I’ve organized my virtual environment in two layers, Inside and Outside. Each will have their own activities during my live broadcasts:

This top level simulation serves as a layer above my screen-based practice. Personal space, a studio where my effects and ephemera can collect. A lot of my personal experience as an avatar doesn’t get seen, so this will be my point of interface 🖤🪞

Last week I shared the first views of my new simulation environment – the landscape and color palette all determined by selected Materia. Each piece had corresponding variables to decide the biome/atmosphere

Come have a seat during my livestream on 6 December, 12AM PST

Next week I will be doing my first livestream to introduce the public to my simulation-based practice. Please join me on the 6th of December at 12am PST. Link will follow soon.

Yesterday I entered an important new phase of my creative process by allowing the public to interface with the variables of my output.

I spent the past year constructing a realtime rendered studio environment and workflow. I can’t wait to begin sharing with you here.
