SLEA Proposal: Flash Fiction Island
Flash Fiction Island will be a public art space in Second Life where Artists, Writers, and Interested Public can interact, explore virtual creativity, and collaborate on projects.
Will SLEA represent the full range of creative ideas in Second Life?
The SLEA organizers seem headed for a capitalist definition of art as the production of objects. I encourage you to submit proposals that focus not on object production but on process, experience, community, and co-creation.
2 Suggestions to Maximize the Value of SLEA (Second Life Endowment for the Arts)

Love Beach, Sunday
Peeps began rezzing selfies. Lazy peeps like me rezzed simple cubes. Overachievers created small shrines. Everyone shared the love.
Day 85: Love Beach
Take a selfie. Print “I Love You” on it. Rez a prim @Love Beach @LEA1. Put your photo on your prim.
Day 27: Instant City
CAA Phase 2 has exploded onto LEA1! It is SO pretty! But is it livable? Is it truly walkable? And if it isn’t, what would be?
Day 26: The Olive Garden
In the first minutes of MU CAA-VUP, Olive erects a bold curtain wall, saying goodbye to the neighbors, and casting our College lot more clearly with ourselves. Welcome 2 Phase II.
Day 23: Thinking about Avatar Architecture
We’re ending a very successful CAA Phase I, and encouraging you to think about Livable Spaces in Phase II. Think about Architectural form that functions to meet avatar needs. Think about urban space that promotes community and interaction.
Day 5: Impossible Architecture & a New Font
Chris Craft’s been stretching the limits of architecture on a small sandbar on the north shore of LEA1. Meanwhile, Cake designed a font!
Day 4: In the Gorge
The Von Tsuki’s, Count & Callie, have been doing some cool explorations in the mountain gorge in the North-East corner of LEA1. Also Klaus goes boating and Sun Cat explores Ableism.

Convocation & Avatar Pride Parade are coming this Saturday. Meanwhile ETS cams the neighbors. And the LEA1 Space Race continues!

Hello World!
Hello, I’m on VR sabbatical. I summoned all my strength and actually picked up my phone and took some selfies. Enjoy.
My Magic Box is Lonely
Reality is perception. Emotion is projection. We over anthropomorphize everything. And maybe we should.
Coming Soon: Avatar Editions!
A new service for discriminating collectors, Avatar Editions offers select prints from well-known avatar artists.
Periscope! End the Misogyny!
Periscope is a toxic platform for women. Platforms like Riot Games’ League of Legends have shown it doesn’t have to be that way.
The Word “Block” in Every Language
After “Boobs” & “Open”, “Block” is probably the 3rd most common word on Periscope. Here’s “block” in every language.
Tor, Torri, Brad, Bradley, Guy, Guyanne
Streaming mobile video app Periscope is letting a new generation of hair stylists present their work & skills to a new and crazy wide audience!
Open Bobs
On Periscope the strange command “Open Boobs” is almost a mantra. Do women actually take their tops off on Periscope? Is there a more human way to communicate?
What is the value of Bree Olson’s ass?
When Bree Olson streams live, and her audience “taps for hearts,” they create real value and real money. They are the value, not a few lines of Periscope’s code.
Bree Olson, Killer App
Today “Killer Aps” aren’t software that make hardware go, but People who make platforms go. And Bree Olson is the killer app of Periscope.
Are Weddings Performance Art?
Weddings are big-budget productions with rich casts, spectacular wardrobe & complex choreography. Are they performance art?
Why I am an atheist
It’s easy to express the negative aspects of religion, but what about the positive, life-affirming aspects of atheism?
