Patrick Millard, aka Formatting Heliosense, at Enaxia

Enaxia Gallery threw a grand party for the opening of Patrick Millard’s Formatting Gaia.

In Formatting Gaia, we experience the small shock of just how far the digital age has imposed itself on our environment. These juicy photographs are certainly thought provoking, while the tree hugger in me found some pieces downright disturbing.

Formatting Gaia runs until January 15th at Enaxia. Be sure to pick up a copy of the attractive catalogue from the grey boxes at the front entrance.

DJ Mr Honey at Nantucket Yacht Club

The real SL sailors had a regatta today and a big party at the Nantucket Yacht Club to celebrate afterwards. Our friend DJ Mr Honey was providing the tunes so Merlin and I dropped in to join “Queen Bee” Helena on the dance floor and hang out for a while.

Sunday Night Poetry and Bar Dancing

Dancing at The Blue Angel

Dancing at The Blue Angel

Micheil and I were puzzling over the oddness of SL physics until late last night, so I missed the open mic poetry at The Blue Angel.

But even the pull of the playa isn’t strong enough to keep me from dressing up to meet Merlin and dance with the cool kids in the mellow grasp of DJ Mr Honey.

Burning Life 2009

The playa on Quinn

The playa on Quinn

My building partner, Micheil Merlin, and I are delighted to have been awarded a Theme Camp at Burning Life this year. As M&M Entertainment & Spectacles, we are planning to build a Rube Goldberg machine to catch a monkey!

We hope we will build it, that is. We’re not sure if what we have in mind will work once the intense lag of these exhibitions hits.

The image is of the playa on Quinn before the hoards began arriving in the land rushes that are being held all week.

My friend and imaginative builder, Lauston Oh, hasn’t been successful yet in getting a camp for himself. I’ve got my fingers crossed for him, because Burning Life just wouldn’t be Burning Life without some of Lauston’s craziness.
