Tragedy and a New Blog

Hey virtual performance people....

This is the last post to the SF 1.0 blog, as we are in the process of making a spiffy new SF site, and we have the SF Blog going, where we will tell you all about June 30th's Iron Lung Grand Prix at Amsterdam. We smoked the crowd with clouds of cigarettes, other "stuff, and drove our jaunty jalopies made of |Soviet-era Iron Lungs around the Dam...

More soon.

TRAGEDY STRIKES Second Front!








Yes, it's true! (Well, maybe...)
Only days after the Grand Theft Avatar performance, a freak mishap claimed the lives of SF'ers Wirxli FlimFlam and AliseIborg Zhaoying. During a rehearsal for |SL5B, a 10m anvil was accidentally dropped that was not set to "Phantom" and smashed them to bits (or bytes, or pixels). A virtual memorial was held with SF & friends in attendance, Bit from Tron, MegaByte from ReBoot, and Buzz Lightyear.

Well, maybe it's not exactly true.
The good news is that Jeremy and Penny were accepted to Graduate School in Vancouver. But conversely, they join the ranks of SF Emiritii that have thrown pies at the virtual world (or pizzas, at least). These things happen, but for them it's a good thing, because they don't need to be worried about the likes of the evil Investor Allen and the invading alien horde of the USS Allenvest.

Oh, wait... that's another story.
Hey - see you on the other blog...

Patrick/Man.

News Flash! Bank heist was an Inside Job!

Personal Secretary (AliseIborg Zhaoying) working undercover for the robbers performs a ‘laptop’ dance in order to distract the Bank Manager (Wirxli FlimFlam) just seconds before the robbers storm the bank.


In Grand Theft Avatar, Second Front challenges the authenticity and embodiment of virtual identities by assuming avatar identities including those of Camille Utterback, Char Davies, Howard Rheingold and Christiane Paul to commit a parodied staging of a bank hold-up of the Linden treasury. As the robbers plotted their raid, it was just another regular work day for the bank staff that included Gazira Babeli as the Janitor, Bibbe Oh as the Bank Receptionist (looking like the reformed Patty Hearst), Wirxli FlimFlam as the Bank Manager (looking very Howard Rheingold-ish even in Wirxli's signature purple) and AliseIborg Zhaoying as the Personal Secretary. With one exception - the Personal Secretary was actually a double-crosser working on the inside for the robbers and was doing her best to distract the Bank Manager from the drone of the approaching robber-copter above.

Lounging in our post-heist lap of luxury, and not having to work in our boring bank jobs, some of us at Second Front are finding the time to be philosophers, pondering on such lofty questions as: Who is my avatar self? How much of my Pre-Second Life self am I investing in my avatar? Can we actually own our avatar identity? If not, is it possible to steal virtual identities? and even if it's verging on paranoia, should we ask ourselves who or what really does - Linden?! YIKES! We welcome all you Second Front groupies to send us your comments and to help us do some very serious soul searching.

Grand Theft Avatar

Last week, Second Front did a live performance at the San Francisco Art Institute on a panel titled "From Cinema to Machinima" (moderated by Christiane Paul and Lynn Hershman Leeson). The problem is that Second Front is out of cash. Dead broke. We're forced resort to extreme measures.

Here is our hit: The Linden Treasury.

Don't let the doe eyes and the dragonfly wings fool you: the vaults were heavily guarded (guard is our own Lizsolo Mathilde).

Tran Spire, Great Escape, Man Michinaga and Fau Ferdinand assembled in the "evil genius" room to plan the heist. Not only do we want to pocket some Linden Dollars for ourselves; we also planned to free the currency from the virtual bank.

After all, Linden Labs owns huge swaths of land, they make their own laws and the mint their own currency. They essentially are a nation-state.

First, we donned costumes to resemble those on the panel. Man Michinaga disguised himself as Christiane Paul. Fau Ferdinand is Camille Utterback toting a cute scarf and giant gun.

Tran Spire looks suspiciously like Char Davies — armed and tres dangereux.

And Great Escape assumed the identity of Scott Snibbe, mild-mannered mastermind.

Stick 'em up! Here you can see us arriving in the copter. The janitor (played by Gazira Babeli) stopped scrubbing the floors and put her hands in the air. Smart move.

Patty Hearst (played by Bibbe Oh) was the bank receptionist. Sigh, we miss the days when Patty was fun.

KA-BOOM! We used custom-built explosives to crack the vault. Yikes! Howard went down. We didn't mean to hurt anyone...

A-HA! Sacks of Linden dollars. Great Escape grabs all he can while gunfire erupts in the background.

We hop in the copter with the police in hot pursuit. Fly away money, be free!

As the grand finale, we hop on a H-Bombs and ride them Slim Pickens style into the sunset. Yahoo! Yee-haw!

Minotaure Haledol Dreams...Behind The Scenes...

Find more videos like this on Odyssey Contemporary Art and Performance

This video of edited raw "rehearsal" and "performance" footage is by the Curator of the Museo del Metaverso, Roxelo Babenco. This video is fascinating in that it shows the blOOpers, glitches and sim crashes. What is the point of a live performance without these special features? ;-)

Hey there Minotauring Marble-dumpers, Padded Cellmates and Hipster Haledolts!

Finally, we have had enough time to reflect at "length" about our most recent performance that took place at Dorkbot Paris called "Haledol Dreams of The Minotaure".

We were successful with our attempts to blur the once-rigid events known as "rehearsal" and "official performance" into one epic and overblown theatrical Gesamtkunstwerk escapade - an insane one, at that!

Here is a basic list of the movements for this performance....This was originally drafted by Fau Ferdinand and Bibbe Oh and revised by the rest of Second Front...

I - "Rehearsal"
This was intended to confuse the audience and question the borderlines where formal theater and "just playing around" blur. Since all of Second Life is BOTH a "rehearsal" and a "performance" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we thought we would have a movement that would reflect this.

II - "Part 1"

As the audience arrives and takes their seats in the padded room, the Nurses are already in place in yellow plastic chairs and the patients roam around the space playing their (dancing and wailing) animations. In addition to a selection of anims, each Patient has a wall they may attach as a proximity reaction when another avatar is perceived to be too close. When the Nurses spy a behavior they do not like, they react by shooting a hypodermic (enema sized needle) at the offending patient(s).

III - "Part 2"

Fau/Minotaure freaks out at a Nurse and is shot with a hypodermic and is rendered semi-conscious. Great Escape as Theseus approaches and offers Fau/Mino a tango. They dance.
The patients continue to improvise--but without the use of walls.

NO SMOKING

YOU WILL BE TIED TODAY

Fau/Minotaure is furious!

IV - "Part 3"

Fau counter-attacks by charging with a goring animation.

Liz (one of the nurses) shoots many syringes into Fau/Mino as she is charging--Fau falls. The inmates go out of control...

THE END

This event was curated by Evo Szuyuan and hosted at La Cantine Numerique in Paris in RL. If you do not believe this actually happened, just put on a beret to look like an Artiste and head down to:
151 rue Montmartre, dans le Passage des Panoramas, Paris
Métro Grands Boulevards
...and knock 536 times and ask for documentation from whomever is still watching re-runs of this momentous and historic event.

Speaking of re-runs, here are some photos from this performance...

Photo by Great Escape. This is the official entrance to the building. As you can see, this was a well postered event...

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a pic of Fau Ferdinand getting ready to perform as the Minotaure.

Here is Wirxli (yes, the blogger of this post) in the foreground with the audience and other Second Fronters including: Aliseiborg Zhaoying, Great Escape and Fau Ferdinand..Osprey Therian is one of the audience avatars who recorded a very classy video...

Here is Wirxli posing with the sexxxy nurses Lizsolo Mathilde and Chi5 Shenzhou.

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a pic of Tran Spire with his competing Jesus robe as well as further appearances by Alise, Liz, Chi5, Wirxli (sitting down) and Theseus aka. Great Escape...

Here is a kinky pic of Liz and Chi5 sitting by themselves with enema-sized needles.

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a close-up pic of Chi5 with a syringe...

Photo by Great Escape. Here is another action shot of Liz, Great Escape/Theseus and Chi5.

Here we can see the direct Jesus Idol competition between the equally delusional Wirxli and Tran as competing Jesus-freaks. The brand new Second Fronter Bibbe Oh is also seen in this pic. She was involved in many awesome pose-actions!

Here is Theseus (GE) chasing after the minotaur with Gog Mannonen also doing an impromptu intervention...In this instance, we have text that is calling out the performance "goo" that we were able to control in realtime...Quite honestly, this kind of text looks like Jim Morrison's poetry though...heheheheheh! ;-)

Here is a pic of Fau the Minotaure hiding behind the seats, Alise with her Nestorian tablet, GE/Theseus and Wirxli...

Once again, here is a great action shot of Bibbe flying through the air... In addition, we have Fau, Wirxli, Alise, Bibbe, Liz, Tran, and Chi5 ensuring that the spirit the "rehearsal" is still in effect...

Here is Wirxli (me) officially announcing the rehearsal, at last..sigh! What was funny is that we had a rehearsal for our official rehearsal...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! O, The Agony! ;-)

What is a good performance without some pyrotechnics and other rock'n'roll atmospherics? We managed to rez some virtual dry ice that hovered mere pixels above the padded cell's floor...

Here we have Rep Zabaleta from Dorkbot Paris having a puff of some leftover virtual dry ice pixels while we rez the crosses...

In order to guarantee multiple readings of our performance, we had ensured that there would be enough white noise on the video screen for spontaneous ITCs... On another note, Odyssey Island's curator Sugar Seville was also in the audience...

Photo by Tran Spire. Here is another angle of the white noise. The ensuing asylum cacophony still haunts both the space and the audience.

It looks like Tran has taken full messianic control of the white noise on the screen...well.... at least he believes he is channeling the 10 Commandments there, anyway... Alise is also in this photo as is an Easter rabbit (it was Easter Friday after all) and the official Dorkbot poster managed to make a special cameo appearance. Ok ok, posters do not have a choice like avatars do...they are forced to make an appearance since they are (usually) inanimate objects...unless they are goo-jects ;-)

This photo depicts an epic battle between GE and Fau... This battle is quite epic since many additional Second Fronters are involved in the action (if you can call it that). For example, Tran is on the floor writhing in messianic ecstacy while Nick Rhodes (Orange Island Curator) and assorted VIPs from the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse including the Evo Szuyuan the event's curator can also be seen in the audience...

Theseus takes a swipe at the Minotaure while Tran reaches his Christian climax when he passionately exclaims "I HAVE FALLEN...AND I CAN'T GET UP"...

This picture is very compositionally classical in that we see more action on the ground and a bigger audience for the colesseum slaying...

"WHEN I AM SEDATED, I HAVE DELUSIONS THAT THIS IS A THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE..." - Wirxli FLimflam. Great Escape looks wounded but this might just be for...er... theatrical effect. People are not meant to be wounded during the "rehearsal", right? ;-) .. Maybe some of the audience members were beginning to clue in that the official performance was about to begin as Paco Mariani found his own nosebleed seat... Also, one of the Dorkbots was doing a pole dance in anticipation of the grand finale to come... I mentioned VIPs earlier and one prominent one in the audience was Finally Outlander who lectured about his new film VolaVola earlier in the day....

Photo by Tran Spire. Here is a rather gratuitous angle showing the wounded Great Escape plus the gang looking insane as usual.

Photo by Tran Spire. Here is a decent pic of Wirxli (me) grabbing one of the audience member's body by her head like a marionette...Is this what the Second Fronter Gazira Babeli meant when she thought Second Life reminder her of some kind of twisted puppet show?

Photo by Tran Spire. Once again, here is another zany shot of Second Front.

This photo was taken due to the nice ambient lighting of the padded cell. One audience member looks like Gaz...is this Osprey?

Here is an amusing audience shot that also shows Great Escape with Fau about 2 tango.... Second Fronter VIP, Blued Food is also out of rehab and back in the audience...

Photo by Great Escape. It took awhile before the crowd realized that we were still "rehearsing"....hee hee! The assembled crowd began to grow which was all we needed to prolong the theatrical chaos. In this photo Tran, Alise, Fau/GE (tango-ing), Wirxli (me) and Bibbe are visible...

Photo by Great Escape. Here are some speech balloons that we rezzed when we said the magic word, "rise". Liz and Tran are also moonlighting in this pic.

Photo by Great Escape. GIMME SHOCK AND AWE TREATMENT! Here are some swarming Purpleized Iraqi flags and a speech balloon that says "Gimme Shock Treatment!" We can see more cameos from Alise, Wirxli and even Fau's bum is in this pic! Are you looking for an exit strategy at this point? ;-)

Photo by Great Escape. SHOCK AND AWWWWWWWWEEEE! Here is another tender tango pic....

Photo by Great Escape. This pic is so extremely tender, you can even see Great Escape's facial details...talk about a close shave, eh?

Photo by Great Escape. Fau looks fay in this very touching tango.

Photo by Great Escape. AWWWWW(EEEE), they must be like, in love or something! ;-)

Photo by Great Escape. Are you sick of the sentimental tango pix yet? LOL!

Photo by Great Escape.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just when you thought you had seen the last tango pic... ;-)


Photo by Great Escape (naturally). Here is a solo pic of Great Escape as Theseus..Check out those rippling pex!

Here is a close up of Wirxli (me) with my token cross (I always fall back on a crutch such as a cross when I have nothing else to do in the performance). This pic can also be seen as an action shot of Great Escape... This is definitely a climax moment and not a blOOper as Fau is most certainly getting enema from Chi5 at this time... On a un-related note, I think everyone was in agreement that day that Samara Cioc had an AMAZING fire-extinguisher on her leg.

This one last archive pic from our behind-the-scenes footage includes a close up of Alise and Wirxli (me) as well as Liz, Fau, Tran and Bibbe...

Thanks for being patient and waiting for this posted equivalent of a "bonus feature" to arrive onto this blog! Please stay tuned for our up and coming performance premiering on April 14th, 2008 titled "Grand Theft Avatar 3, Heist City"...

We, Minotaur Dreams

Photograph shows AliseIborg Zhaoying in 'AWAY' state due to sim crashing with Wirxli Flimflam in far right, Tran Spire and Liz Solo in background.

Hallucinating in absences, within the padded walls where mythical memory and unknowable circumstances clash. We are not what we seem, and the monstrous is beautifully fragile in the throes of sim crashing and uncertainties of our psyche. We drug our memory, drown in our stories of centuries ago to surface in the chaos of action - memory - action - consequences. The logic of disorder lives in a minotaur and we, within the traces of its dreams - ironic, benign, glorious.

Haledol Dreams of the Minotaure

Economie 0 - Upgrade! Paris....

This pic was taken at the beginning of the artist talk for Upgrade Paris. The official website for the streaming live video of the event is listed right on the picture itself.

Hey there Parisian Upgraders, Senegalese Ultra-Nationalists, and bribed critics!

The intro pic above gives you the impression that our artist talk at Upgrade Paris went smoothly and on time but actually for the first part of the day, we were unsure if we had schedule at the correct time! There was alot of confusion between AM and PM and SLT (Second Life Time/Pacific) time zones. Were we supposed to meet at 5 PM or 5AM and was it in France's local time zone or in SLT? One of the curators, Toto Donat had troubles signing on apparenty, so we could not find her online...we figured that maybe we had already missed our talk like 12 hours ago...sigh! There was no sign of any curator nor any other speaker (including a bunch of curators and artists from Senegal who were scheduled before us).

It was a good thing that we killed some time at Club Neptune just in case one of the curators would sign on and tell us what was happening. Fortunately, co-curator Karolwojtyla Sobocinski signed into SL in the nick of time and apologized for being late.

Here is a pic of us dancing at Club Neptune while waiting for the curator to show up...

What better way to wait for a curator and discuss future shows than to dance your ass off?

Waiting for the curator(s) to arrive was a good idea because we managed to talk alot about our earlier performances and they even publically acknowledged that we are now an "established institution"...wow! I guess it has been awhile since we formed in late 2006!

During the talk, it was slightly confusing as to exactly what was happening in Paris. There were two people in RL controlling Karol's SL avatar (Marika and Karol, one guesses) and they were also fiddling with the video camera in Paris which we could not see...in fact, our SL audience only consisted of one avatar but that one avatar was a camera from which an indeterminate number of RL audience members were checking us out. Karol tried to keep us on topic with regards to the ways in which SL's economy influences our performance. We bribed Karol behind the scenes until he/she was content with our answer ;-) But basically, we talked about squatting abandoned corporate headquarters, delivering pizza for free, unintentionally interrupting stock market transactions, bribing critics and hiring bodyguards for disproportionate prices. No one in their right mind would actually think we were really inspired by something as banal as the economy, right? Heheheheheh...Speaking of sponsorship to stimulate the economy, it was great to see Ars Virtua's logo represented at the venue.

Wow! Look at that detailed Google Map! What is that doing on the floor? It does not look like Wall Street at all! ;-) Ok ok, actually it is a map of Beijing...The artist talk was held on the site of JC Fremont's installation, Imaging Beijing. As for the event itself, it was around this time that we were begging Karol (or perhaps Toto/Marika Dermineur if she happened to be behind the avvie) to get the audience to ask us some questions because we were running out of anything relevant to say...usually, it only takes us a total of 2 minutes before we give up on talking about anything and feel the compulsion to launch some rockets and/or explode over and over again! We were unusually patient and self-disciplined today...we even kept our clothes on...phew!

Bibbe Oh was finally able to join us to wrap up the Q&A session with Upgrade Paris...She left the Club Neptune earlier at a time when we all felt that we were too late for our own talk but then Bibbe heeded a desperate IM from us to rejoin the fray and answer a concluding question about the new European taxation system in Second Life...it did not seem to matter though since only one of us in attendence was living in Europe.

Second Wall-ker Art Center....

"Second Wall-ker Art Center or Dancing About Architecture" (ZKM Island and Director's Lounge, Berlin 2008). Ok, this snapshot was taken just when co-performer Man Michinaga was announcing the concept and context behind our dancing architecture performance. Because we announced all this, it comes as quite a surprise that some bloggers felt "upset" by our performance because they felt griefed by our dancing walls but it was not as if we did not tell people in advance what we were up to and it was OUR performance so there was nothing to grief. People were there to be a part of that performance so we did nothing out of context. When things are live, nothing can be predictable though...even after the context has been announced so when someone is invited to a Second Front performance, they need a little disclaimer typed out for them in order for them to understand what they are getting into. Anyway on another note, to prove that this event happened in realtime, you will notice that there was a tiny typo that says "mueum" rather than "museum"..If this was just a machinima film, you would see everything typo-corrected to look SLick so there you are...that was a screenshot live as it happened.

Hey there Blue Maomarines, Blue Berliners, ZKM-heads and wispy wallflowers!

Yes, the rumour is true! Second Front has managed to escape from rehab and have returned to creating new performance art classics in Second Life!

Second Front's performance last week called "Second Wall-ker Art Center - Dancing about Architecture" was a smash hit (hopefully the attendees did not get too sore from the smash hit...sigh)! This performance was actually a sequel to the original "Second Wall-ker Art Center" performance at the MART Museum.

Second Front with the curatorial help of Olga Wunderlich at the Director's Lounge and the ZKM Staff ensured that the topography of virtual space has been restored to its most pure and natural state - that of a completely segregated ghetto of walled land-plots....heheheheheheheheh! This event was part of the Berlinale in...yes! In Berlin!

We performed as an intermission of sorts for some other performance that had something to do with boxing philosophers or something somewhat profound like that...

Well, there will be a video all about it very soon so for now, this is just a preliminary summary of what happened... In the meantime, here are some more photos for you...

Speaking of realtime typos, this may have been a typo and/or an example of clever wit but it is quite interesting to hear Bobzilla Carnell say "hell all" when the walls began to dance at a frenzied pace. This picture was taken to show the title-text clearly and also to focus on the fine detail of one of the walls (bricks, mortal and all).

Here is a pic of co-performer Bibbe Oh getting "floored" by pressing the "h" key (h = horizontal)... Maybe people thought we were griefing them because some people felt as if they were trapped in the walls... This claustrophobic sensation should have only been temporary though unless they also had their eyes glued to that groovy disco Op Art floor...WHOA!


Bibbe was not the only person hooked on "h". Co-performer Great Escape enjoyed assuming the horizontal position many times over... Walled floors like this look really great when acting as a counter-balance to the Blue Mao ceiling tiles...time for a cultural revolution, comrades!

Here is AliseIborg Zhaoying showing off her new Post-Rehab look, that of an elliptical (or is it ecliptical?) doll-face....heheheheh...

Here is an aerial view of Alise showing the viewer how it is easy to peel back the veil of SLebrity rehabilitation. We can also see Tran Spire's supersized burger in the background...Was it a Quarter Waller? Heheheheheh.

This captured quote from SaveMe Oh is worth keeping on our blog-wall..."I will not hang my Rembrandt in this museum"....heheheheheheh. What about a kinetic Rembrandt? On a more formalistic note, this pic is a good illustration of how the speech bubbles were occasionally cropped into pieces by the imposing walls...

This pic was taken to show off the hamburger one of the many props used to show our pre-occupation with the aesthetics of prop-art...heheheheheheh.

This pic was taken to show aspects of the interface. For example, one of the dance moves is there for you in plain view... The fastdance2 move was one designed by Odyssey's Curator, Sugar Seville for the purpose of turning the entire audience into a bunch of puritan wallflowers, relatively speaking. This pic was also taken to once again brag about the amazing decor on Locusolus... How often do you get to see a palm tree juxtaposed next to an action carpet (Pollock style) close up outside of Las Vegas? I wonder if Gumnosophistai Nurmi was feeling somewhat Californian when he declared this architectural opus as "Radical Architecture!"?

How about this for a jazzy wall configuration? Maybe inspired by the sexiness of this wonderwall ensemble, Ze Moo felt compelled to say: "where are the orgy pose walls?"

If you look closely, you can see one of the ZKM Island Curators, Aristide Zabelin. Once again, Second Front have made a very aesthetically pleasing configuration. That faceball on the right is reminiscent of Tony Oursler's RL work, wouldn't you agree? I think you can see why we like to divide the seemingly open-ended virtual space using walls, right? The Avatar Orchestra Metaverse's instrument builder, Bingo Onomatopoeia had the zeitgeist all figured out when he said, "walls are prototypical in virtual environments".

Here is a sneak preview of Gazira Babeli's wall canvas and Wirxli's (me, the blogger) photograph of his/her RL clone, Phil Spector.

"No windows? (They) must be Mac lovers" - Chantal Harvey... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GOOD ONE, CHANTAL! AWESOME! More great puns, more Great Walls and more orgiastic floor detail...Even the crowd looks great! So, what were all the griefing complaints all about? It was a perfect consensual moment shared by all, wasn't it?

Griefing even at its more artistic would never look as aesthetically pleasing as this...gaze at the interplay between angled walls and shadow spectors...er...Spectres... Doesn't the crowd appear overshadowed by the walls while posturing like wallflowers... All and all, there is another brick in the ART!


This is yet another shot of the spectre....er...Spector, Curator and token palm tree.



One of the best walls on display had a portruding pile of shopping carts being rammed through the pestle of the brick-laid pelvis...Was this Tran Spire's wall? If the pink flamingoes from the past are any indication, this was likely Tran's wall.

This pic was taken towards the end of the performance. The Blue Maos gave us the visual signal that it was about time to wrap up our performance. We did not get the hint though until the Director's Lounge curator, Olga Wunderlich in Berlin said, "the DJs are ready to go"...

This pic was taken right at the climax of our performance...There is nothing more sublime than a floral firework explosion of Blue Maos. Even the Cultural Revolution never reached this pinnacle of pixellated perfection.

Virtual New Year and Second Front

Hello, Second Front Fans!

Man Michinaga here - They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no..."
Let's see if I last as long as Any Winehouse.

I: Update -
Last Fall was really amazing, Second Front was in tremendous demand, we were globetrotting like mad. That's the source of the Chinese curse, I think "May you get what you wish for." By the end of December, the major performance twice a month had us mirroring great acts like Blondie and Metallica. Whew. Virtual rock stars are not unlike the tangible ones. No use in talking about who, what or how it happened, we took a break over the holidays.

It's funny, in the virtual, taking a normal holiday seems like taking this big hiatus. Strange how virtual worlds have a different sense of time than the physical world. But now that the holidays are over, there is a ton of things going on with SF, although many of them are not necessarily under the SF banner. Nothing top secret here.

Next week, Great Escape (Scott Kildall) and his partner Victoria Scott are showing their Imaginary Objects as part of the Mixed Realities show in Boston, Lizsolo just got a grant for some machinima, and I'm working on some small pieces and the backlog of machinima pieces from last fall, including Wrath of Kong, Russian Roulette, and more.

We are doing a piece on ZKM island for Director's Lounge in Berlin in February, and also another piece in Paris... More on that as they happen. In addition, there will be a small piece in Kansas City in March.

II: The Premature Reports of SF's Death, & SL Art as a whole.
Yes, there were rumors of our demise after Miami. Not so, but our focus and ways will be 'different' than last year. Imagine performances with 2-3 artists, unannounced interventions, traditional SF performances, as well as possibly fully "re-formed" forms of SF. It was just that it's hard to have a full-time first and second life...

Marco Manray and I were talking about the nature of SL art, and we seem to agree that the first era of SL art passed late last year. This is because most of us (Gaz, Marco, the Twangs, myself) have upcoming RL shows of SL work, signalling the bleed-over of SL work as contemporary art. The first Generation, who we called Virtualists, set the foundation for contemporary art in virtual worlds. We are in the second generation now, and it's a real challenge.

I believe there will be three main groups - the SLart crowd, who will focus on the SL community as a primary audience, the RL/SL artist who is the contemporary artist using SL as a tool, and the ones who try both. I tend to be inthe first category, but SF as a whole might be between 1 & 2...

3: SF in Europe
"I Want to Eat Fish & Chips", Tate Modern, January 15, 2008
Fau and Man got together in London (the REAL one) and went off to the Tate Modern to answer MTAA's sponsored piece in NYC "I Want to Make Tamales" by Elaine Tin Nyo. (http://www.tinjail.com/over_the_opening/2008/01) We invited friends involved with Furtherfield.org, and went up to the 7th floor, where we commenced to get tamales, and through the Wi-Fi, Gaz Babeli was on Losoculous in SL with many fish on sticks. The good-old-fashioned cod was amazing, as was the Dandelion and Burdock Soda...

"Hacking the Cage" with Ze Moo
When Man went to Amsterdam to speak (in part) on Second Front at the Video Vortex conference at the Institute for Networked Cultures, he suddenly wound up at Ze Moo's "Couple in the Cage" installation in the Amsterdam district which was also in the Video Vortex gallery installation in Amsterdam. Immediately, Patrick/Man grabbed a keyboard and invaded Columbia College's sim with the Male of the two, Ad Breda, The administrators were confused at Columbia, but witht he understanding this was a Second Front intervention, the alert was cancelled...

However, for the next two weeks, Man, Fau, GE, and Gaz visited the cage and even hacked their way inside to question the safety of the cage itself with anime figures, fire lizards, and robots.   Today, though, the cage was sold, and the two inhabitants were set free, now all we have to do is find them.

However, afterwards, Gaz and Fau interrogated Man from within a block of solid carbonite... Why this was done is still up to debate, but it seemed good at the moment.

Second Wall-ker Art Center at MART Museum

During the interrogation, an invite came from Pei Twang to come to an italian opening at the MART museum of art in SL. Since we have been working on a piece called the "Second Wall-ker Art Center", everyone donned 20 meter square walls and engaged in some "Dancing About Architecture".  Unfortunately, I don't know much Italian, but Gaz tells me that "bannato" is a very nice word...  Marco Manray liked the piece very much, and sent me some great images.

So, that's about it for now.  No mysteries, a few surprises, but some very human avatar-artists are going into the next generation of virtual performance art... 

I'll try to get more images up soon.

Art Basel Miami Vice!

What happened here? Is this an official performance or an excuse to squander Second Front's official invite at the Zonal Contemporary ArtFair in Miami? Perhaps this performance is all about squandering any conventional expectations for what traditionally constitutes a formal "performance" in favour the more divine cause of partying like a maniac? OK, you can blame the recent influx of virtual snow (cocaine) this wintertime as the primary cause for this downhill Telecultural snow crash. Here is a pic of what the event "Art Basel Miami Vice" looked like at its peak/climax before everything was snorted, sexxxed and eventually sucked down the drain (and up the group's nose orifaces).
Yes, you are not hallucinating - those actually are ostriches in an orgy room with some paranoid ego-crazed cokehead performance artists arming themselves to the teeth while inviting a bunch of their employees and friends to take part in this decadent debaucle! So, how did this all come to pass? Do these actions deserve some avatarial discipline and maybe even some rehab for the holiday season? Ho Ho Ho, time to read more about it below...

Hey there Boogie Nightlights and Vice Squads with dayglo fannie packs, pastel Armani Suits and two-day stubble!

This posting is the beginning of the documentation from our most recent performance in Miami.

Here was our official press release written by Man Michinaga:

To commemorate the arrival of Second Life based performance to the
shows surrounding Art Basel Miami, SL's first performance art
collective, Second front, are creating an event entitled "Art Basel
Miami Vice" This work is in conjunction with the TeleCulture
exhibition, curated by Jillian MacDonald and presented by Lee
Wells/PAM at Zones, Second Front works presented by Gosia Koscielak
Gallery, as well as live projections at the Atlantic Basin Project
and at The Project Room, Columbia College Chicago.

Scenario:

Recent successes have catapulted Second Front to the heights of the
virtual art world. And, in coming to Art Basel Miami, SF has fallen
in with the proper scene of art-world decadence. Hovering limos,
pastel suits, .45 caliber pistols, seas of virtual coke and sexual
peccadillos with flocks of ostriches invade Miami nightlife. Will SF
fall in with virtual Colombian drug cartels? Will they even sell a
painting? And what about the Ostriches?

Art Basel Miami Vice is an expose of the Miami art world underground
nightlife with all its drama, danger, and wildlife.

Thanks to all of the sponsoring institutions for making the piece
possible, and check the Second Front Blog around Christmas for more
information...

So that was how we mythologized this event, here are some more photos to prove to you that the "myths" are in fact, very REAL...

So, the evening did not exactly begin without a hitch. Perhaps we were trying a little too hard to keep our cool but the fact was, we were begging to be chilled-out even more by our recently minted stash of Second Snow. Already, withdrawal was causing some organizational mix-ups as we were trying to coordinate two limos and two limo drivers. We spent so much of our hard earned Linden bux on cocaine (before Fau bailed us out, it was costing us L$30 a line...yikes!), we resorted to hiring a chimp named Clint and our friend Blued Food as the limo drivers (the ones Second Front planned to hire bailed out on us at the last minute, perhaps they had their own vices to pursue at all cost or maybe they knew that we would not be able to pay them on time due to our own expensive pursuits...sigh!). So anyways, here is a pic of some of the SF members trying sit properly in one of the limosines... The initial plan was simple: 1) just drive every member in 2 limos down the hill maybe 2 or 3 blocks and then, 2) arrive in SLebrity style at our Miami Villa designed from pre-fab parts by Gazira Babeli...Yeah, that was the "plan" but every coke-head has a half-baked "plan" waiting to hatch, right?


At the time this pic was taken, we managed to fish one of the limos out of the water (we were so high, we thought all limos in SL were amphibious) and also spotted one of our favourite members of the paparazzi, Marco Manray. He hitched a ride with us in more ways than one...Usually in RL, the paparazzi chases behind the stars sitting in the limosine but this time, the paparazzi was chasing with us while IN the limo...this kind of logic only makes sense in SL or for those who are too high on nose candy to care.

The black limo may not have been able to swim through water but Blued Food's more luxurious white limo was able to hover (a la the movie Blade Runner) us up to the top of the Villa for the commencement of the party's Phase One. Since only Blued's limo was working properly, he had to pick us all up in two driving installments since each limo only seated 4 (other than the driver)....Well, at least we were able to "pay him in kind" for his services rendered as you will read in the upcoming...er...lines ahead ;-)

Within minutes of disembarking the entire Second Front group and the entourage from the limo and onto the Villa's rooftop patio, the Second Fronters wasted no time and began to line up and er.... "perform" at the altar next to the hot tub and the interactive copy of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies book....SNIFF! SNORT! "ME FIRST!" "NO, ME FIRST!" Does this sound familiar? In the artworld and rockstar world, we call these selfish and greedy attitudes a form of "successful group dynamics" ;-)

By the time this pic was taken, most of the group was sober enough to head downstairs to snort some additional lines of coke in the main lobby... It took Lizsolo Mathilde and Wirxli Flimflam (yes me, the blogger du jour) quite a few minutes (perhaps hours) afterwards to move our noses off the tray upstairs and proceed to the "2nd course" portion of the powder buffet... Liz and I are used to getting bogged down with lines and lines of something...these days, we call this ritual part of the "grant writing application process".... "OH! WHAT A FEELING!"

Finally, the party moved to the main lobby downstairs and in hardly any time flat, Second Fronters were flattening out both their nasal cavities and their spines...fortunately, there were couches! It was also at this time that we (including the "paparazzi") began inviting more of our friends to show in order to "further subvert the conventional expectations underlying a conventional performance"...er...some BS like that anyway. What we really wanted was more hot pixel-prims for the orgy and since Second Fronter Fau Ferdinand found some free refillable coke (only available to VIP SLebrities like Second Front), we felt that the more would indeed be the merrier :-)

Here is yet another pic of us huddling around the couches... It was great to see our friends Bibbe Oh and Chi5 Shenzhou there and the group was also introduced to Marco's friend, Bettina Tizzy. A little later in the evening, the Italian Film-maker Finally Outlander (oh wait, he was there almost at the beginning of the snortfest, actually) and also the Berliner Blogging Artist, Olga Wunderlich joined in to indulge in the action and also.... Yes, the performance artist Bea Box was also there and the rest is probably just a blurry blizzard at this point...

Here is where we see the third and final phase of our "performance". The "performance" culminated in a surreal orgy and fiendish coke-snorting session that left most of us paranoid and ego-maniacal. The bedroom coke orgy was so intense, you could even see if from this zoomed out pic... I think Second Fronter Man Michinaga had the right idea and bailed before events took their natural turn for the worse. Some Second Front members (like Great Escape, AliseIborg Zhaoying and Tea Chenille) were super-wise by either staying home sober or simply snorting their own supply at home. Blog readers can rest assured that this performance party very likely seriously burned us out and perhaps Second Front's New Years Resolution for 2008 will be to check into Rehab...sigh! At the very least, we hope the curators at Miami were forgiving enough to consider booking us in the near future...

WRATH OF KONG at PERFORMA 07, NYC

Photo by Penny Leong Browne (a.k.a. AliseIborg Zhaoying)

On Nov 3, 2007, Second Front performed Wrath of Kong at PERFORMA 07, part of The Second Biennial of New Visual Art Performance (October 27-November 20, 2007)

Based on the iconography of King Kong and Donkey Kong, Second Front saves the real Princess Peach (Man Michinaga s.k.a. Patrick Lichty) and defeats King Kong (Gazira Babeli) in this epic remix that had our avatars ascending up ramps and ladders to the top of the Empire State building where the Great Kong had captured Princess Peach in its grip. Second Front launched their attack by flying biplanes (Great Escape a.k.a. Scott Kildall and Tran Spire a.k.a. Doug Jarvis), riding up ramps in a lime-green motorscooter (Tea Chenille a.k.a. Tanya Skuce), wearing flaming barrels (Wirxli FlimFlam a.k.a. Jeremy Turner) and shooting laser guns (AliseIborg Zhaoying a.k.a. Penny Leong Browne) all to the retro sounds of arcade games. Other strategies of assault had Wirxli FlimFlam throwing barrels from ramps and gunfighter Fau Ferdinand a.k.a. Yaels Gilk shooting ammo from atop an attacking biplane flown by Great Escape. Versions of Princess Peach were also deployed to distract the Kong from the real Princess Peach (Man Michinaga) with Tea Chenille as the adorable miniature Cabbage-Patch-like doll, and AliseIborg Zhaoying posing as the pixellated 2D Princess Peach and acting as a love interest decoy by spraying pherenomes at King Kong. Liz Solo sent minute-by-minute reportage to both the audience below and those in (RL) NYC who anxiously awaited news of the rescue of Princess Peach.

The pics here show some Second Front performers standing in victory on the body of the defeated Kong.

"Theatre of the Subliminal Front" at LIVE 07, Vancouver

Photo by AliseIborg Zhaoying (a.k.a. Penny Leong Browne)

Second Front performs at the Western Front in Vancouver as part of the LIVE 2007 Biennial of Performance Art, October 20, 2007.

Inside the "Theatre of the Subliminal Front" Second Front members discover they are both the performers and the subject of a meditative action-painting. To the beats of a gong in a Hermann Nitsch soundtrack, Second Front performers shoot paint cans that splatter paint on impact, exploding colour onto a scene that depicts the performers' avatars as paper cut-outs getting crucified in the "theatre", with Nitsch paintings, crosses and a billboard of the Second Front setting the stage. In the final scene. Second Front performers play dead, releasing their souls from their avatar bodies.

Guest-curated by James Morgan of Ars Virtua and Jeremy Turner.

Second Front's own video coming soon!

ZOMBIE ATTACK! 28 AVATARS LATER...

SOME BRAINPOWER REQUIRED: SECOND FRONT GAINS NEW UNDEAD ALLIES WITHIN SECONDS OF ASCENDING THEIR GRAVES...
Photo by Great Escape. This pic illustrated well the disciplined nature of Second Front. Even with only 5 of us there at the very beginning, we managed to rid ourselves of any healthy flesh and got straight down to the nitty gritty task of infecting new zombies to act as SF cameo-appearances....

***UPDATE FROM THE NEAR FUTURE...
OLGA WUNDERLICH HAS BLOGGED THIS PERFORMANCE!***

Hey there splEEn-spOOks, thriller-seekers and other blood guzzling hobbyists,

About a week ago, Second Front drank some bad blood and turned into zombies en masse.

Always suckers for more popularity, the motley crew of avatar performance artists decided to turn their particular crisis into an opportunity and seize the Day of the Dead...

Consider this blog posting to be kind of like a photo-essay - you know, the kind that TIME magazine might publish or something ;-)

Ok, no point in describing everything in excruciating theoretical detail, here are some more pix from our performance called "Zombie Attack! 28 Avatars Later"...

Photo by Great Escape. Without a moment to waste, Second Front congregates at the "Stuff on Pikes" graveyard and gradually chomps the masses of flesh-filled nOObs in their group pursuit of the Quest for Brains...

Photo by Great Escape. Left-Right: Great Escape, Macky Oh (an infected nun with a groovy sk8board), Olga Wunderlich (stunned like a deer caught in headlights and waiting to be infected), Gazira Babeli (background) and Wirxli Flimflam.

Photo by Great Escape. It looks like Olga is pretending to hang around Great Escape and Macky Oh as if nothing unusual has happened. She was probably hoping that no one would take notice that her flesh was full-figured and her brain was still intact...ooops! Great Escape (the zombie with the most brain cells still in his head), saw opportunity knocking! ;-)

Photo by Great Escape. Olga is the very first victim of the evening. Great Escape has the pleasure of getting first dibs on her supple pixel-flesh. Perhaps this is Great Escape's form of gratitude for being interviewed by Olga a few weeks ago...heheheheh!

Photo by Great Escape. The infection works! Olga is Second Front's very first cameo zombie!

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a revealing pic of AliseIborg Zhaoying, Wirxli Flimflam and Macky Oh.

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a close-up of Lizsolo Mathilde as a zombie.

Photo by Great Escape. This pic was taken the minute Man Michinaga joined us. This moment was important as Man Michinaga's Aons-old arrival signaled the rest of us to officially commence Second Front's zany zombiefest.

Photo by Great Escape. Second Front members shown from left-right: Man Michinaga, Wirxli Flimflam, Tran Spire and Great Escape.

Photo by Great Escape. Great Escape's next victim apparently ownes the Graveyard (according to "reliable sources") so it is likely that she was eager to be victimized as soon as possible.

Photo by Great Escape. Ok, this pic shows that the "chaos" of our zombie dance was in fact perfectly choreographed. It would not be suprising if Ulrika Zugzwang would be pleased with our thrilling coordination.
Left-right: Great Escape, Tran Spire, Wirxli Flimflam, Liz Solo and some cameo zombie with some fancy blue shoes.

Photo by Great Escape. This might look like a scene straight out of an Ulrika Zugzwang machinima movie but actually, this pic shows Second Front getting enough blood and guts to channel the legion of cacodemons from the Doom Trilogy.. You might know the Ancient saying, "We are Legion for we are plenty".

Photo by Great Escape. BRAAAAYYYNNNZZZ! WE NEEEED MOOOREE NOOOOOB BRAAAYYYYNZZZZ! The zombies begin to look desperate so Second Front sends forth a scavenger scout (Wirxli) to hunt down more nOObs in other designated land-plots.

AND YET, SECOND FRONT's HORDE BORES QUICKLY AND THEY STILL NEED MORE FRESH BRAINS...

Photo by Great Escape. Gazira Babeli and AliseIborg Zhaoying have gleeful fun coordinating the feasting activities of the zombie horde.

CURATE OR BE CUREATEN: ARS VIRTUA's CURATOR GETS INFECTED BY SECOND FRONT!

Photo by Great Escape. The Unholy ritual is complete! Ars Virtua's curator Rubaiyat Shatner has been successfully infected by Great Escape. From this point onward, Institutions and Performance Artists will forever be bonded in blood (and brains, of course)!

Photo by Great Escape. We think this winged zombie used to be Olga Wunderlich, but now we are not so certain.... I think we missed the missing link in this part of her evolution towards full-blown zombiehood...sigh!

Photo by Great Escape. Finally, we found a zombie training basement where we could test out our newfound brainlessness.

Photo by Great Escape. Here we are practicing our devious dance moves for MUNCHFEST 2007.

WELCOME TO THE DEVIL's PLAYGROUND!

Photo by Great Escape. At this point, we had teleported to The Devil's Playground where we were able to locate more brains and innards for our cause...

Photo by Great Escape. Here are some cameo-zombies having a field-day with each other in the Devil's Playground. Great Escape is doing a great job of micro-management here. Who says zombies are incapable of efficiency? ;-)

BLOOD RED-BERETS: WOULD YOU LIKE ANY THRILLER FRIES WITH THAT?
QUENCHING BRAINTHIRST AT THE EIFFEL TOWER IN NEW-PARIS...

Photo by Great Escape. At this stage in the "game", we had entered New Paris in order to find the Eiffel Tower. The French are always sitting ducks waiting to be consumed by Performance Art! In the foreground from left-right are the Second Front members: Great Escape and Tea Chenille. Yes, most of the pictures feature Great Escape this time and this is because he was in charge of taking the photos...lol!

Photo by Great Escape. If you look above, you will see that our friend Fau Ferdinand is one of the poor infected souls forced to make an appearance as a cameo-zombie for Second Front. If you look a little more closely, you will also noticed that we use teddy bears to lure in our prey...Mwua-hahahahahaha!

Photo by Great Escape. Here is another pic showing Great Escape faffing around with our zombie cameo-fodder.

THE CARNIVAL OF BRAINLESS CARNAGE CONTINUES IN THE LOCAL nOOb SANDBOX...

Photo by Great Escape. Here we have Second Front members Liz Solo and (yes, again) Great Escape playing in the sandbox when they should be on the hunt looking for fresh nOOb blOOd. At least they were dancing the authentic zombie dance since they were adhering to the measured grid-lines of the local venue. Context is everything when it comes to Second Front performances, even when one has to resort to line-dancing!

Photo by Great Escape. Either it is photographic propaganda or Great Escape appears to be the most successful with hunting down fresh meat! Perhaps, his grid-dance mentioned above was a way to focus his leftover virility and brainpower in a calculated effort to seduce more avatar bodies? Long Live The nOOb Flesh!

Photo by Great Escape. Some of the nOObs in the sandbox were genuinely afraid of us and tried to flee from this performance artist epidemic.

IRISH (S)CREAM, ANYONE? THE CARNAGE CLIMAXES IN A LAGGY DUBLIN NITECLUB...

Photo by Great Escape. The Monster Mash! Here we are in some packed (and therefore, laggy) bar in Dublin full of drunken Irish rowdies who were really cheery and pleasant (what's new?)...in fact, some of them were even brave enough to get close to our infectious (s)pores!

Photo by Great Escape. As you can see, there was plenty of tantalizing Irish nOObflesh to be had...YUMMY TREATS! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....BRAAAAAAYNNNNNZ! NEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD BRRAAAAYYYYNZZZ!

Photo by Great Escape. Some of the more well-accomplished table-dancers managed to avoid our infectious grooves entirely and stick to their own non-sticky shimmy. I guess in a way, anytime after midnite is fair game to pretend you are undead!

Photo by Great Escape. Here is another view of the Irish dancefloor... Zombie Bloody Zombie! I will follow!

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a great aerial view of the Irish party bash!

SUICIDE-SAUCE: ENDPARTY IN RAUSCH's COMBAT SIM...

Photo by Great Escape. Finally, we decided to re-visit our old "haunt" (pardon the pun) - the Rausch combat sim where we once performed our Martyr Sauce intervention many (full) moons ago...

Photo by Great Escape. Left-Right: Tea Chenille, Great Escape, Man Michinaga, Liz Solo and Wirxli Flimflam.... MMMMMM! Some freshly rezzed brains just begging to be eaten in the safe zone of the combat sandbox! Hmmm..which side to eat first, the left side or the right of the brain? Oh well, all this sort of theoretical thinking was too lively for us so we figured it was best just dance our hearts out (in some cases, literally).

Photo by Great Escape. Here we are again dancing further and further into conceptual Goth oblivion...Hmmm...I guess we had too many brains for our bite, eh? Sigh!

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a good aerial pic showing you the kind of mayhem-sauce we were dipping into for dinner. We had a surplus of brains that day which might explain the epic length of our performance.

Photo by Great Escape. Finally, we decided to try some suicide sauce with our brains to enhance the flavourless flavour and sure enough, it was Second Jonestown without the snipers! I mean, we were in the safe part of the combat zone after all, right? Mass suicide is the best way to gain mass appeal so we figured we would try this method for a change..usually, we act like real martyrs and just re-enter the space but....uhhhh... it is all for the sake of art-stardom, right?

Photo by Great Escape. Most of us are dead at this point but you will notice Tran Spire (standing in the center with the turquoise hair) seems to be gaining weight from all this liquid gluttony. Oh wait, maybe it is the vodka that is keeping him alive and supersizing? He did die by the end of our performance, this much is guaranteed.

Photo by Great Escape. Here is a good shot of the bulk of us who have successfully opened Heaven's Gate to see yet another banal safe zone in a combat sim, sigh!

So much for the White Light! SIGH! Adios, performance art fans! Stay tuned for the up and coming "Zombie Attack: 29 Avatars Later" movie coming to your blog-theaters soon.

Inter-Access Summer Workshop Reflections...

Photo by Miulew Takahe.
True to form and within a matter of milliseconds, Second Front quickly transform what was meant to be a formal workshop series at Inter-Access Gallery in Toronto (Canada) into a surrealistic performance art arena...This workshop series took place on July 23rd, 2007.

NOTE: Ian Daffern from the Globe and Mail (Toronto) made a special video-report about this workshop series featuring Second Front. To watch it, click here.

"Second Front members recently participated in the summer workshop series held at the Inter-Access Digital Media Centre in Toronto (Canada) that had our avatar performers, Man Michinaga (Patrick Lichty) and Great Escape (Scott Kildall) making Real Life appearances at InterAccess and the rest of us, Tran Spire (Doug Jarvis), Liz Solo, AliseIborg Zhaoying (Penny Leong Browne) and Wirxli FlimFlam (Jeremy Owen Turner) giving workshops online that were projected into the gallery space itself..."

Photo by Miulew Takahe.

"... For the RL workshop event, Second Front banded together and performed 'Breaking News III' a text-based performance in which we stormed the Reuter's building in Second Life announcing 'Breaking News' headlines about Second Front's clandestine operations and notorious affiliations in-world.

The online workshops that were projected into the RL gallery space of InterAccess were held at Second Life's Columbia College which turned out to be a challenging space to present. With exception to Tran Spire's workshop, the Avatar's Way, the rest of us had to contend with technical issues that was largely due to an overloaded prim count (Columbia College is a sumptuous space with floating sculptures, murals and intricate architectural elements)..."

Photo by Miulew Takahe. After awhile, the workshop venue begins to look increasingly informal and constantly in a state of perpetualizing Fluxus.

"...Crashing, frozen avatars, major lag, and tools that produced crazy errors demanded a Second Front response to the unpredictable nature of the event. How did we respond? The only way we know how - by improvising our way through our workshops that produced some wonderful surprises and reactions from the participants. One can say that we didn't so much present our workshops, but performed them!"
- Foreward by AliseIborg Zhaoying a.k.a. Penny Leong Browne.

Here are our individual reflections about the workshops we gave:

Tran Spire - A self-help workshop for creative avatars

Photo by Miulew Takahe.Here is Tran Spire beginning his extremely "hands-on" self-help workshop/lecture/seminar...This was the very first workshop presentation of the day...

"There was a gallant turn-out for the first workshop of the evening Self help for avatars. Participants and friends were eager to unfold the onion skins of their virtual psyche's to unleash the self confidence and creative potential that each avatar relies upon for entertainment and self preservation. After the logistics of handing out a grab-bag of debaucherous goodies, we settled into the participatory program exercising the three guiding principles:

Intoxication - being an avatar can feel similar to being intoxicated all of the time, get used to it.

Fashion - the surface between the inside and outside world needs to work for you.

Responsibility - defer this to others, let them worry whether you are a consistent individual or not."

Photo by Miulew Takahe.For most of Tran Spire's workshop, avatars helped themselves (in true "self-help" fashion) to all sorts of goodies including fashion accessories and SL drugs.

[16:55] Tran Spire: This workshop will start as a hands on, activity based session where we will be playing with some objects and scripts. This will give each avatar a chance to exercise some of the more indulgent aspects of Second Life and self / avatar manipulation.
[16:56] Tran Spire: Section 1: Intoxication will involve some moving around
[16:56] Tran Spire: we are going to test the lagginess here in the auditorium
[16:57] BubbleGum Canning: thanks :D
[16:57] Tran Spire: In the folder that I have provided you will see an assortment of libations and other essentials for avatar delight
[16:57] Tran Spire: Personal Ban Zone, Placard/Black - Self help for avatars, Absolut vodka, Glass of Champagne, Giger Bar Red Wine, LOTS OF TEXTURES, Flight Feather, Self help Cape, Roller Skates, Absynthe, Bored Dance, Spread Eagle, Tran Spire Blue Doo
[16:58] Zabeth Lilliehook: like the buckyball seats
[16:58] Tran Spire: Please grab a drink from this file, this part is very important
[16:58] Absolut vodka whispers: thanks
[16:58] Tran Spire: I personally enjoy the Absolut Vocka, it has a nice kick every once in a while
[16:59] Absolut vodka whispers: thanks
[16:59] Borisz Nagy: freaky, d00dz
[16:59] Fau Ferdinand: champagne and popcorn , an unbeatable combination
[16:59] sake whispers: watch that third sip
[16:59] Tran Spire: You will also see some cigarettes please wear those as well
[17:00] BubbleGum Canning: but i dont smoke :(
[17:00] Tran Spire: the object of this portion of the workshop is to experience Intoxication and the general affect of being an avatar
[17:00] Tran Spire: Performance art can be easier than you think!
[17:01] Tran Spire: Please attach what ever you can and start moving around
[17:01] Tran Spire: the idea is to get used to being intoxicated as an avatar
[17:02] Tran Spire: For the more advanced participants in the workshop, you might try to make your operator feel noxious operating the computer
[17:03] Tran Spire: ok, first exercise
[17:03] Tran Spire: spin around for 2 minutes
[17:03] Tran Spire: on the spot

Photo by Miulew Takahe.Towards the end of Tran's seminar, it was not apparent if all the avatar-empowerment was positive and tranquil. One such avatar (pictured here) seemed to be reacting to the drugs and guns in a somewhat aggressive manner...It must have been the drugs because as you will find out soon enough, the drugs seemed to be affecting more than one person in a hostile and homocidal way..

"...Based on an initial post-workshop analysis, I believe the group reached some very powerful and important insights into the complex and dynamic composition of an avatar self. With workshop tools and constructive criticism in hand all participants will now have some defense against any future dark-days dealing with avatar identity issues..."

Photo by Miulew Takahe.Hmmm..Was it getting hot in here or was it just that the avatars had helped themselves too much to some of the more corrosive party favours for the positivity-challenged?

"...I would like to thank all of the avatars who attended and made this workshop a RL experience (list withheld due to client confidentiality agreement).

Liz Solo – Frontiers of the Virtual Playground

Photo by Miulew Takahe.Here is a close-up of Liz during her presentation of her music machinima video, "Amazing".

"Liz Solo's workshop demonstrated how even the most customized tools in Second Life, the most well thought out plans will need to be adapted on the spot due to the ever-evolving and untamed nature of SL environments..."

Photo by Miulew Takahe.An example of the kind of drunken and drugged residue that resulted from Tran Spire's Self-Help workshop...this was the sort of leftover that Liz had to deal with when she began her presentation.

"...Amid the chaos of avatars still drunk from Tran Spire's excellent workshop, with a giant horse head and other props floating through the space Liz showed workshop participants examples of the unexpected. She demonstrated some of the limitations/boundaries of the technology - from multiple crashes, to being de-winged upon re-entry to displaying her avatar stuck in an uncompromising pose that could not be rectified.

After several futile attempts at opening the program containing part of her presentation Liz Solo then chatted with participants about the possibilities for interaction and collaboration that exist in the SL metaverse, including the notion of creating idealized communities..."

Photo by Miulew Takahe.Another view of Liz's presentation which further illustrated the kind of "virtual playground" she was referring to for the duration of her workshop.

"...Finally she screened two pieces of machinima to show examples of how Second Life can be used as a creation tool -
a music video created in Second Life and an experimental clip super-imposing Second Life video over Real Life video. Liz's workshop exemplified how presentation in virtual space is challenging, exploratory and immediate - one is constantly responding to unruly, hilarious and sometimes frustrating elements while actively seeking ways to communicate."
– Personal reflection written from a 3rd person POV by Liz Solo.


Wirxli Flimflam – Wirxli Flimflam’s 15 Minutes of Fame:

Photo by Miulew Takahe. Here is a pic of Wirxli Flimflam sitting next to Fau Ferdinand. The snazzy shades conceal a Ava-Star that is completely drugged out of his/her mind and feeling the fleetingless fame of a genuine SLebrity...it was only when Wirxli finally had to deliver a presentation was there any sort of stirring and yes, stylish stumbling towards the podium...

"Well, even though I prepared a formal lecture for the Teacher’s Pet auto-lecturn, I must admit that the nature of this realtime event lured me towards a more performative and hands-on (the drugs) presentation....ooops! Thanks to all the laggy SL drugs I took earlier in the day to relieve my virtual nerves, I was stuck practically passed out in my chair next to Fau Ferdinand for most of the lecture and could barely walk by the time it was my turn to present.

If you really want to succeed as a SLebrity in SL, you really need to feel the fame coursing through your pixellated veins, if you know what I mean. Even during the assassination attempt on my life mid-way through the workshop series, I barely stirred – how cool is that?"

Photo by Miulew Takahe.Just before Wirxli's workshop is about to begin, gunshots ricochet throughout Columbia College's virtual campus. Wirxli ducks (well, nods off) for cover in the comfort of his/her seat while his/her personal bodyguard du jour attempts to locate the perpetrators of this assassination attempt. At the end of the day, it turns out that Wirxli's colleague in Second Front (Man Michinaga) and his/her trigger-happy best friend (Fau Ferdinand) were involved in some sort of routine performance-art shootout.

"...I was originally going to say before the captivated audience that I hired bodyguards solely for optics and to enhance my SLebrity mystique but when the gunfire started spraying, I realized that I actually needed the service..."

Photo by Miulew Takahe. Here is a close-up of Fau with her big gun...

Photo by Miulew Takahe. ...and here is a close-up of Man with his big gun.

"...In conclusion, I guess you could say that I “led by example” and illustrated in detail to the Inter-Access crew the virtues (and vices) about how important it was to live out a drugged-up SLebrity life-style...it was a good thing I wore shades as I became a real role-play role-model for the delayed and debauched ;-)"

AliseIborg Zhaoying - Collisions of Artifice and the Real:

"There were definite collisions in my workshop - collisions with technology - my Teachers Pet tool , problems rezzing, lag and crashing constantly causing my avatar to come to a stand still, literally. When my spot eventually came up, all I could do was improvise my lecture so I took to the lectern and delivered my topic in a series of 'Breaking News' sound bytes that resulted in a fragmented riff of theory and sensationalist news about Second Front's past interventions.

A further reprocessing of my original text came about through a Babel translator that make text appear in a thought bubble above my head.

Photo by Miulew Takahe. Here is a pic displaying Second Front's Tower of Babelfish example that being discussed in detail by AliseIborg Zhaoying in the final workshop presentation of the day.

We had used this tool in a previous performance, Tower of Babelfish, that interpreted what was entered in the chat window into a bizarre remix of semantics and morphology. Needless to say, theory and practice never looked more sublime to me! Also, I think there were definitely clashes of the 'Artifice' (critical theory and Second Front praxis posing as news) and the 'Real' (RL gallery turning off its lights!).

This juxtaposition between what was happening in RL and what was going on in-world, produced moments of ambiguity as to how our avatars should react and behave. I sensed that the avatars around me were definitely feeling slightly awkward, uncertain, even slightly dumbfounded at first - asking questions like 'What's going on here?' and some even adding to their own 'Breaking News'.

My workshop, in this way, turned out to be much more about performance, especially improvisation and ironically, created an actual situation in which social codes of conduct within Second Life were definitely challenged!"
– Text description by AliseIborg Zhaoying a.k.a. Penny Leong Browne.

Friends, prepare...

All we'll say.
Told you we were practicing...

Breaking News III at Inter-Access and Reuters - Chat Transcript...

Photo by Miulew Takahe. Here we are waiting outside the Reuters lobby for the rest of Second Front to show up. Not everyone in this pic is from Second Front... The couple sitting on the bench on the far right were both audience members and our photographers - Evo Szuyuan and Miulew Takahe. Unfortunately, Second Front members, Tea Chenille and Gazira Babeli could not make it due to RL difficulties.

Photo by Miulew Takahe. Here is another angle of some of us loitering at the bench outside Reuters... Tran Spire was lurking in the bushes somewhere while receiving very important and realtime newsfeeds about Second Front in Second Life.

Photo by Miulew Takahe. Miulew took a great pic of SF member Lizsolo Mathilde as she was getting ready to wear her Meg White costume a la the White Stripes.

Hey there performance art, Inter-Access gallery attendees, Torontonians, and breaking news junkies!

A few days ago, we mounted a special and exclusive repeat performance for those who attended part of our workshop series for Inter-Access Gallery in the RL city of Toronto.

You can look at our previous Breaking News performances by clicking here and here.

Stay tuned for pictures from the gallery-side documentation of this performance.

We decided to do yet another sequel of our very first performance "Breaking News" as a way to show the gallery audience the mechanics behind our performance strategies so in a sense, it was a sort of performance "demo".

We will have some more blog postings about this most recent performance soon but in the meantime, check out our totally raw and unedited (lots of typos) chat-transcript....This performance was very heavily text-based so through the process of reading all of our news headlines, you will get a sense as to what this performance series was all about...

Olga Wunderlich interviews Great Escape

After the infamous Pizza SLut performance, Olga Wunderlich (who joined us for that evening's festivities) interviewed Great Escape at his place in Stone Pike. She recently posted the condensed interview on her blog. Here, they discuss some of the lines between 'griefing' and performance, public and private space in SL and artistic practice in virtual worlds.

Dead Calm in the Summer

Hey, performance art fans...
Yes, you haven't heard much for a month or so from your pals at Second Front. We've been working hard on some big media projects (won't spoil the surprise), live appearances by Man Michinaga and Great Escape in Toronto, and perhaps even a live performance at the Second Life community conference in Chicago!

However, getting ready for all of this leaves avvies dead tired, as you can see. GE and I are practicing for an upcoming performance we'd love to have as many people join in with us as possible across as many sims as possible, and we're practicing here in Ian's hot tub...

What you think it's sone sort of Jonestown thing? No, no, no. We don't want to simulate sims of dead people, that's no fun. We'll let you in on it soon enough.

But for the meantime, here's a shot of Man and GE having a relaxing float in the pool.

Now, if we could only get them to float face up...

Virtually yours,
Man.

Pizza SLuts - Snapshots from Wirxli FlimFlam...

Here is Wirxli Flimflam with the owner of Pizzaria Sublimini, Abby Hynes. At first, we thought she worked at Pizza-Master in Switzerland (pictured here) but it turned out that she was doing the same thing we were: "re-delivery"...heh heh.

Hey performance art and pizzaria SLuts,

Just thought I would post my own Pizza SLut pix on the SF blog before the official SF Pizza SLut videos have been made public for your ravenous consumption.

Hopefully in the photo-captions below, I will give you some sense of what happened....


Here are a few of us ordering some SLices from the official Pizza-Master' menu for our re-delivery performance. We definitely did not approve of the high-prices (especially for the chicken wings which we did not bother buying) and the pizzas did not seem customized at all so I IM's Abby Hynes who was trolling around with us and asked if she could make a custom pizza that included fire...she replied that she had all the ingredients I asked for except for the fire itself...sigh! Well, that was no big deal as I am used to providing my own flames for the occasion :-)

Here is an aerial view of the Pizza-Master franchise. So, we had ordered a few pizzas and now we were thinking "who should we deliver these SLices to?" Well, we then went through our friends' list to see who was online. Yaaay, we found Rubaiyat Shatner from Ars Virtua online so he was our first lucky recipient!

...but first of all, I had to SLice Abby in gratitude for her customized pizza creation. It was Luv at first SLice indeed! Heheheheh..Also in this pic are my co-performers Man Michinaga and Tea Chenille. :-)

Ok ok, we are still SLacking off in the Pizza-Master outlet...sigh! When will get our act together? I guess we are no Hiros...heheheheh! Well, at least this pic contains a flattering angle of our primary deliverator (which is usually used for transporting more innovative bio-tech materials), the Strange Culture delivery van :-)

Well, here are re-delivering pizzas en masse to Rubaiyat Shatner. From left-right: Tran Spire (wearing his pizza box from CJ's Pizzaria), Gazira Babeli in her UPS van containing some of her singing pizzas, AliseIborg Zhaoying with her pizza-cape, Lizsolo Mathilde as the sexxxy and fae naughty-nurse SLut, Wirxli Flimflam (me) with his/her full-serve pizza toppings, Great Escape sitting on top of the Strange Culture van with his custom super-sized pizza SLice, Abby Hynes from Pizzaria Sublimini, Tea Chenille (with her SLiced head and plaid skirt), Rubaiyat Shatner (looking like he accidentally ordered too many pizzas), and Man Michinaga looking somewhat androgenous (more than usual). I am not sure who is in the UPS van above with the purple hair but I think that is Gaz's friend, Olga.

So, after Rubaiyat receieved his 1,000 pizzas as per his order, we then proceeded to deliver to the NMConnect curator, In Kenzo who invited us all into her kitchen (well, it was the Kraft Kitchens Cooking Institute) for a much more direct delivery...we delivered straight to her oven...heheheh... In Kenzo is pictured in the far right of the kitchen by the oven eating a rather large SLice.

...and here was the moment we made a delivery to the SLEnquirer and ended up at...well...at the Stock Exchange during the testy trading of shares...yikes! Well, this is the delivery that got us into some hot sauce, you can read all about it in this blog posting.

BONUS REHEARSAL PIX...

Here are three of us in a sandbox the day before painstakingly trying to undertake the usually simple task of loading pizzas into a van...Why does SL have to be less intuitive than RL? Why? Why? Why? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Here we are the night before getting ready to transport our toppings. The Aussie critic Dr. Lisa Dapto also managed to officially inspect our semi-covert operation...

...and here was the very first Pizza SLut related pic that I photographed...it depicts me trying to drive my UPS van...yeah, I am a SLacker, I know! Sigh!

Pizza SLuts - Snapshots from Great Escape...

Here we all are at Ian Ah's rehearsal lounge getting ready to order some pizzas from Pizza Master and Pizzaria Sublimini in order to re-deliver them.

Hey performance art fans and pizza SLuts,

Second Front co-member, Great Escape, just submitted some of his snapshots for inclusion in our blog.

Have a look at the other two pix that GE snapped on the group's behalf...

From left-right: SF's Strange Culture Delivery van, Great Escape, Man Michinaga (aka. La Cicciolina), Ti Mosienko and Wirxli Flimflam.

Here is Abby Hynes from the Pizzaria posing with Ti Mosienko.

Some Side Pizza Slut Fun

Man, um, I mean, Cicciolina, here!
Bongiorno!

Well, while we're compiling the video about our epic adventure, Gaz and I went to the beach. We surfed, played with pizza, went diving, and just about everything you'd expect in a game of DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball. However, SL doesn't have as robust of a physics engine yet ;)...

The result was a video called Intermezzo di Pazzo, which means Summer Fun! in Gibberish.




We have an installation based on it, and a
live video at Bitfactory Chindo...
If Wirx wants to Youtube, pop the link here, that'd be great.

Pizza SLuts Preview...

All of these tiny thumbnail images were submitted by Second Front co-performer AliseIborg Zhaoying as a taster of future blog SLices to come...









Here is a quick summary for you:

1) A few days ago, Second Front ordered some Pizzas from Pizza Master in Switzerland before buying some custom made pizzas from a pizzaria owner named Abby Hynes from Pizzaria Sublimini...

2)After making sure we also had some of Gazira Babeli's Singing Pizzas in our collective inventory, we loaded up the UPS, Fed Ex and SF's Strange Culture delivery vans and proceeded to make personal deliveries as a group to people on our friends'list.

3) After delivering to friends such as Rubaiyat Shatner at Ars Virtua and In Kenzo at NMConnect, we proceeded to make a delivery for a friend at the SL Enquirer which turned out to be a surprised delivery during a sensitive (and possibly shady) transaction at the Allenvest International Stock Exchange (AIVX)...whoops! I think we SLiced off more than we could chew with this delivery... Some of us just needed to get to the bottom of these tentative and tense toppings...

Do you want to see more pix and learn about the context in more detail?
If yes, then stay tuned.... In the meantime, check out this sneak preview video...

"Stock Market Meeting 'Smashed by Pizza Delivery" by Alesia Schumann - SLEnquirer. Photo courtesy of the SLEnquirer.

Hey performance art and pizza fans!

Last night we just finished our performance called Pizza SLuts...

It caused quite a stir and the citizens of Second Life are still feeling the repercussions of the whole performance event.

We are in the process of organizing our definitive archives from this saucy performance for this blog but in the meantime, we have preserved and re-posted for you the breaking news that appeared in today's SLEnquirer...

Here is the article in its entirety:


Stock Market Meeting "Smashed" by Pizza Delivery.
By Alesia Schumann...

Posted: Thursday May 24, 2007

Just one day after the Allenvest International Exchange launched and started tradings with a volume of 326 573 shares exchanged, its headquarters were smashed by pizza delivery during a business meeting.

While the people behind Allenvest were convincing potential investors and journalists that their stock market plans made sense on Wednesday night, a group of performing artists called Second Front, led by Wirxli Flimflam, "delivered" pizza on request.

The "O Sole Mio" pizza chant sung was quite a momemtum killer when considering that stocks and risks in the virtual environment were discussed between people who wore pretty suits, ties and skirts.

After this event-shattering delivery took place, a few people in attendance said they filed griefing reports, thinking that the pizza was nothing short of an attack.

The SL Enquirer found the person who actually ordered the pizza but who also asked to remain anonymous.

"It was harmless fun, I think, but people take it as griefing, told us this source. She [Wirxli Flimflam] instant messaged me and I told her to deliver [to two people in attendance] and tell them it was from their #1 fan. I thought it it was gonna be a little prim pizza or something."

Wirxli Flimflam confirmed this information. "We thought they ordered pizza and we were just doing our job. It is as simple as that. We thought we were delivering to their office. If people are ignorant enough to see us as griefers, what can we say?"

Ms. Flimflam basically invited the Allenvest International Exchange people to handle the issue with humor. "Maybe SL will only be an empty corporate space like real life but is that ideal or worth aspiring to? Look at SL's origins and where it is heading now. People are getting increasingly uptight in SL. People need to be more open minded."

Investor Allen, chairman and CEO of the Allenvest International Exchange, intervened as quickly as possible when the "pizza attack" took place. "I"ve banned all the members of their group, he told the SL Enquirer. Six out of the ten of them were here."

Interestingly enough, Mr. Allen gave us a version of the facts that differs from Wirxli Flimflam's. "Any griefer I spoke with thought it was pretty funny and didn't deny it as a griefing attack, so I am left not knowing what to think."

Was any damage caused by the pizza delivery? "No permanent damage, just a random annoyance, added Mr. Allen. Well, the loss of clientele, perhaps. We had 25 people here for an event of ours. Oh well, I don't see it as a big deal anymore. It is the past, back to business."

Chat History - Tower of Babelfish Performance

at the Eiffel Tower in NewParis.

Hello Performance Art fans! Tran Spire signing in.

Here is the chat history from our Tower of Babelfish performance the other night at the Eiffel Tower in New Paris. To accompany the bridal gear that I wore at the tower I contributed to the written text (IN BOLD) by translating an 1969 BBC radio interview by Harvey Matusow with Charlotte Moorman discussing her organization of the New York Avant Garde Arts Festival.

I was trying to show colour, but I realised at the private view that the public were prisoners of a preconceived point of view and that, confronted with all these surfaces of different colours, they responded far more to the inter-relationship of the different propositions, they reconstituted the elements of a decorative polychromy.

So be it.
[18:12] Wirxli Flimflam: Snow Crash goes into the theory of lethal texts in detail, defining them as "speech with magical force." Another character, the Librarian, explains that the Neo-Parisians developed what they called "freedom-fries", trans-fatty stick bundles which destroyed the ability of their hearers to understand language. These pommes frittes existed on a curiously dual level, analogous to the USE-MENTION dichotomy well known in molecular biology and information theory. They were stories of the the destruction of language which had the effect of destroying language. To hear the story—the freedom-fries—forced the listener to experience the effect it described.

[18:13] Tea Chenille: Through all these researches into an Art that would lead to immaterialisation, Werner Ruhnau and I came together in the architecture of the air. He was hindered by the last obstacle that even a Mies van der Rohe hadn't been able to overcome: the roof, the screen that separates us from the sky, from the blue sky. And I was hindered by the screen that the tangible blue on the canvas constitutes, which deprives man of a constant vision of the horizon.
[18:13] Wirxli Flimflam: In those it does not kill, the Neo-Parisian freedom-fries have an interesting effect. It makes them prone to glossolalia, or speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is a neurological phenomenon which is exploited by religion. Snow Crash further posits that glossolalia recovers a now-lost ur-language, the language which supposedly existed prior to Babel. In the world of Snow Crash, that language is NEo-Parisian, which is in fact the oldest written language, and has no known descendants.

[18:14] Wirxli Flimflam: When he logs on to the Metaverse, an imaginary place entered via computer, Wirxli encounters Second Front, a ``radical'' Theosophist and politically correct theorists. They warn He/She off Snow Crash (an Eiffel Tower named for traffic seduction) and gives her/him a file labeled Babel (as in Tower of Babel). Another friend, Chi5 Shenzhou, who ignores Second Front's warning, computer crashes out of Metaverse into the laggy real world, where she physically collapses. Wirxli, Second Front, Fwwixli Swindlehurst (a freewheeling, skateboard-riding foster daughter) and sundry other Burbclave and Odyssey Island figures see some action on the way to finding out who is behind this bizarre ``tower'' with ancient roots. Although Linden Labs (creators of SL) provides more Neo-Parisian culture than the story strictly needs (alternating intense activity with scholarship breaks), their imaginative juxtaposition of ancient and futuristic detail could make this a cult favorite.

On Friday, April 13th, Patrick Lichty (Man Michinaga) and Scott Kildall (Great Escape) along with Second Front opened for ‘Crossmediale 2’ an international new media event held at Chicago’s Gosia Koscielak Studio and Gallery. Both Second Life audiences and real world gallery visitors enjoyed a projected online performance that had Second Front avatars enact textual performances that were ‘communicated’ through the avatar spirits of four dead performers – Tristan Tzara, Ana Mendieta, Charlotte Moorman and Rudolf Schwarzkogler.

Online sources of Dadaist and Surrealist texts were entered by the avatar performers into the Altavista’s translator engine, Babel Fish, which were then processed through numerous times to produce often confused and ludicrous meanings. As part of the projection, Second Life’s chat history window showed the translated text next to one of the four dead performer’s names; the text also appeared in thought bubbles above the heads of the performing avatars depending on who entered the original text.

Sources of text included French Surrealist poetry of Andre Breton, Louis Aragon and Pablo Picasso and excerpts from Neal Stephenson’s highly-celebrated Science Fiction novel, Snow Crash, in which its characters delve into the origin of languages and the biblical Tower of Babel. Second Front avatars also improvised their own textual scripts that provided a responsive immediacy to the work that further produced the disconnections and ruptures between language and meaning.

This re-processing of text through a language translator generates a hybridism of natural human language and computer coded language which in turn, remind us how it is software, not we as human beings, that ultimately shape our online interpersonal experiences and communication.

A video performance of Translations/Tower of Babelfish will also show at the Bridge Art Fair in Chicago, April 27 – 30, 2007.

Hello performance art fans,

Finally! The video documentation from Second Front's Art's Birthday performance at the Western Front (Jan 17, 2007) is now online for your enjoyment! Despite dropped-frames and shaky Real Life (RL) camera-work, we have managed to preserve enough video footage that is worth taking the time to view.

This video was recorded with a handheld cam and was captured directly off the projection screen that was installed in Vancouver's Western Front. If you listen carefully to the audio on this video, you might hear the RL voices of Wirxli Flimflam (Jeremy O. Turner), AliseIborg Zhaoying (Penny Leong Browne) and Tea Chenille (Tanya Skuce).

With the exception of Alise who occasionally possessed Wirxli's avatar, the rest of Second Front was performing on-screen... Tran Spire (Doug Jarvis), Gazira Babeli (classified), Man Michinaga (Patrick Lichty), Lizsolo Mathilde (Liz Solo) and Great Escape (Scott Kildall).

Here is the review of our Martyr Sauce performance by Wrong Wright.

Getting ready for the Tower of Babelfish, Infiltrating Chi5's secret lair.

On April 7, Great Escape and I went to New Paris to think about the upcoming performance, Tower of babelfish. He had a translator to French, and it all snapped into place. English to French - Cocteau's Wedding on the Eiffel Tower, which is confusing enough, and going to New Paris to go confuse people.

We got there, but we only saw a few French types, and they were suitably confused. However, we met a reporter from Brazil named Chloe who was wonderful to talk to. We think she'll cover the performance. Actually, i think there may be as many press as performers. How weird.

But we're thinking about how confusing it is to have all these languages here in Second Life, how communication is so difficult when you speak the same language in the first place, and when you try to use universal translators, it can be surreal enough in itself. Maybe I'll dress up as a telegram or a gramophone. Hmmm.

Speaking of dressing up, I got a pic from Chi5 in a Jesus pose for Easter. Had totally forgot about it, but I'm not one for holidays unless they're obscure. Guy Fawkes' Day? Sure. Arbor Day? Righ on. July 4th? Um, well - you have me there. Easter? I never remember I even forgot Christmas once.

Oh well, i remembered Wirx telling me of a Chi5 warehouse high above Odyssey, so I went on a hunt in my "michinaga 'girl suit'". For some odd reason, I did not feel right infiltrating Chi5's demesne as the big firey guy.

Found it, as well as Sugar's car skunkworks. Hmmm.
I sneaked in through the secret passage, through the bowels of the industrial halls, and I wound up under the glass ceiling (amazing a woman would make one for herself, but that's bad) where Chi5 had her grungy lounge. And there you are. I sat there for a while watching the test pattern on the large screen tv, and watched the smoke rise from the ashtray while floating half a klick up. Really fitting, i think.

So, it's back to the hovel for the moment, but we'll be performing at Gosia Koscielak in Chicago on Bancroft street near North and Ashland in Chicago on Friday the 13th, 2007.

ooooo. sounds scary.

Not out of the gutter yet, but back in build mode

et used to Ian.
Hey everyone.
Man here. Just got back from New Orleans, and the Columbia Island is up!
So, that means that Ti Mosienko, Solstice Eriksen, Artemis Fate and I are hard at work on the Columbia College version of The Bitfactory and all the places on the island that will house the college's Manifest SL collegewide fest. Quite a project.

I really hope that Second Front will want to perform there, as we have a LOT of space to deal with.

However, my Admin self, Atari Writer, has not let me have a place yet. Therefore, despite the tux (found at a second hand noob store), I still remain with Ian on Odyssey in the squat. So it goes. Despite admin'ing a whole domain, I still am diving in the dumpster. Could be worse, I'm really starting to get used to Ian's drinking...

MARTYR SAUCE - Wirxli's Perspective...

Here is the best group shot I could capture while secretly fearing for my life and the lives of my performance art colleagues in the combat zone... Do not worry though, we were extremely brave and courageous in our efforts to promote world-peace...

VIDEO AND OTHER PERFORMANCE ARTISTS' PERSPECTIVES COMING SOON...

Hey performance art fans and conceptual art martyrs,

This is Wirxli Flimflam here and I just wanted to give you my personal perspective of what just happened a few hours ago...

Second Front has just finished performing our combat sim performance intervention in Second Life formally dubbed "Martyr Sauce". We have been scheming this performance behind the scenes for quite some time now (at least it seems this way when dealing with SL's sense of time).

Man Michinaga managed to record some video of the performance. I have not seen it yet but I am sure it will be online shortly once it has been edited. I wish I had some better pix of Man Michinaga and Tran Spire during the performance but I am sure they will blog their perspective soon enough.

I briefly summarized my personal perspective of the performance on my personal blog but I will summarize again...

Basically, 7 members of our group (unfortunately, Gazira Babeli could not attend due to her Italian time zone) went into the combat zones (yes, the places where you can be briefly annihiliated in Second Life) un-announced and with our peacenik gear in order to carry out our first official martyrdom operation. I spent most of my nine lives in the warzone trying to offer the warriors very potent and pacifying hits of SLSD (LSD in SL)...

If you browse through my hastily captured snapshots below, I think you will get a better idea of what we were up to...

Here I am with Tea Chenille (with zebra stripes) and directly in front of my protest sign, Alise Iborg Zhaoying (wearing butterfly wings)...I am glad to see that she has also brought her sheep with her for good luck! In fact, I think just about all members of Second Front ensured that they had at least one sheep (is "sheep" singular or plural?) with them to guide them through our noble and righteous martyrdom operation. We are truly the shepherds of innocence in this psychopathic world! ;-)

Here I am with Great Escape. He was the one that found the giant psychedelic flowers for us... yaaaaaaaay! :-D

On the left we can see yet another Second Front member, Lizsolo Mathilde. She provided us with the sheep. She had a whole flock of them which would explain why she appeared like Lil Bo Peep ;-) Oh, and in the center yours truly... The dude with the machete and the "Jason" mask was named Galactus and he changed his form several times to engage us. He seemed friendly enough - he only wanted to "slaughter the hippies" and nothing more ;-) I am glad to see he agreed to at least one hit of some SLSD (LSD in SL) before revving up his chainsaw ;-)

...actually before he got to the point of breaking out his chainsaw, Galactus liked to turn into a DoomDemon and cackle in this very nerve-shattering yet silky smooth deep voice... As a last resort, he tried to send us fleeing with his "sonic boom" which sounded to us like soothing ambient muzak....OM! When I first met him in the combat zone, one of his buddies politely asked us if we were "griefers"...heh heh...Us? Griefers? O, the irony! ;-) Fortunately, Great Escape managed to get Galactus into a very errr.... compromising position oving and was able to pacify him for a few seconds before Galactus managed to completely de-rez GE into a pile of gray-goo slag! I am not sure who the other person is in this pic but they are obviously also turning grayer by the minute!

I think I was able to capture the exact moment in this snapshot when Galactus managed to wrestle himself free from Great Escape's loving embrace...


...here is a better pic of Galactus as his satanic self...I think we had him sufficiently surrounded by the eternally throbbing ripples of unconditional love and peace!

...and here is a pic from our rehearsal earlier that evening at Ian Ah's refurbished and relocated screening lounge on Odyssey Island...

Peace,

Wirxli Flimflam

Man in the interim...

Man here again...
Hopefully there will be some larger SL things, but in the dead of winter, we seem to be busy.

Well, after the crash of the first BitFactory, I'm still suck on Odyssey, living in Ian Ah's squat under Wirx's very nice office.. Was able to salvage enough from the old museum, and sell off cheap to get a thousand meters in Chindo, but there's nowhere to live there, so I'm sort of stuck.



It's been OK - Ian hasn't been kicking as much at night, but we ran out of wOOt Loops, so I'm looking through the dumpster for the moment - usually pretty slim pickings. Has Wirx been getting the last goodies, and taking them up to the office?

Sugar just told me that she nominated me for Wirxli's running for SL Presidency. Whether that means SL candidate for the US presidency (probably better than most out there), or presidency of SL, I know one thing is for sure. I know I'll be in the center seat after Wir takes a cap in his prim from some nOOb , so I had better get ready.

I know that Columbia Island is going to be mine in the next couple weeks, and that there will be no less than three BitFactory locations, but I guess this is an avatar's trial by fire. Can the curator of a museum wait through homelessness until the new location is built? I guess I'll have to.

But for now, I just wish Ian would let me use the damned portapotty. He's been in there for hours. Or is it just locked. Damn.

After the crash - Man again...

You don't know this, but the Bitfactory is gone now, I saw the tensions in Han Loso rising. The 'Factory came down in a couple of days, and was the site of love and conflagration. I knew it was time to go, so I sold all the property, and now I'm staying in Ian's shack for the time being, a former grand curator in SL reduced to indigence.

But the wheel turns quickly in SL, and there are people who tell my that the glory of Second Front will pull me through these dark times. For tonight, I curl up on the flea-infested mat, grab a handful of wOOt lOOps and wait for morning.

Ian, stop kicking me. Ow.

The fact that Steve Kurtz is still in the legal system.

Hello, everyone.

Man here - I don't post much, but it has been a very eventful time in the last couple months.
First blog of many in a short time; you wrill hear from me in these compressed bursts.

First of all, you probably saw that Alise and I went tot he second screening of Hershmann's Strange Culture.

But that's not all.

Because Steve is still under prosecution by the US Federal system, it seemed appropriate to do something else.

Therefore, a couple days after, SF went back and made this comment with barricades and a BHS signet. Video also exists, and while we were doing so, the Standford staff may have been watching. We don't know. Nothing was said; we assume they approved of the intervention.

The fact that Steve Kurtz is still in the courts for 3 or more years is ridiculous when no criminal intent was present.

Please keep up with http://www.caedefensefund.org to support Steve's defense and keep up on the trial.

SECOND FRONT'S

SPAWN OF THE SURREAL


Second Front infected by Code Deforma! From left: Great Escape, Man Michinaga (with guitar), Wirxli Flimflam, Tran Spire, Alise Iborg; Far right: Tea Chenille trepidatiously looks on.

Dear Performance Art Fans,

On February 11th, 2007 Second Front performed Spawn of the Surreal at the NMConnect Campus (New Media Campus) as part of the Chaos festival program organized by In Kenzo. Spawn of the Surreal was a three-act performance with the first act comprising of a spectacle of avatar B-flick horror as members of our audience, unbeknownst to them at the time, mutated into Cubist-like configurations as they sat in the scripted staircase chairs that were part of our installation.

Second Front's Alise Iborg observes audience members deforming.

The idea of mutating avatars came to us when one of our members, Gazira Babeli, reported that one of her code scripts was behaving badly and deforming her avatars. Second Front took this as an opportunity to interrogate the idea of beauty and perfection in avatar beings since it seems that human simulation in Second Life and generally, in other virtual worlds (ie: multiplayer online games), there is a compulsion to create physically attractive avatars. What better way to interrogate this remediation of Classical idealism than to ‘infect’ fellow Second Life beings with our ‘bad’ code a.k.a. Code Deforma which produced elongated arms, inverted heads and contorted limbs!

Spawning is Wirxli Flimflam in pink, Alise Iborg in lab goggles and Tea Chenille with miniature head.


Enclosed within our "No Entry" border tape, from left: Alise Iborg, Tea Chenille, Wirxli Flimflam and Tran Spire.

The title of our performance came to us after much back and forth discussion and we finally settled on Spawn of the Surreal which we liked because it encapsulated the Fantastic of the B-horror film genre and the kind of Surrealistic operations of disturbance, disorientation and rupture that we were planning on releasing on our audience (at least one audience member fled in terror with his avatar still deformed)!

Infected by "Code Deforma", "spawned" audiences trample Second Front member, Tran Spire (the one in blue) as they flee the stage!

With the closing of the first act, I witnessed not only avatars fleeing the scene but also others requesting more deforming, or ‘Gazzing’ as one audience member put it (a fitting tribute to our coder, Gazira Babeli), Second Front performers joined in on the spectacle, performing a variety of shape-shifting animations.

I felt like I was participating in a morphing dance of sorts as our limbs and bodies were wrangled into bizarre forms.

Our morphing dance encompassing a frenzy of spastic movements, makes it almost impossible to know who is who! From left, Gazira Babeli in red, Alise Iborg, Tran Spire, Man Michinaga (with guitar) and Tea Chenille in far right corner.

Unexpectedly, part of our dance went aerial when myself and others were flown out of the space - a very disorientating experience indeed!

Flying "spawn" - Alise Iborg with unknown "spawn" at left, and in the background right, is Gazira Babeli.

The third and final act of Spawn of the Surreal involved Second Front members making a group sculpture out of barricades that we used at a previous performance entitled, ‘Border Patrol’ part of JC Fremont’s Imaging Place SL: The U.S./Mexico Border at Ars Virtua.

Beginning formations of our group sculpture.

The barricade sculpture at times, seemed to take on the forms of Cubist geometry and also made me think that our 'infected' avatars were conspicuously coded to create a totemic idol of worship to "Spawn" - I think, either way, a perfect tribute to our spectacle!

Please read on for recollections of Spawn of the Surreal by other Second Front members.

Virtually yours,
Alise Iborg a.k.a. Penny Leong Browne

Wirxli Flimflam's Recollections:

Hey there performance art fans,

Feb 11, 2007 marked an important date for Second Front. This was the first time that we let the audience become the performers for a change :-)

If we “performed” at all, it was all to lure the audience into sitting on Gazira’s scripted seats which would mutate their avatar’s appearance to become the “Spawn of the Surreal" which became also became the “spectacle of self-consciousness”...heh heh!

Many members of SF acted as ushers (complete with flashlights) and insisted that a performance event was going to occur. Since the theme of the sim for this event was “Chaos”, we figured that continually goading and frustrating the audience would simulate a potentially chaotic situation.

A personal highlight f
