Started my flying career again. It is just amazing sitting in the cockpit in VR. It is almost to real. Landing at ENBR I really hard side wind and in VR you can really feel the weather. SOoo Cool.
Finally some flying.
It is really hard these days to get some flying done but today I got up in the air again. Short flight but a lot of fun.
Visited a black and white exhibition in VR.
I am exploring art in virtual worlds and have been for some time now. Today it was Second life. I am doing some early work on new ways to work with in VR. I find it difficult but possible to do some art that could be both created and enjoyed thru my Oculus.
True VR art is still in its early stages but if its is there it have to be worked and understood.
Going nowhere in art and life.
I am on vacation so i do some WOW and a lot of thinking about what to do now and how. I am in a vacuum and all the artwork goes nowhere. The companys goes nowhere. Almost everything is standing still.
I play WOW and a lot of other games. Peeking in to Second life. Thinking and walking.
What is going to happen now?
I have a exhibition 2 Opensimfest.
Opensimfest is 1,2,3, March and i am working creating the pictures right now. I am doing some of the graphics in a VR 3D paint program with Leapmotion only using my hands. And of cours the rest on my Opensim grid. Trying out new stuff.
My work
My work is mostly experimental. I always want to know what happens if you put this thing on this one. Will there be some great art then?
I have worked forever trying to find what art is all about and new media and computers are one of my greatest friends. Hacking art and soceity to find the basic code behind it all. I use my knowledge of building hardware and writing software to do experiments in digital art and research our lifes and death.
The creation process is the same if you paint or use digital media. My work spans a lot of areas. Sometimes maybe they are to many. After art school i started out as a painter but i quickly got in to computers and the Internet. I still like to work with digital media. Exploring virtual worlds and create art for the web and games. Today i got the Oculus rift that makes it possible to bee in a alternate reality. I think art willl never be the same.
I do a lot of graphic design for digital media in gaming and virtual worlds. And i love the digital camera. I do not have to work in a smelly darkroom anymore if i do not want to. I do many purely digital pictures in software and as a photographer at the hypergrid. And i also have a gallery there where i can show of my work. It is all net, servers and streaming information.
The road is open.
The work continues.
