dancoyote the sixth finger dancoyote the sixth finger skip to content about activist behavior arts and letters exhibition hyperformalism i h image depot its full of stars mini festo natural scarcity nothing is real open letter to sl artists rehearsal notes skydancer auditions the sixth finger welcome zerog skydancers skepticus grift tuesday may 13 2014 while not as dissenting as some i remain highly skeptical about high fidelity oculus grift etc is the benchmark for progress mass adoption sure it is for erial entrepreneurs like pr but when was the last time the mainstream did anything but water down or outright reject anything even vaguely interesting about culture and accept even laud the vapid soul crushing superficial one size fits all pap poisoning the watering hole all over the world despite the hype it may be that high fidelity and oculus grift are non starters except for the most enthusiastic early adopters could it be that the vr vw etc community is simply so ravenous for forward motion that they will accept placing some huge piece of plastic on your face as new and original or a virtual world based on haptic feedback sure to be a hit with cyber sexers and perhaps a few sculptors unable to cope with 3d modeling as a leap forward none of these goofy technologies solves the basic failures of second life such as the complete lack of understanding about what actually happened in the first and still most well populated virtual world as the corporate kiddies managing second life got younger less experienced and insightful about life art or anything their condescension towards even sls most influential citizenry increased the tendency being to treat anyone who would spend time in a virtual world to be a foolish crybaby desperate for attention instead of the well educated and optimistic pioneers of a deep sociological emergence that they were are ll simply didn t have the faculties or education or desire to understand what actually happened in sl and assumed that the sad bunnies were actually all that existed and then thereâ s the concept of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and ghettoizing the present citizens of second life by simply leapfrogging to a new backwards incompatible format this is far from productive progressive or polite to leave behind your best and brightest from a sociological and cultural point of view sure this is typical of technology but when technology is a substrate for a thriving polity should it be with the ability to create life in the laboratory comes the added responsibility to treat this new life with respect due all living creatures with the ability to create whole cultures should come a set of principles of equal or even greater weight but hey donâ t look at me for that laundry list so i will see you all there on thursday even if i will be wearing my â œskepticus griftâ helmet filed in rhetoric theory comments off friday january 25 2013 skydance v press dress press preview dress

2012 dancoyote antonelli and brother dancoyote artful on the director s perch skydance v stage set working title fall filed in new work comments 0 draft vw art taxonomy from linkedin group virtual worlds friday july 29 2011 there are as many theories of virtual world arts as their are practitioners a good start would be an academic taxonomy of what the main threads of art practice existing in virtual space i have been working on a rationale since 2006 one caveat is that this taxonomy is just the result of my research and not intended to be the last word on anything rather a jumping off point for conversation and further learning remediators many artists the vast majority strive to recreate physical world art objects and display them in spaces that look like galleries in second life these might be termed remediators or artists who use sl in a way that ignores the difference in condition between physical space and virtual space some people call this flart flat or first life art see almost any gallery in sl telematic performance some artists contend that sl is an inherently performative based medium that everything we do with the mask of an avatar is performance these artists tend to come from the dada situationist or theater genres and overlap with the contemporary art world see zerog skydance second front gazira babeli saveme oh platformists artists who use virtual worlds to create derivative projects like machinima music or renderings intended for display and sharing in the material space sl is a prototyping engine essentially a tool see myriad machinimatographers avatar metaverse orchestra mixed realty artists who strive to create a bridge between material space and virtual space in some way and have the work informed by conditions of both spaces this has in the past involved bio feedback into sl and http to lsl and lsl to http control this also tends to be performative micha cardenas azdel slade lizsolo matilda hyperformalists artists focused on conditions native to the virtual space who do not attempt to recreate modes existing in material space rather explore possibilities inherent to the virtual medium and produce artworks native to the phenomenology of the virtual space see dancoyote antonelli selavy oh oberon onmura werner kurosawa narrative realist and fantasy these sl practitioners use sl tools to create narrative environments that are sometimes guided experiences and sometimes heuristic see dekka raymaker bryn oh on space and place simulation of space becomes a real place when we experience it together filed in theory comments off full immersion hyperformalism by dc spensley 8 07 to 4 08 thursday september 13 2007 â œfull immersion hyperformalismâ by dc spensley who is dancoyote in sl graciously hosted by nmc arts and letters sim the organizing principle behind this exhibition is to encourage guests to take advantage of second life s ability to cut the tethers that hold us in the gravity based world and gently release real life concepts like ground and water in favor of another less encumbered experiential space hyperformalism is formalist abstraction in hyper medium by disabling rendering of facsimiles of real life a surreal space for viewing art is created things no longer conform to the field of view of your avatar and scale and context are no longer measured against the arbitrary

affirmation that our being holds experiences that transcend practicality and cut through ideology in such a way as to make wide eyed innocents of us all again and while the creation of wonder is far from the only role of the artist it is the one that has always enchanted me personally and the core reason i still engage in the art mode of cultural production i feel it is important to make a distinction between practical matters what is required and aesthetic matters what is desired i think what is desired reflects more truly the nature of being than the requirements of material existence so i support the distinction between modes of production and call some art and some modes other names i choose to believe and to demonstrate that art exists and support the assertion that this is an important distinction in the minds of people read more in mini festo hyperformalism is a neologism that names something distinguishes some observable social and cultural phenomenon the term suggests a
