Their work was unparalleled on the grid, and made waves in the art world that, even as they prepare to close their sim, resonate through the art world today. <br /><br />There are so many people whose lives they touched in one way or another. So many artists found inspiration in their 3D Art Challenge themes, and support in the encouragement of the community they created. <br /><br /><i>I, Chuck Clip, am one of them, and I am honored and humbled to have been granted the chance to organize this event. I’ll attempt to carry their extraordinarily heavy torch, to continue to support the arts in Second Life in their stead. <br /></i><br />Let us all come together this one last time to say thank you to the men and women of this great institution, to celebrate their achievements, their impact on our own achievements, and to mourn their departure.

<span class="markdowmcg733 SSBqA0O5vTLfa9GC1wxGQ" data-markjs="true">Congratulations</span>
to UWA Alumni Ivan Sun, on the public response to his latest work, the
Second Life machinima music video, "I wanna go to Marz", which is about the LOW
REZ male choir dealing with COVID19 lockdown.<br />
<br />
This video was retweeted by @SecondLife on 13/5/2020. Through other
channels, it has come to the attention of one-time Record Company (EMI,
Virgin, BMG) executive David Hunt, who will interview Ivan about this SL
work, on JOY 94.9FM on 15/5/2020 in the 'Friday
Drive' radio program.
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As an artist Ivan has exhibited works in San Diego, Bendigo and
Melbourne - most recently at the St Kilda Town Hall. In 2016, his work
on the Second Life Bauhaus Museum was nominated by Linden Labs as a
Destination highlight and as a special pick for International
Museum Week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An alumni of UWA (1994), Ivan confesses to spending many
hours reading many books (not in the syllabus) at the Reid library, and
dreaming with the peacocks at the English Department's courtyards.</div>

<br />
A few months back Jayjay asked if I had anything arty I could do with the UWA sim till the end of 2019.<br />
<br />
As it happened I have been doing a weekly art build & music event with DJ Verdant Homewood since the beginning of 2019 and we were looking to expand the build... so the <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Sunday Service @UWA</b></span> was born.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47991996593_56ab17c374_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47991996593_56ab17c374_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Each week on Sundays at 2am SLT (5pm Sunday Perth, 10am Sunday GMT) in the sky above University of Western Australia sim DJ Verdant begins a magical musical mystery tour within a set built fresh each week by quadrapop Lane.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48320675741_3864a23f36_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48320675741_3864a23f36_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
During the 3-4 hour event quad will manipulate the prims, lighting and other arty aspects while DJ Verdant handles the avatar movements and supplies the musical accompaniment. Suggested windlight sky presets are announced during the event and visitors are encouraged to try their own & share those they like.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47992021116_0a5894037d_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47992021116_0a5894037d_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
quad's sets are low lag, however, many effects utilise the Advanced Lighting Mode (AKA materials and projected lighting) so visitors will need to be able to cope with HIGH graphics settings with Advanced Lighting active and a draw of about 96m (assitance with finding and applying this is available upon request). Particles are used but are designed not to overload most systems. If you can run on ULTRA in SL generally then you will find the space well within your limits (though you may wish to pull in your draw distance to avoid rendering other platforms on the UWA sims). If you have any issues during the show please ask quad for assistance.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48142221932_56f4d49a24_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48142221932_56f4d49a24_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For those who are unable to attend this Aussie friendly time slot there are photos of each week uploaded to Flickr with tag <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/djverdant">DJVerdant</a> and the set is left up till at least the following Thursday.<br />

An Australia-France partnership between the founder of the University of Western Australia presence in Second Life and a multi-award winning French filmmaker living in India has seemingly broken through a barrier that has long separated the animated film and machinima film worlds, as their creation, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEZBkIDnPnc" target="_blank">'Metaphor',</a> about the various masks people wear has triumphed with a world first at the Eugene International Film Festival in Oregon, USA, taking out the title of Best Animated Short Film.<br />
<br />
It is believed that no other Second Life machinima has previously won the top prize in open competition against 'conventional' animated short films from across the spectrum. The victory made even sweeter by the quality of the other <a href="http://www.eugenefilmfest.org/2018-official-film-selections/?fbclid=IwAR3HVy3Q5MjucgZw2JKR_fht2FVPBLIqI_FBnEdJEzPSdvO8AMI1wEZszPI" target="_blank">Official Selections</a> that will be shown at Eugene, Oregon between the 9th - 11 of November 2018, which includes the much heralded <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ironyradheya/" target="_blank">iRony</a>, which has been selected for more than 260 international film festivals, winning more than 120 awards and shortlisted for 5 Academy Award Qualifying festivals.<br />

<br />
Film director Basile Vignes, speaking from Pondicherry, India where he is currently based shared, "I am very proud and honoured that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEZBkIDnPnc" target="_blank">'Metaphor' </a> won this award for best animation. This in competition with a selection of films each of which could have had the first prize. A big thank you to the jury who chose my film and congratulations for your excellent movie Festival."<br />
<br />
Producer, Jay Jay Jegathesan of the University of Western Australia paid tribute to Basile, "Over the years as Festival Director for numerous UWA machinima film challenges, Basile proved to be among the finest exponents of this genre, along with his chief animator, Tutsy Navarathna, and when the thought came to me to try and take second life machinima across the globe on the international film festival circuit, I could think of no one better to partner with on this endeavour. This is the very first win for<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEZBkIDnPnc" target="_blank"> Metaphor</a>, and I do hope that its not the last. I also look forward to the film's Australian premiere next month at the Perfect Light Film Festival in Broken Hill, New South Wales"<br />
<br />
<b>Metaphor Synopsis:</b><br />
<i>As with every story, every person has two faces. The one we choose to reveal, and the one we keep hidden from view.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The protagonist in this film, uses the avatar and handle 'Fallen God' when accessing social media and virtual worlds. In his virtual journeys, he comes across the mysterious, beautiful and enchanting 'Encre'. Will this encounter turn into a relationship touched by the spark of the infinite? This animated French-Australian film, based on true events that happened 2017 explores the many masks we wear along with the question of identity and relationships in the modern world in all its shapes and forms</i><br />

In the past 2 years Jay Jay Jegathesan of UWA has taken 2 films called Journey & iRony to a total of 7 Academy Award qualifying festivals in Tokyo, Bucharest, New York, California, Chicago, Seattle and St Louis. One step away from direct qualification for the Academy Awards long list for Animated Short Film.<br />
<br />
With the chapter of UWA's sims in Second Life seeming to be coming to a close on the 31st of December 2018, a new chapter begins as Jay Jay has teamed up with a fantastic director to take a second life short across the world on the international film circuit.<br />
<br />
The short animated film 'Metaphor' directed
by Basile Vignes and produced by Jay Jay describes how every person
has two faces, the one we choose to reveal, and the one we keep hidden
from view.<br />

<br />
The grand finale of the SLARTIST@UWA MACHINIMA CHALLENGE saw many farewells with hopes for a new beginning, with Glasz DeCuir's masterful creation, <a href="https://vimeo.com/249233312">'Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS)'</a> taking out the grand prize in what was the very last award ever presented in a UWA linked art or film challenge. Tribute was also paid to Alizarin Goldflake, one of the old masters of Second Life art, who fought a brave fight against illness before passing on surrounded by those she loved. Alizarin was one of the first artists who were part of the UWA events and her lovely creation 'The Maze' will remain <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/141/232/26">HERE </a>on the UWA sims for as long as it exists. The brilliant Frenchman in Pondicherry, India, Tutsy Navarathna, was stopped at the final hurdle on 2 fronts on the day, as his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMMmbpwlMrc">'Serendipity'</a> took 2nd overall as well as 2nd for the PookyMedia Prize behind Bryn Oh's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhIKEak5p3Q">Cerulean</a>. The Merlion Prize, sponsored by the Writers Centre Singapore and fronted by Singh Albatross and Kaylee West resulted in a 3 way tie, with Lampithaler's for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOb2XDFioOY">'Art and Transformation - A Dialogue at Intervals'</a>, Amelie Marcoud's for '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VLT4rPnVag">For Love and Art' </a>and Diana Rose <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fImRu5VW9g">'A Journey From the Past: Singapore' </a>sharing the honours. The UWA Special Prize also resulted in a 3-way tie, with Amelie once again scooping the honours, alongside Suzie Anderton's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-llbqYfZpk">'Never Say Never'</a> and Chic Aeon's <a href="https://www.slartist.com/slartistuwa-amalgamation-of-objects_bd7a7f678.html">'Amalgamation of Objects'</a>. Jay Jay announced that after 9 long years of helming art and film challenges, that this would be his last, drawing to a close the UWA chapter in leading art and film challenges in Second Life, with hopes, the baton will be taken up by others, in the same way he and UWA stepped in when some or the original luminaries of Second Life were pulling back. For all interested, a full detailing of the announcements on the night are as below following the award summary.<br />
<br />
<i>"Thanks a lot for this recognition, I am very proud, am very happy! UWA calls in Second Life pushed me to make Machinima, here I met filmmakers I have admired a lot, and people around arts who taught me, artists who get my attention and musicians, composers who inspired me. To all them Thanks. Maybe I will win other contest in future, but all I lived here is part of my life, and the SLartist@UWA Machinima Challenge will be in my heart forever."</i><br />

<br />
<b>FULL TEXT FROM AWARD CEREMONY:</b><br />
<br />
[JayJay Zifanwe] Greetings everyone, and welcome to the University of
Western Australia, or UWA as she is known, and also welcome to the winners
announcements for the Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge 2018. As is tradition at UWA, I would like to acknowledge
that the University is situated on Nyoongar land and that the Nyoongar people
remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of their land and continue to
uphold their values, languages, beliefs and knowledge.<br />
<br />
Pretty sad day for me personally, and for all art in Second Life as we just
learned that one of her finest exponents, Alizarin Goldflake has passed away
peacefully after fighting a long illness. I met Alizarin in 2009, and she was
one of the first artists at UWA. We have her artwork, ‘The Maze’ set up close
to the Hackett Buildings. The artwork was one of the first 3 works received
when UWA commenced their challenges. I received it when I was running the art
events myself. I didn’t know what to do or how to do it. Before quadrapop Lane
took over the art curation, before FreeWee Ling. Alizarin had to tell me not to
try and wear her artwork like a HUD. Rest in Peace Alizarin.<br />
<br />
The day is also sad as it brings to an end
the grand art and film challenges run by UWA, which started almost a
decade ago in 2009, with Alizarin and other pioneers, who included Soror Nishi
& Oberon Onmura. In the past there had been tough times and moments when it
looked we wouldn't make it this far, but we scrambled and pulled through, and
now when we bring things to a close, there is no better way than through
this challenge which would not exist if not for one of the unsung heroes
of Second Life, LaPiscean Liberty founder of SLARTIST & AviewTV. UWA
came into the art and film fold as some of the previous great champions, Bettina
Tizzy of Not Possible IRL, Lumiere Noir of the Ivory Tower of Prims and Jopsy
Pendragon of the Particle Laboratory were pulling back, and I think we started
a different chapter in the art and film history of virtual worlds.... likewise
as we disappear into the digital night, others will emerge and take the lead.
Whats pleasing though is that we're closing the circle on film and art
challenges at a time and place of our own choosing. Many of the award
presentation events were held at the UWA-BOSL Grand 4-SIM Amphitheatre created
by Patch Thibaud, but the very first Machinima awards ceremony we
held, was right here, where Cisko Vandevere of Germany walked away with
the grand prize! Anyway its not the end of the UWA Sims, which will be around
another year with FreeWee Ling perhaps running art activities.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, the ‘title sponsor’ for the event is LaPiscean Liberty, and what he started mushroomed as many things in SL that we have been involved with does and evolved into a wonderful partnership with many other groups and individuals including Singh Albatross and The Writers Centre, Singapore who gave us the wonderful ‘Merlion’ part of the challenge, language teacher, Kip Boan & Virtlantis a long term sponsor for UWA events, and Pooky Amsterdam, doyen of the machinima world with PookyMedia. The final sponsor of course is the UWA Virtual Worlds Project. Much thanks for this amazing prize pool of L$430,000. <br />
<br />
The theme of the SLartist@UWA Machinima Challenge was 'ART OF THE ARTISTS.' Collaborations and partnerships are something we have always wanted to encourage in SL. In fact, on the 24th of June 2010, I was asked to give an address at Second Life’s 7th birthday celebrations, and the title of my speech was “Unexpected Collaborations in Second Life” <a href="http://uwainsl.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/unexpected-collaborations-uwainsl-and.html">http://uwainsl.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/unexpected-collaborations-uwainsl-and.html</a> <br />
<br />
Anyway for this current event, we encouraged connections and collaborations between 3D artists and machinima makers. Any artworks that sat on the UWA Sims in Second Life at any point in time, going back to artworks created when the sims themselves were created in 2009, could be selected to feature in the machinimas. Filmmakers could choose individual artworks or a collection of artworks around which to weave a story, and machinima makers could work with the artists to film anywhere. It did not have to be shot on these grounds. Must acknowledge here Eliza Weirwight who created the artwork for the poster for this event. She has created the poster for events at UWA for as long as I remember and has always given us something truly special.<br />
<br />
Its been an absolute pleasure for me to work with all of you over the course of these challenges, and over the years, and especially to those who went above and beyond the call of duty to make all of this a success. Thank you for being here. I acknowledge one last time that the UWA Art, Architectural & Machinima Challenges, the teaching & research have seen people from all corners of the globe involved, with students, artists, builders, researchers and machinimatographers hailing from Turkey, Kuwait, Romania, Indonesia, Malaysia, Lithuania, Singapore, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Finland, Greece, India, Colombia, Poland, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, Taiwan, Hungary, Latvia, Russia, Venezuela, Belgium, Mexico, Wales, Canada, the USA, the UK, Uruguay, Scotland, England, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, France, the French Carribean, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Denmark, Holland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Cuba, Serbia, Tunisia, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and parts unknown. More than 50 nations with 6 of the 7 continents of the world represented. <br />
<br />
A special thanks goes to FreeWee Ling, curator of art at UWA and RL Honorary Fellow at UWA. I have already mentioned La Piscean, but this is probably my last chance to do so in public, so, just want to thank him again. He has been for so many years and still is, and we hope always will be a champion of machinima in Second Life. A lot of great things at UWA would not have been possible if not for this wonderful, reliable gentleman being there and with FreeWee Ling supporting everyone and everything across the sims. <br />
<br />
We’re very proud of a number of innovations pioneered by UWA. <br />
<br />
<b>Year Long Challenge with Monthly Awards</b><br />
That was my first foray into the SL art world. Announcing a year long challenge when I had no curator, no artspace, no knowledge of SL art. I was told by quite a few including Bettina Tizzy that there was no way we could sustain interest. That 1 month in SL was 1 year RL. But, I didn’t listen to that sage advice, and thankfully providence sent down the first of many angels who had assisted across the years in the form of quadrapop Lane, and that first year was an incredibly successful one managing to build an art community. <br />
<br />
<b>Art Receiver</b><br />
We constructed an art receiver in 2009 in time for the first art challenge when something similar didn’t really exist in SL. I knew what I wanted it to do and had help from a number of scripters to create it. This allowed anyone to ‘drop’ their artwork in the receiver as a way to submit rather than have to give it to another avatar.<br />
<br />
<b>Immediate Exhibition of Artwork and Machinima</b><br />
Most art exhibitions, the art is received and all collected and then set up and then when fully ready open to all. With us, we wanted anything that came in immediately displayed and highlighted on the blog, and this is what we did from the start both with artwork and machinima. Made it very tough for the curators across the years, but they managed magnificently in having to constantly change and adjust the gallery to accommodate the growing list of works for every challenge.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Audience Participation Prize</b><br />
We tried people’s choice awards, but found it put pressure on artists in an undue manner, and we wanted to find a way to make things different from a popularity contest, so for our awards, the audience had to ‘guess’ the top 10 as they thought the judges would decide, this way, anyone who wanted to take part would have to see all the artwork before providing an educated guess, with no pressure on them to ‘vote’ for friends and no pressure on artists to ask for favours.<br />
<br />
<b>Collaboration Art Challenge</b><br />
The 2nd year of the grand challenges was one which brought the many major art groups across SL together including Pirats, Uni of Texas San Antonio, SL Art, Odyssey, CARP, Nordan Art, BOSL, S&S Gallery of Fine Art, Tornado Gallery… where we provided L$5,000 each month in the names of 5 of these art groups, and some putting up their own prizes.<br />
<br />
<b>Judging Panel Construction</b><br />
Many challenges we had panels of between 20-30 people from all walks of life and all over the SL & RL world. We did this to reduce the influence of any single judge and not allow one or two individuals to have to big a say.<br />
<br />
And that brings us nicely to this next portion, prior to getting to the awards. Judging was done completely differently this time, and I do want to acknowledge the amazing judging panel we had. There were 4 distinct sets of judges here. The main judging panel, was led by the mother of SL machinima, Chantal Harvey!<br />
<br />
The panel was brought together by Chantal, who was the panel chair, with other judges being: <br />
<ul>
<li>Chantal Harvey - Judging Panel Chair</li>
<li>Harnake Hunspal - Freelance Producer and Director</li>
<li>Tess Baxter (SL: tizzy canucci) – Digital artist and PhD candidate in contemporary art at Lancaster University</li>
<li>Craig Harbison – CEO of Diamond gate Films, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Harb40">https://www.facebook.com/Harb40</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
The panel for the Merlion Prize, was jointly led by Singh Albatross and Kaylee West.<br />
<br />
The panel for the PookyMedia Prize, led by Pooky Amsterdam.<br />
<br />
The panel for the UWA Prize & Craft Prizes, was led by yours truly.<br />
<br />
The order of events for today: I will invite Chantal Harvey to say a few words about machinima in general, then we will start with the awards announcements. Just before the announcement of the top 5 overall, we will have the announcement of the winner of the PookyMedia Prize, followed by an invite to Kaylee West to speak on behalf of the Writers Centre Singapore, and to announce the winner of the Merlion Prize, and then we will have the announcements of the UWA Prize, and then followed by the overall top 5.<br />
<br />
CHANTAL, the floor is yours!<br />
<br />
[Chantal Harvey]: First of all I like to thank Harnake Hunspal, she helped out with judging. She is an rl filmmaker. I also want to honor Alizarin Goldflake and the father of machinima, Hugh Hancock, who passed away recently. And Jayjay, Lap, all my old friends of machinima in here, it was great to be involved in this contest. I saw so many good films. I wanted to let them win all, of them! Your efforts are so wonderful. Even if u dont win first price, be very proud! We should continue the efforts of jayjay. The next contest will carry his name. I promise! I dont want to keep you long, as you are eager to find out who wins this. The jury was divided, but in the end we agreed congratulations to you all.<br />
<br />
[JayJay] OK, now to the awards. A number of special Craft awards will be presented, before moving on to the top 5. When the winners are announced, it will be done in 1 minute intervals. We do invite everyone to comment and congratulate the winners and for the winners to respond before the next announcement.<br />

<br />
Now on to the UWA Special Prize, which originally carried a L$50,000 sum, however due to a number of reasons which will become apparent very soon, this amount had to be increased to L$51,000. Now many people who attended UWA events in the past will notice something curious. Up to now, 9 awards have been presented, and there have been no ties at all. Very unusual. Well, fret no more as we have now a 3-way tie for the UWA Special Prize, so each will receive L$17,000.<br />
<br />
These are all beautiful works that touch the heart.<br />
<br />
The first joint-winner of the UWA Special Prize L$17,000) is:<br />

Featuring artworks by Krystali Rabeni, Elle Thorkveld, Rebecca Bashly, Nish Mip, and Mistero Hifeng. One of the judges said of this work, “Well-made short rounded story. Good detail. Creative sequences. Voice fits the main character, and is delivered well.”<br />
<br />
Next the joint-winner of the UWA Special Prize L$17,000) is:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-llbqYfZpk" target="_blank">Never Say Never” by SUZIE ANDERTON of Inworld Films</a><br />
This machinima pays special tribute to an artwork which won one of the UWA Grand Challenges, created by Australian artist Sharni Azalee. One of the judges said, “This is a creative film with good detail, and script. Well made. Fantasy vs Reality. Very cinematic. Excellent transitions and fit between audio and visual. The idea is a classic, and the dreamlike filming works well.”<br />
<br />
Rounding out the 3-way tie, the joint-winner of the UWA Special Prize L$17,000) is:<br />
<a href="https://www.slartist.com/slartistuwa-amalgamation-of-objects_bd7a7f678.html" target="_blank">“The Amalgamation of Objects” by CHIC AEON of Corvallis, Oregon, USA</a><br />

<br />

<br />
[Pooky Amsterdam]: Film making is about that intimate magic which
happens when your film meets my eyes and ears- about how we are moved
emotionally and thoughtfully by the materials and elements of film which have
been created, and here tfor this challenge. The films were wonderful to watch
and I looked for meaning and beauty, which were provided, inspired by the great
art from many great artists at the UWA sims.<br />
<br />
There is someone for whom rendering all aspects
of film, from potatoes to protagonists is not just second nature, but first,
third and fourth. Their touching film film this year gave me chills, tears and
cheers, I would like to announce what has to be called The Bryn Oh Award and
this years recipient for $25,000L is Bryn Oh! for Cerulean featuring the

Prims in Water".<br />
<br />
For 2nd Place 15,000L is the film which gave me
a beautiful overview of the works while showing is an artist who made a
wonderful piece that delivered everything pacing, visual pow, quotes to live by
and a great deal of personal drive, . A great Artist indeed --Tutsy Navarantha
for "Serendipity".
<br />
3rd Place for 5,000 is a lovely romantic piece
using real life footage and greyscale very well -Suzie Anderton (Inworld

Thank you to LaPisceanLiberty who is a driving
force in all Machinima in Second Life and should very well get the recognition
and rewards he deserves in being such a great power and believer in our art
form. The world is still catching up with you Everyone a huge round of applause
for Lap!
<br />
Thank you JayJay for everything you do and have
done and will do, we would all be poorer in artistic ambition and realization
without you! Yay JayJay Goodnight, good day and good morning!”<br />
<br />
[JayJay]: And now, we have “The Merlion” Special
Prize of L$50,000 which was kindly sponsored by Singh Albatross and The Writers
Centre Singapore. Representing the Writers Centre <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Singapore, we have a wonderful Australian
academic, Kaylee West, who will say a few words and announce the winners as
well as hand over the winners cheques. Take it away Kaylee.<br />
<br />
KAYLEE WEST (FOR THE WRITERS CENTRE, SINGAPORE)<br />
[Kaylee West]: My name is Kaylee West. I am a lecturer in the
Chinese Studies program at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. On behalf
of the Director of the Writers Centre, Singapore, my esteemed colleague Dr Sing
Albatross and myself I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jay Jay,
FreeWee and the other people associated with the creation and running of the
Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge for the opportunity to take part in this truly
inspiring event. I would also like to express my admiration for all of the
entrants in the competition for the incredible talent and creativity they have
demonstrated through their entries.<br />
<br />
The Merlion Portal here in Second Life is a multi-dimensional art and
literature gallery focusing on unpacking the national myth making of
Singapore's most iconic symbol, the Merlion, and the poem it inspired called
"Ulysses by the Merlion" by the island nation's elder statesman poet
Professor Edwin Thumboo. It is also the starting point for an epic journey of
literary and cultural exploration envisaged by Singh and myself that hopes, in
the form of machinima and live performance, to traverse the historic,
geographic, literary, cultural, and ethnic length and breadth of the nautical
Silk Road from the South-East Asia spice trade era and the New Silk Road in the
modern era. From Singapore, through South-East Asia, Indo-China, China, Central
Asia and on to Europe, this journey is an opportunity to forge closer ties
between Western and Eastern cultures. We believe SL is a perfect place to
imagine how this might take place. To this effect, in addition to the Merlion
Portal, we held our first live performance in 2017 entitled
"Caravanserai". Later this year we will be offering a 2nd Merlion
Prize as part of the Lit Up Asia Pacific Spoken Word Festival being held in RL
in Singapore and in SL from October 12 - 14. We warmly welcome ongoing
collaboration and look forward to exhibiting your works during the festival. If

about the Merlion Portal.<br />
<br />
It is with great delight that I would now like to announce the winners of the
Merlion Prize. Given the caliber of the entries this was a tough decision for
Singh and I. Indeed, we ultimately decided on three winners. In no particular
order, the three winners of the Merlion Prize are:<br />
<ul>
<li>Lampithaler for "Art and Transformation - a dialogue at intervals"</li>
<li>Amelie Marcoud for "For Love and Art"</li>
<li>Diana Rose for "A Journey From the Past: Singapore"</li>
</ul>
We would like to invite the winners to come up on stage to receive their prize
of L$16,666 each from Dr Albatross.<br />
<br />
Please show your appreciation for our winners.<br />
<br />
[JayJay]: Now heading for the finale, we move to the
top 5 as we head to the grand finale as selected by the main panel led by
Chantal Harvey.<br />
<br />
So now in 5<sup>th</sup> place overall for
the Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge, taking home L$20,000 is:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhIKEak5p3Q" target="_blank">“Cerulean” by Bryn Oh of Canada</a><br />
This machinima centres around one of Bryn’s
own creations and one of the panel commented, “The dreamlike quality of the
work is very successful. The mise-en-scene is visually appealing. The film has the right duration. I think the music track works well with the
concept. Bryn‘s virtual art and
machinima are stunning together. The graphics and the pace of the film, the
sound effects and the music, it is a perfect match. I really like this film, it
is beautifully made, and has a sweet narrative - I even like the title”.<br />
<br />
4<sup>th</sup> place overall for the
Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge, taking home L$30,000 is:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=042sdxgvBIU" target="_blank">
“Before the World was Made” by ISABELLECHEREN of the UK</a><br />
This film featured the
work of artists Noke Yuitza, Otcoc Resident & Phillysmaybe Resident, Peli
Dieterle, Igor Ballyhoo, and Rosie Dimanovic. One of the panel offered, “The concept of this film is very good; it is beautifully made, very
artistic and creative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The section in
the middle almost feels like it belongs to a different film, and I appreciate
it as a separate entity. I like the delivery of the poem, it is easy to follow.
There is a dream-like feel to this film, very soothing.<br />
<br />
3<sup>rd</sup> place overall for the
Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge, taking home L$40,000 is:<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikl7lnCOP1k" target="_blank">
”The River of Forgetting” by NATASCHA RANDT and KARIMA HOISAN of Gelsenkirchen,Germany
and San Isidro del General, Costa Rica</a><br />
This sumptuous creation, features the work
of artist Silas Merlin, where they worked together with him, or rather received his
permission in tweaking the
artwork to suit the needs of the film. A panel member commented, “Well made, good detail.
Script follows the imagery. Some sequences have amazing artistic skill. The
wonderful edit certainly plays a big part in the success of this film. The
story takes you by the hand. I like the way this film takes one artwork as a
concept, instead of showcasing it.”<br />
<br />
And then there were 2…<br />
<br />
2<sup>nd</sup> place
overall for the Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge, taking home L$50,000 is:
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMMmbpwlMrc" target="_blank">“Serendipity”
by TUTSYNAVARATHNA of Pondicherry, India</a><br />
"Serendipity" featured art
by Misprint Thursday, Giovanna Cerise, Holala Alter, FreeWee Ling, Igor
Ballyhoo, Alpha Auer, Myra Windmist, Rebeca Bashly, Nish Mip, Frankx Lefavre,
Jipe Loon, Jo Ellsemere, Rosie Dimanovic, Miso Susanowa, Thierry Lowtide,
Hankvoight Resident, Jade Yu Fhang, Mistero Hifeng, Pumpkin Tripsa, Anley
Piers, Claudia222 Jewel, Cherry Manga, Elie Maurice, Romy Nayar, Livio
Korobase, Theda Tammas, Kristali Rabeni. A judge commented, “Here is a
creative setting for an assembly of works. The film is
artistic, with beautiful imagery and quotes to create a uniform structure and
theme. Good and appropriate music track. This film shows a lot of the virtual
art presented at UWA, and honors it rightly. I
like the narrative, the film has you captured from start to finish.”<br />
<br />
And so it is, one of the
greatest champions at UWA falls just short twice in a row at the final hurdle.
Tutsy's record is unparalleled! Tutsy has
featured in every single UWA film challenge except the very first one, and has
been in the top 3 every single time, with only Laurina Hawks, Bradley
Dorchester, Vilvi Rae and Kobuk Farshore having ever finished ahead of him. We
add one more name to that list today.<br />
<br />
In MachinimUWA II: Art of the Artists, Tutsy took 3rd with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr1JGXuXs_U&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">'An Artform is Born'</a><br />
<br />
In MachinimUWA III: Journeys, Tutsy was Joint 1st along with Eric Boccara with
his groundbreaking work, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw5md8RpfWs" target="_blank">'Journey into the Metaverse'</a><br />
<br />
In MachinimUWA IV: Art of the Artists, Tutsy was 1st with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4XY49gdzc" target="_blank">'Welcome to the OtherSide'</a><br />
<br />
In MachinimUWA V: Seek Wisdom, Tutsy was 1st again, with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSB4NnmyG0" target="_blank">'The Last Syllable ofRecorded Time'</a><br />
<br />
In MachinimUWA VI: Reflections, Tutsy was 2nd with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSB4NnmyG0" target="_blank">'Narcissus'</a><br />
<br />
And in MachinimUWA VII: Transcending Borders, Tutsy roared back to 1st with a
dominating performance with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zby0oM5xqaE" target="_blank">'MetaPhore'</a><br />
<br />
MachinimUWA VIII Pursue
Impossible, Tutsy’s<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgH3DrUCuBs" target="_blank"> Death of Death</a> was pipped by Kobuk Farshore of Alaska, by 1 point.<br />
<br />
4 time winner of the MachinimUWA challenges. Thank you Tutsy Navarathna!<br />
<br />
<br />
Before announcing the winner, I would like to acknowledge ALL the grand
champions of past UWA Challenges. For 3D art, they include Nish Mip, Misprint
Thursday, Lollito Larkham, Glyph Graves, Alpha Auerand Sharni Azalee. For
machinima they include Cisko Vandeverre, Bradley Dorchester, Tutsy Navarathna,
Eric Boccara, Laurina Hawks, Vilvi Rae and Kobuk Farshore. Now we add one final
name to this illustrious list going back to 2009, as the digital light flickers
off on the chapter that heralded the grand challenges at UWA.<br />
<br />
The WINNER of the Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge: Art of the Artists, taking home
L$75,000 is:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://vimeo.com/249233312" target="_blank">"Adaptive ResonanceTheory (ART) and Intrusion Detection System(IDS)" by GLASZ DECUIR</a><br />
This creation featured
the art of Isadora Alaya (otcoc Resident) and Emma (phillysmaybe Resident),
Nish Mip, Rose Borchovski,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> FreeWee Ling,
Bryn Oh, Yooma Mayo, Betty Tureaud, Holala Alter, Silas Merlin, Cica Ghost,
Bryn Oh, SaveMe Oh, Blue Tsuki, Cherry Manga, Shenn Coleman, Krystali Rabeni.
The Chief judge commented, "I really like this piece, it is well planned,
artistic and creative. Good work. The theme of the ‘head’ links the film
throughout. I also really like the
closing sequence, it’s different to the rest of the film but it works really
well as a resolution. The music track suits the concept. The edit is
outstanding and fits the music, there is a story told. This film works beyond
the Second Life environment and honors the artworks. Excellent use of
pastiche/collage.Visuals and music worked together well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Glasz advised me that
for the future instead of doing ‘Art of the Artists’, we should do ‘Machinima
of the Machinimists’, with focus on machinima. That’s a great idea actually and
perhaps one formulation of this idea could be such that artists create an
artwork as a response to a machinima. All that I leave to the next generation,
who will step in as the curtains come down here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">It has been an honour
for me, the accidental art and film caretaker over the years to work with so
many of you and have the privilege of viewing your art and film. The
relationships built here have crossed over to RL as well, as I have met a
number of artists and filmmakers from SL in RL, with FreeWee Ling spending a
few months at UWA on an Australia-US Fellowship as well. The people of SL have
helped my older son win a number of Peoples Choice events, as sometime over the
past 2 years he suddenly became quite a successful filmmaker being selected for
4 Academy Award qualifying festivals, and when I travel to Denmark this July
with my younger son for the World Triathlon Championships, another SL artist
has offered to put us up for a while and show us around. Life has been
definitely richer because of my involvement with SL, and I hope the friendships
created will last well beyond the middle of 2019, when the digital night is
likely to set on the UWA sims themselves. Thank you one and all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Thank you again
LaPiscean Liberty. I hand the floor to you to end the Grand Finale by saying a
few words, after which the winner will play.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">I am glad that my final official act in Second Life is giving the floor, to the amazing Lapiscean Liberty.</span>Jegathevahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512140286035497643noreply@blogger.com80tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923407679865635099.post-69606365065832206202018-03-21T14:13:00.000+08:002018-03-21T10:41:28.291+08:00Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge - Awards Ceremony 6AM SLT 25 March 2018<br />

<br />
Winners of the Slartist@UWA Machinima Challenge will be announced on <b>Sunday 25 March 2018 at 6:00 AM SLT</b> in front of historic <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/103/227/24" target="_blank">Winthrop Hall</a> in the UWA virtual campus in Second Life. Everyone is invited to attend. [<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/103/227/24" target="_blank">SLURL</a>]<br />
<br />
The challenge is sponsored by <a href="https://slartist.com/">LaPiscean Liberty & Slartist</a>, Singh Albatros and <a href="http://www.thewriterscentre.org/about-us.html">The Writers Centre, Singapore</a>. as well as VIRTLANTIS and PookyMedia This is not a continuation of the MachinimUWA series, which ended in Dec 2015, but is a special event that has a life primarily thanks to LaPiscean Liberty, who wants to nourish the dynamic partnership between artists and filmmakers.<br />
<br />
The theme of the SLartist@UWA Machinima Challenge (L$430,000 prize pool) was 'ART OF THE ARTISTS.' We encouraged connections and collaborations between 3D artists and machinima makers. Any artworks that sit on the UWA Sims in Second Life, including artworks created when the sims themselves were created in 2009, could be selected to feature in the machinimas. Filmmakers could choose individual artworks or a collection of artworks around which to weave a story. The artwork(s) needed to be a relatively significant part of the story, and not merely something glimpsed in passing. Complete entry details and TP links can be found in the call for entries <a href="http://uwainsl.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/art-of-artists-slartistuwa-machinima.html">HERE</a><br />

<b>The theme of the SLartist@UWA Machinima Challenge (L$350,000 prize pool)</b>
is 'ART OF THE ARTISTS.' We are trying to encourage connections and
collaborations between 3D artists and machinima makers. Any artworks
that sit on the UWA Sims in Second Life, and these include
artworks created when the sims themselves were created in 2009 can be
selected to feature in your machinima. You may choose individual
artworks OR a collection of artworks around which to weave a story. The
artwork(s) need to be a relatively significant part of the story, and
not merely something glimpsed in passing. More details and TP links can

<b>DATES:</b> Submissions open through 31st December 2017<br />
<br />
Entries will be displayed on the <a href="http://uwainsl.blogspot.com/">University of Western Australia (UWA) Second Life blog</a> and the <a href="https://slartist.com/">Slartist website</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>THEME:</b> Create a film with a work of art!<br />
<br />
<b>SUBJECT MATTER:</b> Any artworks that sit on the UWA Sims in Second Life, and these include artworks created when the sims themselves were created in 2009 can be selected to feature in your machinima. You may choose individual artworks OR a collection of artworks around which to weave a story. The artwork(s) need to be a relatively significant part of the story, and not merely something glimpsed in passing.<br />
<br />
An additional award is being sponsored by The Writers Centre, Singapore for any machinima that includes '<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/231/112/25" target="_blank">The Merlion</a>' sculpture.<br />
<br />
<b>LOCATION OF SUBJECT MATTER</b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i><span style="color: red;">(YOU CAN HOWEVER SELECT ANYTHING ANYWHERE ON THE SIMS):</span></i></b></span><br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA/64/133/248">UWA MAIN GALLERY</a></b> - This is where our main current art exhibitions are. Our most recent show, "Transformations," is expected to remain up at least through the end of this year.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/243/97/25" target="_blank">THE MERLION</a></b>
- This is a special installation that replicates a large iconic
sculpture in Singapore. There is a small copy on UWA's sims that gives
information and a landmark to the full size installation on the Monash
University sims. There is information there about the Merlion Portal
Project concerning cultural, literary and artistic significance of the
Merlion. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA/134/88/1202" target="_blank">UWA Archive Gallery (Upper Level)</a></b> - Selections from the past 8 years of UWA art shows.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA/115/128/952" target="_blank">UWA Archive Gallery (Lower Level)</a></b><br />
<b><b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA/115/128/952" target="_blank">UWA Archive Gallery (Annex)</a></b></b> - A few special installations<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/120/231/24">UWA MAIN SIM</a></b> - Home of the iconic Winthrop Hall clock tower, Somerville outdoor cinema, the Moreton Bay Figs, and Sunken Garden. Some art works from the closing sims will be moving to platforms above.<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE:</b> The artwork may be filmed in its current location, but it is not a must to
film it there, so long at the focus of the machinima is centered around
the artworks. You may communicate with the artists to film their works in other locations, and work with them on the film. Please contact FreeWee Ling or Jayjay Zifanwe if you need to be able to rez blue screen, etc., as part
of your filming process.<br />
<br />
*As of today 4 sims form the UWA cluster, namely UWA, University of WA, UWA Winthrop & WASP Land. Only the first 2 sims have a guaranteed lifespan for the next 2 years, the other two could disappear anytime as there is only funding to support 2 of the sims. Filming artwork on the sims that may disappear would be a great service to the art!<br />
<br />
<b>THE CHALLENGE</b><br />
Create a machinima that features some (or one) of the artworks sitting on the UWA Sims in SL. You can choose to film as many (or as
few) as you like, and you may submit any number of entries. The absolute maximum time limit is 8 minutes (longer films will be accepted but will not be considered for the challenge).<br />

You have by now heard that the UWA sims in Second Life have given a reprieve yet again. In short, we have gotten an extension for another two years for two of our remaining four sims. There are great blog posts about the recent developments by:<br />

The large 3D Art & Machinima
Challenges are basically over. We may have occasional changing exhibits
in the UWA gallery, but the current show ("Transformations") will
probably stay up for the rest of this year at least. This is in part
because we have been offered funding from an outside source for a
machinima challenge that will focus on the art on the UWA sims.<br />
<h4>
Our Sims: What's Staying</h4>
The "main" sim (called "University of WA") contains the iconic campus builds including Winthrop Hall with the clock tower, the Somerville outdoor cinema, the Moreton Bay fig trees, and the Sunken Gardens. It will be one of the sims to remain.<br />
<br />
Also staying is the adjacent "UWA" sim that includes our art gallery in the sky (home of the changing exhibitions for the last 8 years), and several ground level installations, including the large Anatomy, Physiology, and Human Anatomy building that is used for teaching by Prof. Stuart Bunt.<br />
<br />
Because of the recent increases in sim capacity to 20K prims and some judicious editing of certain objects, we are actually in pretty good shape to move a good number of our archival "permanent" collection of art from the Winthrop sim to UWA sim. Some items cannot be moved due to ownership constraints or other practical reasons, but most of the better known pieces should be preserved (at least for the next 2 years). JayJay and I will be working to move what we can this month.<br />
<h4>
What's Going Away: </h4>
A lot of the familiar installations on the Winthrop and WASP sims are going to disappear.<br />
<br />
Winthrop sim has a number of things that will likely be lost. Notably the large forest of trees and figures by soror Nishi (we will be saving a couple of smaller pieces soror submitted to our art challenges),<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bUV1UCEEk4s/WVsFfZbWq2I/AAAAAAAAr4E/8hhKnOh20zkPcUdTh0OxceGdYrKANq4jACLcBGAs/s1600/20170703_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1063" data-original-width="1600" height="424" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bUV1UCEEk4s/WVsFfZbWq2I/AAAAAAAAr4E/8hhKnOh20zkPcUdTh0OxceGdYrKANq4jACLcBGAs/s640/20170703_005.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
as well and a bunch of Glyph Graves's organic plants and creatures and his huge sky installation called "Strangers Also Dance." (You really owe it to yourself to see this. There is a rather <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA%20Winthrop/187/48/22" target="_blank">dramatic transporter</a> in the form of an amorphous shape over the water at ground level.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v0v5zFI_UKg/WVsFnkda5wI/AAAAAAAAr4I/op7pS1fgESk0Rpk_cDnId7sFtSSklTb2wCLcBGAs/s1600/20170703_006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="961" data-original-width="1600" height="384" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v0v5zFI_UKg/WVsFnkda5wI/AAAAAAAAr4I/op7pS1fgESk0Rpk_cDnId7sFtSSklTb2wCLcBGAs/s640/20170703_006.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA%20Winthrop/95/143/27" target="_blank">modern gallery building by Patch Thibaud</a> that houses a lot of the smaller pieces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qjZBZ89c3OU/WVsGDL9p6YI/AAAAAAAAr4M/vqeuKwBPz7EXaCw3h3B8rUcYNh5RIpnmwCLcBGAs/s1600/20170703_007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="881" data-original-width="1600" height="352" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qjZBZ89c3OU/WVsGDL9p6YI/AAAAAAAAr4M/vqeuKwBPz7EXaCw3h3B8rUcYNh5RIpnmwCLcBGAs/s640/20170703_007.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And, speaking of Patch, the amazing BOSL Amphitheatre in the sky will necessarily be going away because it sits over the intersection of all four sims. This has been the beloved location of most of our major art/machinima challenge award ceremonies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eNlKAtFhZ44/WVsHSatwMWI/AAAAAAAAr4U/gfld8kNl4LQLLrtbWtTocdd3lDTD11V6gCLcBGAs/s1600/20170703_008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="881" data-original-width="1600" height="352" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eNlKAtFhZ44/WVsHSatwMWI/AAAAAAAAr4U/gfld8kNl4LQLLrtbWtTocdd3lDTD11V6gCLcBGAs/s640/20170703_008.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
WASP sim is also going away. This sim was originally intended for use by the advance visualization collaboration at UWA. (WASP stands for Western Australian Supercomputer Program.) Most of their activity happened the first year of UWA in SL (2009), but included the creation of many of the major campus buildings that were created in the old Google Sketchup 3D modeling program and then imported to SL using a custom conversion tool to recreate them in prims. In addition to Winthrop Hall, they recreated the School of Physics, Art Department, and a few other buildings that will survive the coming changes. The Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery building on WASP (currently housing an old exhibit of doodle drawings by former Linden Lab CEO M Linden) will be going away.
<br />
<h4>
An Aside:</h4>
Alexander Graham Bell, best known for the invention of the telephone, was also interested in aerodynamics and created a number kites using various geometrical principles. Among them was this design that is a set of equilateral triangles within triangles in a pyramidal form called a Sierpinski tetrahedron, which would later be recognized as a fractal set in chaos theory.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Among the items in Second Life on the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WASP%20Land/120/34/24" target="_blank">UWA WASP sim</a> is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle" target="_blank">Sierpinski tetrahedron</a> as part of an exhibit of numerous fractal objects made by Trianguloid Trefoil.<br />
<br />

<br />
Interestingly, there is also an art object on <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UWA%20Winthrop/113/145/24" target="_blank">UWA Winthrop</a> sim created by the brilliant scripter Takni Miklos that generates a Sierpinski tetrahedron on collision (i.e., just walk into the orange ring).<br />

<br />
WASP and Winthrop sims are expected to close the end of
July. The objects on WASP (including the
remarkable <b><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WASP%20Land/54/61/24" target="_blank">1032 prim model</a></b> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Basil%27s_Cathedral" target="_blank">St Basil's Cathedral</a> in Moscow) are expected to disappear permanently.<br />

(Details about that will be posted later. Contact FreeWee Ling if you have questions.)<br />
<br />
Before that happens we want to have one more show!<b> Starting immediately</b>, we are accepting entries for the literal UWA show to end all shows. We are hoping all our old friends from the past seven years will want to be part of this last hurrah. But we also welcome entries from those who have never shown here before. It will be a regular exhibition, similar to the current IMMATERIAL show. No prizes. No judging. Just warm memories and hopes for a brighter tomorrow.<br />

Max Land Impact: 300<br />
Media: 3D, 2D, Machinima<br />
Curator/Contact: FreeWee Ling<br />
<br />
Our final chapter is open to anyone as usual. Entries will not be judged
and no prizes are offered. This is NOT a competitions, but an exhibition/celebration.
As a small incentive, the show will be documented and an exhibition
catalog will be published online as part of the <b><a href="http://uwainsl.blogspot.com/p/uwa-siva.html" target="_blank">UWA Studies in Virtual Arts (UWA SiVA)</a></b> journal series.<br />
<br />
Our final show is to be titled "<b>Transformations</b>" and is about beginnings, endings, transitions, change. The theme is deliberately vague in
order to allow for the broadest possible interpretation. <br />
<br />
CRITERIA:<br />
<ul>
<li>The theme for this exhibition is "<b>Transformations</b>." It is intended to
highlight the technologies of SL as a medium for creative expression. We
especially want work that reflects on the past in SL and/or imagines the future of virtual art. </li>
<li>This will be an exhibition, <b>not a competition</b>. There is no judging
panel and there will be no prizes offered. Curator for this exhibition
is FreeWee Ling, who has final say on any issue. Please address any and
all questions to FreeWee. </li>
<li>DEADLINE for entries is 30 April 2017 at 11:59 PM SLT. Entries will
be put on display as they are received. The exhibition will be on
display until the sim closes (expected to be the end of July 2017).</li>
<li>An official exhibition catalog will be published online as part of the <b><a href="http://uwainsl.blogspot.com/p/uwa-siva.html" target="_blank">UWA Studies in Virtual Arts (UWA SiVA)</a></b> journal series.</li>
<li>Artists may submit up to <b>one entry each</b> in 3D, 2D, and/or
machinima. (I.e., up to three total entries.) Collaborations are encouraged, so if you participate as a
named collaborator on any entry, you may also submit a separate entry as
an individual.</li>
<li>Land Impact limit for 3D work is 300. Sound and light emitting
objects should be carefully crafted in consideration of other nearby
entries. Objects that might impact other nearby entries may have to be
placed on a platform to isolate it. In such cases a poster and TP device
will be placed in the gallery.</li>
<li>Any entry with excessive script lag may be refused or returned for revision.</li>
<li><b>2D entries</b> should reflect the theme and must be images substantially
created in SL. Post-processing (e.g., Photoshop effects) should be kept
to a minimum.</li>
<li><b>Machinima </b>entries can be of any length or subject matter as long a
they are substantially produced using SL as the primary medium and
conform to other criteria listed here. A poster and/or screenshot will
be placed in the gallery and in the exhibition catalog along with a link
to the machinima online.You are responsible for uploading your work to any appropriate video service (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).</li>
<li>As with all our public programs, an entry may not be accepted if it
is deemed to be excessively abusive, violent, offensive, bullying,
harmful,
insulting, or contains inappropriate material or excessively foul
language. Depictions of explicit sexual activity, as well as material
deemed offensive based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation
are not appropriate for this venue any more than they would be in a real
life university gallery that is open to the public. Consult the Curator
if you have any questions about your entry.</li>
</ul>

When JayJay first opened up UWA in SL, it was primarily intended to be a virtual replica of the actual campus in Perth. Having spent a few months there I can tell you they did a remarkably good job. Many of the campus buildings were reproduced using (then) Google's 3D modeling software called Sketchup. These models were then incorporated into Google Earth as part of an international virtual campus program by Google, for which UWA's team won a top prize.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUFsBnqQGPY/WAlrYBEd4II/AAAAAAAAraY/HlF-nnwI8UYi35fhaZ77S_WEylYf-INNQCEw/s1600/20161020_013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUFsBnqQGPY/WAlrYBEd4II/AAAAAAAAraY/HlF-nnwI8UYi35fhaZ77S_WEylYf-INNQCEw/s640/20161020_013.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
One of their team then developed an interface tool called SketchLife that could import Sketchup models into Second Life linksets, complete with texturing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was at a time when the maximum prim size was 10 meters and before sculpted prims (much less mesh) were commonly used. So most of the builds were created as facades without any consideration for interior space or prim efficiency. So, for example, the iconic Winthrop Hall clocked in at over 1500 prims. Other builds were similarly primmy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3OXCidqIc50/WAlqUaFpZ7I/AAAAAAAAraE/M8tdoixUTlknqSOXEJ2A82CayBO1RTkEgCLcB/s1600/20161020_003.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3OXCidqIc50/WAlqUaFpZ7I/AAAAAAAAraE/M8tdoixUTlknqSOXEJ2A82CayBO1RTkEgCLcB/s640/20161020_003.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Last month when it looked as though we would be imminently losing three of our four sims, I scrambled to free space on the remaining sim (the one with Winthrop Hall), which was already very close to maximum capacity. I was able to get edit permissions on some of the major builds, though most of the original builders (who are also the owners of the objects) are no longer active in SL.<br />
<span id="goog_1932589298"></span><span id="goog_1932589299"></span><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-766F4EtpyXk/WAlqUQIUrBI/AAAAAAAAraI/-C-gOCCgHlEyq4IV9RlkB_Y5BtKO5epMgCEw/s1600/20161020_004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-766F4EtpyXk/WAlqUQIUrBI/AAAAAAAAraI/-C-gOCCgHlEyq4IV9RlkB_Y5BtKO5epMgCEw/s640/20161020_004.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
So I set about restructuring a couple of the buildings to increase efficiency. Most urgent, of course, was Winthop Hall itself. Since all the builds were made of normal prims, it was a fairly simple matter to link as many as I could in sections and simply convert them to convex hull, thereby cutting in half the land impact. For example, there are 72 columns in upper and lower colonnades on each side of the building. Each column has a base and a 2-part capital, so a total of 576 prims just for columns. Add 40 prims for the arched headers and you have 616. Just by linking and converting them to convex hull I reduced the land impact to 308.<br />
<br />
In addition to using many parts just because they were using standard prims with a size limit, much of the building was simply pieced together, adding prims wherever needed to fill in the facade. The main roof of Winthrop was about 24 prims stitched together. By taking a couple of those prims and stretching them I could reduce the count to 4, converting to convex made a land impact of 2. (I could have reduced it to 3 prims but since I d0 not own them and do not have copies of the original textures, I had to add a couple that had the correct end textures.)<br />
<br />
I was able to save about 500 land impact from the original Winthrop Hall build without actually changing much. I did a similar job on the adjoining Hackett Hall that saved another 200 or so.<br />
<br />
There are other objects that can't really be altered, like the bust statues of Socrates and Diotima made by the great prim sculptor Chuckmatrix Clip. Each curl of Diotima's hair is a torus prim and that statue alone is 158 prims. With all the twisted and cut toruses I'm not sure there would be much savings by converting to convex hull, and in any case I don't have edit perms on these objects.<br />
<br />

A few years ago I undertook to recreate the interior of Winthrop. This is the main auditorium for the campus. used for concerts, lectures, exams, etc. I was originally interested in just making a replica of the pipe organ, but on JayJay's suggestion I went ahead with the whole thing. JayJay took a lot of high resolution pictures for me to use as textures. Unfortunately the exterior build (as with all the original Sketchup models) was built to standard 1 to 1 real life to Second Life meters using actual floor plans and elevations. As most people know, the average avatar in SL stands about 2m tall or more, and the camera angle is from above and behind the virtual body. So real life scale tends to look way too small. Also, at the time I was not able to edit the Winthrop exterior and there were a lot of prims and projections into the interior that interfered with the space. So instead I simply built my replica on a platform in the sky at larger than life scale. Touching the outside door in the Winthrop foyer would instantly transport you into the sky space.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JspRI2J_D-k/WAlqUu54NaI/AAAAAAAAraQ/A6qZK15FJM0nQNolCFTVzikILRghV7VLgCEw/s1600/20161020_010.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JspRI2J_D-k/WAlqUu54NaI/AAAAAAAAraQ/A6qZK15FJM0nQNolCFTVzikILRghV7VLgCEw/s640/20161020_010.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
With my rebuild of Winthrop Hall, I was able to clean up a lot of the interior space (including simply deleting a few dozen superfluous prims) and I inserted a reduced scale copy of my skybox into the space. It does feel smaller, but is probably closer to actual scale than my original. I made the windows line up better with the exterior and a few other changes, but one issue is that the beautiful entrance foyer was added by another builder from whom I was not able to get edit perms. That space does not precisely line up with the main hall, so I had to adjust my interior to line up with his doors. This means the floor is lower than it should be, making the undercroft area unusable. In all I'm fairly pleased to have the exterior and interior integrated, though I'm still tweaking some details.<br />

It's not clear whether any of our sims will survive past July. We currently have about 1200 prims more than we did before on the main sim and with a few select deletions of other objects it should not be difficult to free up another thousand or more. It will help if we should happen to be able to maintain at least this one sim.FreeWeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04396934667251754750noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923407679865635099.post-9521268980975316902016-10-10T00:48:00.000+08:002016-10-10T00:48:18.482+08:00UWA SIMS SAVED THROUGH 31ST JULY 2017!!!<br />

Following a lot of work in the background at UWA in RL. The UWA presence in SL has been extended through 31st July 2017.<br />
<br />
Thank you to the many who have written in to UWA central providing
support as well as the many who have worked to preserve a lot of the art
and grounds in film.<br />
<br />
Thanks especially to the Desinging Worlds team with AviewTV and TreetTV for their
incredible work on their tribute programme, and to Secret Rage (AKA Vee Marie) for her excellent videos documenting nearly everything on the 4 UWA sims. See links below. <br />
