"Wherever you are in SL and whomever you are – your experience is highly individual – it is yours alone. No one experiences this environment precisely as you do, and, of course, the same can be said of our presence in the physical world. Our perception is uniquely ours and ours alone. So how does one communicate that experience, share that experience? How does one reach out and share a vision of how we see this world?" Read more on the blog.

"We, those of us involved in The SLEA Bridge Project, aspire to shorten that distance between YOU and an immersive arts experience in SL.

"Zia Branner’s art is mostly colourful. She paints abstract and fills the canvas with what just in her mind. She’s inspired by nature and landscapes and consequently her art often looks like landscapes or like flowers. Hence the boarders between abstract and real life paintings are blurring. And what is dominating lies in the eyes of the beholder." Read more on the blog.

"“Fulcrum” takes a turn for the unexpected by being horizontal rather than vertical. Most of the time, this irritates me, but not in this case. It works because really there is no reason we need to look at a dive from behind. I love the geometry in this picture, the balance of lines and angles." Read more on the blog.

"The virtual Hotel Chelsea can be looked at as a continuation of what had begun in a section of Manhattan many years ago. Painters, sculptors, writers, photographers and musicians began to gravitate to the area surrounding the hotel, and to the hotel itself. What the virtual Chelsea has done is a continuation of the traditions that formed there in the 50’s and 60’s. It is the intent of these writings to recognize and to celebrate these traditions and its artists." Read more on the blog.
