Fuschia Nightfire at Inworldz

Last night I decided to visit Fuschia Nightfire’s latest exhibit at Inworldz. ‘Not Everything Is Plain Black & White” is a series of installations  linked by colour. Or I should say lack of colour, as everything is black and white.

The strict pallet produces dreamlike quality. By the end of diving down this digital rabbit hole I was asking  what the viewers role is, in defining art. This question is  re-enforced by wearing any of the free skins and clothing that you can collect at the landing point. Wearing these make your avatar become part of the installation. It’s a very interesting visual experience.

The ‘Not Everything Is Plain Black & White’ by Fuschia Nightfire is hosted on Falathrim region by Fleure Homewood

Other work (unrelated to this exhibition) by Fuschia Nightfire’s is at S&S Gallery of Fine Arts at InWorldz. Also at the same location is a shop of Art to Wear items including a free dress.

There is a great video of the installation by Spiral Silverstar

Also Designing Worlds interviewed and made a TV program about the installation

There is also a flickr group associated with this exhibition

The Ruin at Gyaros

I thought I would share a little of what has been keeping me busy. I now have 2 regions covered in gardens for people to explore and enjoy and like all gardens they are always changing and developing. These are the ruins at Gyaros

All are welcome to visit and explore

On Gyaros you will find about 30 new types of sculpty trees and about 80 new different types of fields of flowers and grasses. These are single prim and ideal to fill meadows and forest glades. They can all be copied so you can be generous with them. Since spring is in the air they quickly add low prim colour to any area.

If you take a wander around the region you will see lots of new plants. Prices start at 50 izzies and are copy and mod, no trans making them very good value

Both Mile and Gyaros are part of mainland 2 and I have joined the InWorldz mainland Chart aka “the Cyprus Chart”. The aim is to keep the place pleasant for sailors as well as for flyers.

Simply put, those mainland regions that have agreed allow free passage of boats, submarines, hot air or powered flying machines, etc land options are set to Object Entry on for all residents and they can run scripts. Obstacles such as off-sim decor that would hinder passage in Iz Straights, or skyboxes under 500 meters are not allowed. Also some regions have a rezz zone so that sailors and aviators can recover from a crash and allow them to re-rezz a vehicle  to continue their journey.

There is also a rezz area on the beach for anyone using the izzie straights that border both regions.

If you dont have a landmark type Teal Etzel into the InWorldz search under the people tab and look in my profile picks.

The inaugural Inworldz Homes and Residences Exhibition

The inaugural Inworldz Homes and Residences Exhibition and Tradeshow opened last week but the other night was my first chance to visit.

I took a pile of photos and thought I would share them with you.

The event is designed to allow residents to discover new designers, see what is available, and see new products various creators are releasing.

No event is without its disasters. I discovered this one building burnt to the ground. Obviously the fire department could not get there in time to save the building.

It was a bit of a shock. However there were peaceful spots to find, and I was able to take time out and recover.

I am sure when new residents first arrive that they have no idea of the variety and quality of virtual products available.

Hopefully these snap shots will give the reader a taste.

The Inworldz Homes and Residences Exhibition are held on the InWorldz Events sims and runs for a month. Dont forget to visit.

I certainly had a good time including a hot air balloon ride!

Popcorn and Amusement parks

What am I doing with old-fashioned popcorn machine? It is one of the most fun Needle in a haystack hunt prizes. I found it at MAAD : The Museum of American Architecture and Design.

Their hunt gift is a tie in with their current exhibit The Great American Amusement Park.

Intrigued to know how the world’s fair at the Crystal Palace in London,  pleasure gardens, Oktoberfest in Germany, and the celebration of industrial achievement influenced American amusement parks? Why the golden age of amusement parks changed as the suburbs grew? How amusement parks are still influencing places like Lego land?

Touch the information panels for notecards that explain the photographs and historical material on display.
There is a fascinating section on the history of the roller coaster.

If you have a spare hour or want a break from building pop over to The Museum of American Architecture and Design and explore The Great American Amusement Park exhibition as it runs until Sept 30th.

It is not the only exhibition on at the moment and I will return to explore further their events but do take a look at this one – Oh and hunt out the pop corn machine it dispenses very fine pop corn!

At Inworldz you will find MAAD : The Museum of American Architecture and Design at

Everyone is talking about Gulliver Travels

Everyone I bump into at InWorldz is talking about Gulliver Travels.

They are not talking of the book but a not-for-profit endeavour built by Ub Yifu and Copan Falta.

It is quite simply an amazing artistic immersive experience making this build, one of the best installations to be found one the  InWorldz Grid.

The grand opening is 17th of Feb, so technically it is not open yet but you can still go and see it.

Do Visit you will I am sure enjoy it.
