"Deyanira Yalin’s digital manipulations have always been striking. Often deceptively bright, they sometimes seem to conceal something deeper, darker. Her aptly named exhibit, “Portals” in Janus Gallery II tears open the veil between realities. Each piece feels like a glimpse into a different parallel dimension, or a dive into a world of fantasy made real." Read more on the blog.

"While my country is in lockdown and now also has a curfew till at least 9 february, it’s a good thing we are able to travel the world in Second Life.

"The appointment with the honorable Asbjörn Gothly-Raven was made on Facebook. There I met him and his partner Guen Gothly. Guen said to Asbjörn: 'should we share our "home" and our "baby?" I think we should!' And Asbjörn answered: 'We should, Zorphan doesn't get enough snacks...I mean visitors.'
Well, this promised to be an interesting visit, to say the least!" Read more on the blog.

"Mei Vohn’s photostream is a glorious travel journal of Second Life sims highlighted by a person who sees the beauty in a single detail. Her pictures are very impressionistic. They make me think of the phrase “see through a glass darkly” from First Corinthians. Her pictures give us impressions, we have to go there to see it for ourselves. I just wish she gave Second Life teleport links to the places she's visited." Read more on the blog.

"Well, it’s finally happened. I decided to get my ALT a body and well now she’s got a decent head and a decent body, I should probably let her move in.

"Cyberpunk fiction gained momentum in the early 1980s—William Gibson's influential debut novel Neuromancer, Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker, K.W. Jeter  and Katsuhiro Otomo's manga series Akira are some of the authors and novels most associated with the movement, who solidified cyberpunk as a subgenre. In addition, early films such as Blade Runner and The Matrix Trilogy further popularized this genre, reflecting a new perspective of a technology-induced realm of bizarre, hard-edged and high-tech subculture of hackers and rebels; thus the origin of the movement’s name – high tech (cyber) with counter-culture (punk)."

"There is just something about teddy bears that screams comfort, don’t you think? I think so. I still have, to this date, teddys given to me many, many years ago. And when I look at them, I reconnect with that feeling of joy, love, and the fact that for one brief moment, someone cared deep enough to give me something that would remain a part of my life for a very long time."

"January seems to be turning out to be my month of least inspiration. Or perhaps I’m just being ridiculously hard on myself. I haven’t quite figured out which it might be.

"WHAT IF I’M A PRINCESS ON ANOTHER PLANET? AND NO ONE ON THIS PLANET KNOWS IT? 

The above quote, from The Carrie Diaries by American author Candace Bushnell, is a musing on the part of the book’s protagonist, the young Carrie Bradshaw (the book is a prequel to Carrie’s later adventure in Sex and the City) as she endures high school in Cranberry, Connecticut and dreams of life in New York City and all she might become / escape once she has moved there to become an aspiring author, and left behind her provincial origins.

It is also a quote that Cica Ghost uses in her latest installation, which opened on Tuesday, January 26th, 2021 – and in using it, she offers perhaps the most perfect encapsulation of what Second Life can be to those of us invested in their digital world."
