name, Cajska Carlsson. It is an exploration of the future of form and content, a geometry that constantly evolves into ever new forms. The sound component of the installation similarly generates evolving forms in a continuous evolution. It was composed using only feedback, though this is disguised by the ethereal nature of the sound.
The exhibition will be open throughout June and July 2012. You can visit it by following this link. You will need a Second Life account, which is free.
Here is the description that accompanies the piece.
Form and content are linked together through a dialectical process in shining unity.Constant evolution...development...a movement towards, but never reaching...never repeating...Discard the old semiotic forms of meaning, that endlessly recycle the experience of the ages.Create a new form of sensory-motor meaning.Meaning through direct experience : of the senses : of movement : construct a new world.
