With 5 solo albums to his credit (available on itunes or amazon) and numerous recordings as sideman, he should probably relax on the beach with his 8-year old.

I am a dutch theater-director with Asian roots who also tries to make performances or theatreplays in SL. Together with my father Cupido Oh I explore the creative challenges and limitations of SL. Crossed quit some borders already but also found huge walls. When a dramaqueen decides to call herself SaveMe Oh on the day of her virtual birth she knows trouble is on the way. She should have known she implanted a magnet of trouble on the spot where everybody else has a heart. But if there might be a slight trace of selfpity we might expect she will hides it in the most grotesk way she can, that’s the job of a true dramaqueen.

Film interpretation of Igor Ballyhoo’s installation “Forest of Scissors” at UTSA Artspace inside Second Life.
I went to a Japanese teahouse once, for a tea ceremony. As each person receives a cup he or she turns the cup and looks at every part — observing and appreciating the weight, the texture, the dimensions, the color, the shape, the design, etc. What better way to turn life in my hands and observe each part than to take on many roles? I like to see all around things — so I have to go here and see life from above, here to see from below, here to see from any of a vast number of possible viewpoints.

I’ve been active in Second Life since June 2005. During this time I’ve experimented with the medium, creating a wide variety of artistic projects, ranging from photography and machinima, to large scale installations and mixed reality events.

http://vimeo.com/19813253
This film was actually started in 2010 when Moviestorm introduced the gizmo for moving objects in 3D space. I had an idea for building the house in a fantasy world setting and played around with it off and on for several months until the muse deserted me. Hence the poem 😉
I am a teacher of English language living in Japan. I have been active in producing machinima movies for about four years now, first using The Sims 2, which I originally used to make video materials for my language students. Around two years ago I began using Moviestorm, as it had more potential than TS2 and since then have produced a lot of short movies as well as working on my long term project of Jekyll and Hyde which at present has reached part four of six episodes.

I was born in London. I live in England. I have five children, one of whom was asked to write a short film script to support his application for a script-writing course. I asked him if I could use the script to make a machinima piece. This film is the result. They offered him a place on the course, but he turned it down and took a place on a course that combines writing with production and post-production. I work in the education industry so don’t have as much time for writing or creative projects as I would like.

http://vimeo.com/18529982
“His artistic take on the bands brief ‘descending or ascending feeling, until released from this mortal coil’ is beautifully illustrated with Ian’s free-falling figure. This abstract piece complements the music and is a fitting end for this album project that sees our hero falling through his own private purgatory.”
I am an artist. I am fascinated by the notion ‘what defines me’ and the virtual world presents an exciting medium for creative practice. I believe that as technology blurs the boundaries of our perceived reality we have to make it part of ourselves. But as in the real world, we need balance. Technology can so easily become an onslaught of the novel and we need more than this. My aspiration as an artist is to create virtual spaces where, like in the ancient, sacred, hidden and secret places in the real world, we can stop and just be…
