I'm An Island

Hi all,

Yes, we are back from the island ... :-)
I'd like to thank you once again for letting us 'have' the Black Box. I hope you found it back as clean
and tidy as it was when we came there, and that our visitors did not make too much of a mess ...
;-)
Apart from the curious 'raid' incident on thursday morning, there were no probs, and we
have been perfectly able to do what we had planned:
sit there, have people pass by, and stream the sounds we were playing in our Ameland studio.
I just put up a detailed description of our adventures on the island in the SoundBlog : "It is not easy to
be an island. There is water all around you" : read more

There is a low quality version of one of the 'pocketmovie clips' we made up at YouTube's : view

Hope we'll meet up again, soon!
Bingo, are you still posting AOM dates on the google calendar? I did not see any lately ...

all the best,

HarS

ookoi Digital Suite


ookoi
Dgital Suite - in Real and Second Life
----------------------------------------------------

As part of the 'Kunstmaand Ameland' ookoi will do a 'Digital Suite' in the Archipel Media Lab, Achterom bij Galerie Dit Eiland in Hollum, on the stormy island of Ameland (the Netherlands). The event will consist in two consecutive days of an 'open / walk in studio', during which ookoi will be there working on the soundtrack of their upcoming feature-length movie/clip, parts of which will be shot on the island (thursday 15/11, friday 16/11). On saturday evening 17/11 they will perform and host a 'Radio Raudio' event in and around the Medialab.
During their three day Digital Suite, ookoi can simultaneously be seen and heard in Second Life, in art.think.box's 'Black Box', in Netherbeck ... To teleport to the Black Box, use http://slurl.com/secondlife/Netherbeck/184/137/69 (you need to have Second Life installed for this) ...

art.think.box - virtual art forum of Pomodoro Bolzano

Since the media art group Pomodoro Bolzano started in 1994 there has almost been every media from analogue to digital involved, from seashells to avatar orchestra as metamedia, performance, simulation, manouver... in december 2006 art.think.box started as an experiment with Second Life as a new tool for the extension and focussing of art projects as mixed reality happenings and performative presentations.

To add to the 2-dimensional surface of the internet a 3-d virtual artist-run-space which is to be used actively in real-time by real people with their avatars.

Architecture not as static symbol or monument. Space as space for action, as metamorphosis of a stylized and idealized vision build to order and reverberating the spirit of the moment.

The Movement starts.
