UWA Sky Sim 3D Art Installation: Endangered Species Zoo Maze - Dec 11 to Dec 31

Endangered Species Zoo Maze

I was awarded a sky sim space for an art exhibit by the University of Western Australia (You can read about my exhibit on their blog, as well).  It opens on December 11.  The Opening Reception is on that day from 6 PM to 8PM.  Hope to see you there!

When trying to decide what to propose for this exhibit, I asked a friend, "If you could create anything, even if it was something not possible in real life, what would you make?"  Her response wasn't exactly what I was going for.  It was, "I would help the animals."  At first, I dismissed it as not having answered the question.

I later returned to her answer and asked myself, "How can I use my 3D art to help real life animals?"  The answer I came up with was a 3D zoo of endangered species; with links to donate to the World Wildlife Fund.  I wanted to help the animals, not only by asking for money to help them, but also by providing an educational exhibit.  For this purpose, I chose species that are not widely known and I've included links to information about them.

This has turned into a rather large undertaking!  Consequently, not all the environment objects are my own creations.  Things such as plants and rocks may have been created by other Second Life residents.  The items that are my creations are mostly mesh, so you will need a mesh enabled viewer to enjoy this exhibit.  (Exact location will be posted at a later date.)

Finally, I wanted to add an element of fun to the exhibit, so I set the zoo within a garden maze!  There will be a treasure hunt on the first day of the exhibit, where you can get some of my products for free, and a few visitors will also win some L$!

UWA Sky Sim Art Exhibit Location

It's official!  The UWA Sky Sim Art Exhibit has been announced!  My "Interactive Zoo of Endangered Species" is scheduled for December.  It will be located at WASP Land/139/44/249 (Currently, the SLurl link isn't working, but if you type WASP Land/139/44/249 into your log in screen, you can get there).  The first exhibit starts October 1st at 7pm.  It's "jjccc Art" by jjccc Coronet.  See the UWA announcement for a listing of all the shows.

UWA September Art Challenge!

Please view and vote for my Unicorn Desk with Mushroom Stool at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA/61/134/250!  The only specifications for this challenge are a 110 prim limit.  I made it with a 86 prim equivalency, hence the blockiness on the unicorn. I plan on adding more scripted features to this piece and selling it in the marketplace.  (I will also be submitting one or two pieces to next month's challenge.  I'm thinking I'll make them relevant to Halloween.)

UWA Sky Sim Art Exhibit

I've just been informed that I will be creating an exhibit for UWA (University if Western Australia) in Second Life for the month of December.  I will have a 5000 prim limit.  I don't want to give up all the details yet, but it involves an interactive exhibit on endangered species.  I will begin creation today.  When the event gets closer, I will post more details, including the location.  =D
