syncretia v 1 0 the first incarnation of an island in second life syncretia v 1 0 the first incarnation of an island in second life goodbye syncretia i had been thinking about letting go of syncretia for quite some time an announcement by linden lab stating that non profit educational sims would be expected to pay the full price starting from january 2011 catapulted me from apathy into taking a final decision and although linden labs reneged upon their initial announcement very quickly posted at 6 42 pm on october 30 2010 1 comment filed under uncategorized continue reading abject avatar http abjectavatar tumblr com this has been around for quite some time however it has stood somewhere by itself in cyberspace and unless people have somehow stumbled upon it inadvertently it has remained concealed from sight two reasons first this is very personal and i have felt reluctant to disclose something which cuts so close to the bone posted at 9 29 am on may 23 2010 leave a comment filed under output tagged abject julia kristeva continue reading pages about syncretia alpha auer east above east below navigating syncretia north above north below northwest below south above south below west above categories dress up game output people play uncategorized about syncretia an island located in the virtual world of second life comprises a series of narrative play installations which can also be considered as artistic environments thus the architecture of syncretia should be seen as an endeavor for providing a context for play storytelling and metaphor thus some of what can be experienced and seen at syncretia has been added into the environment by friends and such additions have been kept in situ since the island is considered to be a living warm entity that welcomes such interventions not an artistic object to be examined as one such but instead an immersive location for a second life to fully be lived and participated in following up on the theme of the integration of objects created by others metanomic activity is also brought into play through the integration of objects both found and purchased in second life thus syncretia can also be viewed as a virtual experiment in objet trouvé or readymade art a concerned effort has been made by to integrate syncretia both with the geography as well as the climate of second life thus the island has not been conceived of as an artistic abstraction superimposed in defiance of the virtual terrain upon which it has been rezzed but instead very much as a natural extension of the virtual geography itself terraforming which can be considered as the virtual re incarnation of land art constitutes the primary tool of a building system which attempts to take advantage of vertical space through the usage of geographical strata while a considerable part of syncretia is submerged under the ocean of second life much else makes usage of a steep central mountain as a structural backbone into which huge cantilevered platforms have been embedded raising some parts of syncretia high above water levels there are 4 distinct domains defined by compass directions although thought has been given to creating transitional spaces between these as well climate is brought into play whereby these domains have their intrinsic climactic properties created through the implementation of various scripted weather systems recent posts goodbye syncretia abject avatar the tales of ruysch body parts anatomia the uncanny valley first things first archives october 2010 may 2010 march 2010 march 2009 february 2009 december 2008 november 2008 create a free website or blog at wordpress com entries rss comments rss subscribe subscribed syncretia v 1 0 sign me up have a wordpress com account log in now privacy syncretia v 1 0 view site in reader manage subscriptions sign up log in report this content collapse this bar create your own website free on wordpress com create your own website start free
