A collection of creations that evoke "I am here" moments in the virtual world. A Japanese 4-year-old girl once said "Watashi wa iru!" (meaning "I am here!") when noticing her own reflection in her father's eyes. This sense of self present within the moment is something even a toddler can tell. In the same way, there are artworks that evoke this sense of being in the present whatever that mood, situation, color or message may be. Watashi Wa Iru is not about an art movement or a philosophy so much as it is a human condition on a very basic and powerful level that virtual art can be capable of. This network is open to all creations visual, audio, interactive or yet unimagined native to Second Life that capture this feeling. Watashi wa iru!

AM Radio article gets picked up by artbistro

Hey hey,

So I wrote a little article about AM Radio for my personal blog (basically, I met with him and interviewed him for basically hours and then wasn't able to use all the info I got because I quit BiW, so I thought the least I could do is write something for my personal blog).

Artbistro.com, a site that has thousands of subscribers, sometimes "syndicates" things from my blog (with my enthusiastic permission!) and chose that article to be one of them. It's actually on the front page of the… Continue
