SL Destinations: 3 Realms of ART

Welcome forward everyone!,

Revan and I are always exploring dozens of sims per day.
We’ve come across so many beautiful & fascinating destinations in Second Life.
Some places are very small, and not much to them to do a full post on,
but still made a big impression on us that we saved landmarks to revisit at another time.

You can imagine the substantial collection we have, we like just about everything lol
With so many LMs in possession, We thought to condense some choice favorites in categories.

Our picks in the “3 Realms” series will be of the Arts in this post.
Art forms in SL are interestingly diverse, With unique perspectives and creativity.
Please take time to support the Art community, refer and patron them frequently.

Look on as we cover the historic, the fun and the interactive.

************************************************
The Terracotta Soldiers (TP)

 

This SL replica of ancient funerary art is AMAZING.

 

Here are the RL facts for this: In 1974 these figures were discovered by local farmers in the Lintong District, Xi’an, Shaanxi province.
The figures include warriors, chariots and horses, & varied in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals.

 

These terracotta statues represented the armies of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.
When he passed, They were buried with him to protect the emperor in his afterlife.

 

************************************************
The Port (TP)

 

Loved Loved Loved this place!
This sim is a mashup of eclectic art galleries & media.

 

The Port is a sandbox of sorts for those into machinima, Offering LOTs of resources, & helpful tips.

 

It also has exploratory tunnels, caves & interactive art to play with.

 

Enter the building called the “Pencil factory” to see innovative & successful past projects that were launched in SL.
We haunted this place for a couple of hours LOL, & had a BALL here!

***********************************************
Echoes in the Garden (TP)

 

This is one of several interactive installs in SL, by Artist Rose Borchovski.
Echoes is a continuation of the story on a character named Beth and her Grandchild Lot.
This sad and haunting tale comes about because of war.

 

Bound by rules restricting them of what they can and cannot do,
Beth and Lot were forced to flee their home because a war had started.
They were separated in all the calamity, and Beth never found her grandchild again.

 

The Artist injects so much emotion into her creations.
You can feel the fear, the loss and pain of an upcoming war and separation.

Other installations by This artist can be found here:

Take Care until we read again ❤

SL Destinations: Pangloss, Banana Island

Greetings Explorers,

In today’s post we take you to the colorful and surreal Banana island nicknamed Pangloss.

This Pink world is inspired by infra-red military photography and the dreams of Bowie Lana Zeplin the Sim creator.

Climb ladders into the sky and take in the view on the backs of giant flying turtles.

Winding tunnels lead to hidden caves where gold plants and flowers make a stark contrast to the pink world outside.

Flying fish, brightly colored birds and butterflies will stir your imagination.

Pangloss Opens officially this weekend and we hope you will enjoy relaxing in the pergola or at the piano as much as we did.

Thanks for following our blog.
Take care till the next time 🙂

SL Destinations: Macbeth

Welcome Wanderers,
This post brings you a literary gem of Foul Whisperings & Strange Matters.

 

Macbeth is a dark and powerful tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

 

It is the story of a Scottish General who received a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of
Scotland.

 

Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife Lady Macbeth, He then murders The King and takes the throne for
himself.

 

Soon after, Macbeth’s heart couldn’t handle the sin., He is wracked with guilt and paranoia, and is forced to commit MORE murders to protect himself from suspicion.

 

He and his wife descend on a complex journey of arrogance, madness, and subsequent death.

Although this sim is an educational build for a RL School, We feel it doubles as an Art Install,
Thought provoking and worthy of a visit.

 

Thanks for visiting this blog and please feel free to leave a comment.
We’d love to hear from you. 🙂
