OPENING NEW Exhibition featuring Treacle Darlandes and vroum Short

From Thursday May 21 at 21:00 CET, FLUXGATE Gallery is very proud to present the wonderful, imaginative works of Treacle Darlandes and vroum Short !!!
We like to cordially invite you all to the Opening&Vernissage at 21:00 CET/12 AM SLT at FLUXGATE Gallery

Treacle hopes to recreate the wonderful visual effects of SL in her SL art. Using colour, texture and shape. Newest creations involve specially created music even...a must see and hear !











Through her creations, Vroum attempt to leave aside of the real things, those that ruin our imagination, assassinate our desires, and trap the source of inspiration that runs into ourselves.
In her submarine exhibitions, 3D animated living plant sculptures and luminous pictures mix themselves harmoniously
By creating Vegetal Planet, Vroum has discovered the world of art : an universal communication tool...
Probably the one of the subconscious sharing of our dreams.

Will your Work-May 18th--Vanfarel Kupfer

Will your Work-May 18th

Dear fellow bloggers, content creators, photographers, community leaders:
About two weeks ago, virtual artist Vanfarel Kupfer died. Had he not left copies of most of his work (no trans, no mod) with his virtual girl friend, Native Aeon, his only legacy would be what is currently rezzed today.
Avatars in Second Life devote thousands of hours to creating content, and all that work is LOST when they die. Yes, even if they backed up that work by giving it to an alt. Even if they gave their account password to someone. When you die and unless you have taken appropriate measures, no one, not even Linden Lab, can legally access your work. It is simply lost forever.
I have been in communication with Linden Lab regarding the correct procedure for "willing" one's artwork - or for that matter, any assets - in SL. Legally, the correct and ONLY procedure boils down to this.
In a nutshell, I propose that we establish one day a year, May 18, to encouraging content creators to "Will your Work."
The goal would be to celebrate Van's art while at the same time encouraging people to either give copies of their work to one or more avatars (not their alts) whom they trust, or add them to their Real Life will.
Also on May 18 and for one week, and working with his beloved Native Aeon, Vanfarel Kupfer's work will be exhibited at four locations: his former home sim, EnLuminaria, the Crescent Moon Gallery, the Blackwater Gallery, and Chakryn Forest. Understandably, Native is still very much in mourning over her loss, and when I asked her how I could help, she stated that her greatest wish is that Vanfarel's work become known throughout the grid. So be it.
I am asking all my fellow bloggers, photographers, community leaders and more to join me in writing about and promoting May 18th - on Monday, May 18th - as Will your Work day, to generate awareness of this important objective. If you speak more than one language, please help us to get this message out to your fellow residents in their native language. Won't you please help?
Here's to enduring great virtual content!
