"Black and white photography has a unique ability to capture the essence of a subject or scene in a way that is timeless and evocative. While color photography can be used to great effect to convey the vibrancy and emotion of a moment, black and white photography allows the viewer to focus on the image’s composition, form, and contrast. This interpretative role is what makes black-and-white photography so powerful and enduring." Read more on the blog.

"For the past five years,  GBTH has been an incredible project. I wholeheartedly embraced and invested all my time, money and energy in it. Understanding Second Life as a creative platform - and how we could push it to create content relevant to the talks happening in the physical world - was my main goal." Read more on the blog.

"The question of identity / pseudonymity has been linked to Second Life pretty much since the platform from the start; we have complete agency of how we represent ourselves and how much of ourselves we chose to reveal to the world. It is often said that this pseudonymity allows us to more fully express who we’d like to be.

But who are we, really? The person we are at home and among family is not the same as the person we are at work;, and that person is not the same as the person we are when with friends, and so on. Even within our family group, who we are with loved ones – husband / wife, children, parents – can change from moment to moment."

"We’re starting off 2022 and the conversation about the metaverse is making the world think about their virtual presentation more than ever. The collective thinking of our virtual selves is spreading to a bigger audience that is getting familiarised with the idea just now - as in Second Life, which exists for almost 20 years, we can safely say it has been going for awhile.

Launching our new exhibition space - the 2D Gallery W, we have Rob Danton, in Second Life for over 16 years and RL filmmaker for longer than that, with a series of personal portraits from ten residents on the grid, highlighting the similarities existing between their physical and virtual personas.

This subject is one of the most fascinating in the grid because of the human value applied to what we can call essentially blobs of pixels. It has been a common subject amongst academics, artists and whatnot. What is fascinating is seeing how it is approached, unravelled, unfolded, digested."

"There is a huge section of artistic minds in Second Life that love and admire art.
Art is in essence an expression of emotion and feelings and is not always easy to write down, but visiting an art exhibition helps artists to show the hidden essence and emotion, and art exhibitions give us a room to discuss, allowing inspirations to grow endlessly." Read more on the blog.

"Please, join us for my rebuilt photography exhibition in four galleries, “Embracing Nature” at Akikaze! Embracing nature is the main theme of my photos. I also like to observe the human body as avatar and the expression of their emotions. Art is human and human is nature!" Read more on the blog.

"I was first introduced to Nekonuko’s art around four years ago through a couple of exhibitions in 2017. I’m not sure if it is because she exhibits sparsely, or just that I’ve managed to somehow miss any exhibitions of her work between then and now, but I confess I was surprised that is has been so long since I’ve had the opportunity to write about her art, as it really is quite captivating."

"Etamae is in Second Life since January 2016. She’s from the UK and began transforming her pictures from the things she has seen and loved in Second Life into something else, in digital art in 2018. Etamae is not defined by just one style or area of art, she plays with different patterns and tries herself out in a broader spectrum of art. Like all other exhibition of Etamae “Fusion Evolution” at the DixMix Gallery is once again something new. Etamae proves her attitude to try out herself and to further develop her art."

"No stranger to the arts scene, TerraMerhyem presents a popular figure.   On first meeting her, one is immediately struck by her warm-hearted and loving nature.    Terra’s avatar is striking, hard to miss in a crowd: tall, willowy and adorned in wondrous costumes reflective of her love of mythology, and oh, of course, her self-confessed narcissism.  She also has a tremendous sense of humour as you’ll see from her responses to my questions."
