once again this is work with:
http://www.intersectartcollective.com/

nevermind the nevermind

Inter.sect is back on with the LA Film Festival, we will be doing reaction prompts. It's not the original venue or what we had in our heads, but it is still a great honor to be part of the LA Film Festival. Our works will be linked in to their events. I'm excited! I also can edit and be more creative with these short narratives!

I will update as soon as I know more!

LA Film Festival/LA Art Walk/Digital Art LA

Never mind...the whole thing was canceled because the programmer who was supposed to set up all of our aps put off doing his job to long and failed us. It's unfortunate. but Inter.sect will regroup and retry.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


Mental note..Saying "got" instead of "was" is very hick. I need to not do that.


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

My work with the art group inter.sect has brought me into an invite only art event, in which i will submitting short videos reacting to a prompt, for a large wall project. And an exciting project where I will be asked to react to art at the Film Festival. I will update the blog with news of these things while it is going on Thursday the 13th through Sunday the 16th. You can watch my submissions on the Zannel player that will be embedded below, and see others submissions through the Inter.sect web page: http://intersectartcollective.com/

We will also be featured on the LA Film Festival's web page. I hope if you are in the Los Angeles area during this time you will come out and see everything that is going on.



Also I have been listed as one of the selected Jurors on the H20 web page, for an international submission show that was announced in Art In America. Eventualy My video will be previewed through the page, though The full video can be watched on my Blip.tv account here:

Trolling off of Second Life: Annoying people on social networking sights

I posted part of your picture, so you can sue me for partial copyright. :D

Trolling on Second Life Part 3::: Some people just won't like the shit yah do.

So apparently my escapades on Brooklyn Is Watching managed to freak out a number of podcast commentators. Apparently I am shamelessly self promoting with penises. I think this is hilarious.
I actually need to work on some images for a mass Performance Trolling I want to do where I register for various bulletin boards then post picture content till they ban me. It'll be more tasteful than you are thinking btw.

Anyways, I actually made a response to this pod cast in art shrine form. It's a homage to Thomas Kinkade. Thomas Kinkade is the painter of mother fucking light, and is a vastly missunderstood genius. He also likes Mudkips, lol cats, and all things great. Maybe next I should make a shrine to H.R. Giger. Is your skin crawling yet? This is my best idea sense my internship idea Juggs Magazine.
Nebulosus Severine: (Saved Wed May 13 03:19:20 2009) haha, just checking out your thomas kinkade shrine at BIW -- hilairous!!
[15:00] Nebulosus Severine: (Saved Wed May 13 03:19:33 2009) hilarious, too! :P
[2009/05/12 13:42] Oberon Onmura: ooo
I installed a box that you can click on to buy those prints for the cost of nothing in world. Don't we all need some Thomas Kinkade in our sl homes?

The cocks are there for shamless self promotion, and to create fetishes to the ever present maleness of art. mmm. boys club.

Jesus Christ Looks Like...

and of other note

I was recently involved in a pod cast held by the Art Hole group... It was an invite thing for people who have made work in second life, and it got a little press.

you can check it out here: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2009/04/metaverse-music.html

My second life name is Tanith Catteneo, for those of you not "in the know".

Trolling Second Life Part 2:: Prim Cocks

According to Encyclopedia Dramatica the economy of Second Life is fuled by Prim cocks.
I've found this to be true.
So when confronted with a giant Prim Nude posted on Brooklyn Is Watching,
What could I do but add to the realism?



Penumbra Carter then joined me and we decided to take a seat on this giant cock of love.


Penumbra then added a tire swing to the cock, ahh the simple joys of second life.

Fema Fucks Up Coloring Books

FEMA has bad taste, I just reflect that.

oh and I was invited to participate in a pod cast where people who make or have made art in second life are invited to select and song and talk about a moment that it affected their lives: http://arthole.shadow-dominion.com/Arahan/arahan_29.04.09.mp3

enjoy!

Nightmare Nipple F by Otto Von Schirach

dade

the last will and testiment of pissing people off

Well, Ms. Titty picked up her sign. I guess that's pretty much the end of this thread. No Godwin's law, I'm so sad!

Anyways the final throws that lead to her Finlay picking up her pink sign involved:Arahan Claveau decided to add his own brand of magic floating nipples complete with star light pink juicy bits! It's a great way to spend the night. sucking on a magic pink nipply bit. Also see this blog entry by Arahan, because he made a fun video about his magical pink titties, and inane comments left by people on face book, for people who do the weird erotic avatar art that started this whole debacle.

Then everyone gathered round, held hands, and sang songs about Arahan's rezzing of the magic sparkly boobies all around the sim. This makes him more woman then me, and lists him as one of the main mocking art Gods of our generation.
The Island that hosts Brooklyn Is Watching was even crowned with it's own pair of sparkly pink tits. Their will be no more lonely nights in this land of boobies. I think this might teach Ms. Titty something about the glories of what artist's can do if they think together, and reach far. Like my goal of being Jugg's magazine's artist in residence. A few years ago i never dreamed it possible, now i feel i should collect a magic book of e-porn to try to prove to them, I have what it takes.
Penumbra Carter also contributed this lovely Tit Zeppelin. I think that should be the name of her all girl Led Zeppelin cover band! wouldn't that be smashing!
Side profile of the magical Tit Zeppelin!
Dekka Raymaker decided to add a new entrance to Brooklyn Is Watching, with it's very own door! On the outside he provided a handy gallery of nudes for you to enjoy!

This also includes a sign on the door that says: please dress appropriately before you leave the gallery be considerate to our neighbours So i think this is an open invitation to run around topless once you leave the gallery. please hug anyone about to enter so they can enjoy your bi-curious tit-time. :D
Here is a shot from with in the Brooklyn is watching space.
of course I had to make some kind of twitty responce. Because they all lost it. Lost their damn minds because I had the balls to stand up to terrible and inconvenient art!
I do love you all.
Oh and enjoy a free barbie av from Arahan! Just incase your world isn't pink and delightful enough.

the days of second life trolling: Wednesday

It just won't stop. But I think I got another person who realizes that everything you do on the internet is dead fucking serious. I mean how can I not be serious about getting a Residency at Juggs Magazine? I think they at least owe me endorsement money for how many times i've hyper linked to them this week. Buy a titty mag and tell them Vanessa sent you.


So today Maya Paris responded by putting up her advert for Nip Cozies. I think this is an awesome product, i mean nothing says dead sexy like plad. My dream is to some day get to wear these sexy sexy undergraments and greet my man wearing them and one of those matching plad hunting hats with the flaps. Oh god...Yesssss...
I really coudln't think of a whitty sign though. So I just rez'd a beer on it, you know, Old Milwaukee Beer, who makes some of the finest schlitz in the country. Guys, feel free to take some of that malted beer money and take me on as your artist in resident too. I think it could be a great marrying of Juggs and Beer. Think of the xhtml based opportunites I could present to you.
So Hollow Prim ...well i think they are kinda butthurt about the entire, me mocking some weirdo who wanted to show off her nippy pictures, and put up a sign that said "Next Time Make Your Criticism in a subtler typeface."
omg. i'm so hurt by their use of white, and a more graphic design friendly font. their whit and criticism of my criticism both astounds and upsets me. I'd quit. If i really gave a shit.
So i Made them a little sign. You see I have a dirty love of the font "Terminal" it's the old school first font that was found on all printers, pre-monitor's even! It's the secret to good Ascii art in my opennion, and if anyone knows my work, they know i spent 6 months makin Ascii animations. @--\--. Plus loud, crude, and basic is more my MO then pretentious graphic designer who is out to shut up the upity art student disturbing their digital Utopia. If they resond again, i hope it's to enact Godwin's Law. If they don't do it, i sure as fuck am.
Oh and this was a photo of my pissy sign. Note I spelled Skool with a k, to both seem ironic and annoying. I'm so proud. :D

bimbo war part 4: descent into silly

Well it looks like, in response to me, the trash fellow rez'd a giant pair of tits to block the entrance to Brooklyn is watching.
Here is a pulled out shot so that you can have an idea what his really big really fake titties look like.

Here is my response. When things get to this level of weird, I always turn to Monty Python. It's never failed me. Made me look like a total nerd...but failed, ah-ha! Never!Here is the text, again, for your amusement. I hope Ms. Wet-t-shirt shows back up. lulz

bimbo war part 3: trolling of the trolls

so Felch Finesmith decided to include trash bags stacked up on my tribute to the amazing piece of shit previously documented. I'm excited to see the pile of biohazard, trash bags, and trash bins so bravely expressing his feelings about the whole thing. but i don't think that just laughing about the trash bags was going art enough. no no no. So long as people comet on this, i'm going to keep acting like a complete twit. I mean i made a twitty commitment,a nd who am i to fold in on it. So i made a sign responce, and proceeded to get turned on/upset about the presence of trash over my beautiful bimbo-tography.
The words "diffuse glow" is kind of an inside joke. Arahan Claveau made a photo mocking the use of diffuse glow in second life art work to make things seem "pretty" as it's kind of used by people who don't know what they are doing to "improve" their b-rate art work. Basicly the orginator of this whole bimbo war is the kind of person who would make something, slap diffuse glow on it, and say it's "good". Otherwise i'm kind of trying to expolit this girls need for bad attention, and she is really getting some bad attetion now. I hope her friends join in to try to out troll me.
Here is my sign installed so that you can see the otherside of my bimbo picture reinactment, the pile of trash, my first offensive sign, and now my 4th removed version of reinacting the bimbo chick by mocking her sign telling me she feels it's unfair i criticized her Juggs worthy second life photograph. Maybe Juggs should consider doing a virtual world tribute in their fine publication, so you know... people in need of a jerk off mag can open their horizions some. Maybe I should contact Juggs and discuss this possiblity with them, maybe Juggs would take me on as their artist in resident, as i don't think the poronography industry is really all that hurt by the current down turn in economics..and well... I obviously have a real appreciation for tits.

sadness

Well I didn't have the original titty picture to share with all of you..so I decided to recreate the incident that lead to my upsetting mangina's everywhere on second life..here is my reproduction of the bimbo art i was supposed to just ignore.

Second Life, what a life.

I find the kinds of sociological weirdness that happen in second life very fascinating. For example the men who get on the game, pretend to be female, and seek out other female avatar's in order to have sex. 2 years of being on second life i can spot a "mangina" at 20 paces.

So when someone erected a photograph of their Avatar in a wet-t-shirt (nipples and all!) right in front of the entrance of Brooklyn is Watching, I didn't really notice. You see a lot of shitty "in world" photography in second life, and this one wasn't even notably shitty or good. Then I realized, however; that whomever placed the picture board in front of the entrance hadn't even had the decency to set it to transparent so that your avatar could pass through it into the "entrance" of the sim. So the combination of obvious mangina...attention whore...weird wish fulfillment, and just fucking bad/annoying art made me snap..and i made her a little sign..it said "Next time block the entrance with Art that is worth looking at. Now cover your nipples, please."

I made the box phantom so the sign could be passed through and hoped the little hint i left would not fall on deaf ears... Well it didn't! she/he/it actually removed the sign, and left me another sign accusing me of discriminating against he/she/it for showing her body in "art" hahaha..right... So I've responded with another tacky sign. I have to admit, the idea of this kind of antagonistic dialog appeals to me. I want to document it. I love these ridiculous "my dick is bigger" sessions you can get in on the internet. The emotional investment, the anonymity, combined with the skewed wish fulfillment going on in Second Life makes for an interesting forum for this. Lets see where it goes.here is her profile.... IT says:
Young girl out to explore the SL world. Taking it one step at a time.
Songs - ...Like You'll Never See Me Again, Nineteen,

Still trying to figure out why I want to be with girls and not...

Why do I always have this tingling feeling in my gut when I listen to love songs? Is it because I don't know where I belong?? Is it because God hates me?
this was the original offending sign. A sight to a moment of her would be, crappy, glory.full shot of what stands now.

close up of her offended sign. She's referring to this really horrible piece some Italian fellow did on the Brooklyn Is Watching sim...about Icarus... It's only slightly better then her badly place photograph, but it just doesn't....block the entrance to the sim, so i'll save my wrath for later.
This is my newest rude sign. I figure she likes bad attention so the "nice tits" part will really turn her on. I mean why else would you take a cheezy photo of fake online avatar in a wet-t-shirt ala Juggs and not want people to make comments about how trashy you are? I dunno. I can't wait to here the response.

Dialogs are important to me. Why else would I be here?
