Angry Beth 2
In the war. Oppression, expulsion, persecution, devastation, and defunction, these are depicted by many animations and pose balls. These are only a part of them, wishing not to be the prospect of Lot who fell away…
The long war was over and Beth returned, but Lot had disappeared. She might have flown away to some distant place.
Lot could have flown away like a bird, searching for the stars…
But Beth’s dolor and anger will never heal.
The grief of a mother who lost her child should be the deepest above all else. The walls around this art, there are the real names of children who died in the concentration camp. There were so many numbers of sorrows actually… To be continued.

Angry Beth
Visited an art SIM, “THE INEVITABILITY OF FATE, A story about Angry Beth and Lot” by Rose Borchovski. Ms. Borchovski is the artist of “Angry Beth” that was presented at UWA Self Portrait. This one could be the sequel. The previous one was reported in my blog shown above. The theme this time is grief and anger of a mother who lost her child in a war.

The following is the text prepared by Rose.
THE INEVITABILITY OF FATE
A story about Angry Beth and Lot
Lot turned eight, the sun did shine and all were happy.
But then the war came and all did change.
A harsh hand ruled the world of Beth and Lot.
They were forced to leave.
They were separated from each other.
They were made the enemy.
The war was bitter and long.
After the war Beth returned.
The child Lot had disappeared; no one knows where she went.
Beth keeps searching for Lot.
On good days, Beth is able to imagine that
Lot is flying like a bird, with her face towards the sky,
searching for the stars.
On bad days, Beth can only be angry about her loss.
Beth’s wounds will never heal.
Lot had no chance to become who she meant to be..
This is an interactive installation. Yellow tears are pose balls. The above is a flying chair that carries me sky high. The following sentences are my arbitrary interpretation and may not follow the artist’s intention, but it could be allowed since this art is interactive.
The below is Lot, stinging innocently a globe having blinders on.
The pins were also stinging her mother Beth…
And stabbed the home where they have lived in peace.
They were treated as the enemy, and sent to a concentration camp.
They were separated from each other.
This is the last moment when Beth saw Lot face… To be continued.

Yacht Practice 2
The yacht practice on June 12 was canceled due to SIM maintenance. So this time is written lesson only. We had practiced two ways to start a yacht. This time let us practice starting using the methods.
Method A:
1. Direct the yacht toward the wind and stand still.
2. Set the sheet angle to desirable number (ex.25) and stand by.
3. Start the yacht by changing the direction toward the target (ex.50).
Method B:
1: Direct the yacht toward the wind and stand still
2. Set the sheet angle to a large number (ex. 60)
3. Turn the yacht toward the target. (ex.51)
4. Type in “Sheet -35” (=60-25) in the chat window without touching Enter and stand by.
5. Start the yacht by touching Enter.
Please take a close look at the right side of each picture. The blue allow showing wing direction is different. The yacht is facing toward wind in Method A and toward the target in Method B. When there are other nearby yachts, Method B may be beneficial in changing position or making a feint.
Now let us practice starting. Prepare a watch that has second hand.
Starting practice procedure are:
1. Open the sail along the wind and let the yacht stand still while raising.
2. Check own yacht position regarding a map or surrounding terrine.
3. Start the yacht with Method A or B and measure the time to the start line.
4. Repeat the above from different position and see how long it takes from each spot.
Important points are 3 and 4. It is better to have as many spots as available for your stat.
Seconds to the start line could be depicted like the following picture. This is not actually measured. The time is different according to the starting method or personal line that is used. It is the best to create own image and to be able to start from any spot.
The lines are not set equally spaced considering time for acceleration. It can be said that the farther the starting point, the more the speed gained.
These yellow lines are also related to the ranking toward the goal. After turning the yellow buoy, yachts on the same line are in the same ranking.
Now let us activate the timer and practice starting actually.
At the first time, do not hesitate to make flying and pass the line as it is. Check by how many seconds you made flying and adjust the next start with that number.
By practice, you may be able to start from any position or during making circle with a good speed.
When two yachts are coming into collision, there are many rules, but at this time let us use only two rules in this club.
1. Right yacht priority
It is OK to come to the start line from either side. But if there is a possibility to collide, the yacht from the left should give a way to the one from the right.
2. Leeward yacht priority
There may be a case to change the way toward parallel to the line when coming in too early, but if there is another yacht next to you, you should not disturb the course of the other. If you come in too early, only you can do is to open the sail and reduce speed.
Strictly saying, when two yachts are getting wind in opposite side, the right yacht has priority, and if getting wind in same side, the leeward yacht has priority.
If you started too early toward the starting line, in most cases there is no way to recover. So practicing is very important.
Next time, let us practice spinnaker, centerboard, and Button HUD.
June 19: 21:30~
June 26: 22:30～
See you!

Terracotta Army
The 3rd of theUWA Grand Art Challenges is in progress. The format is hugely different from the previous challenges, in that it is a single round only, lasting 3 months, L$550,000 price pool and L$100,000 for Grand Prize! This art challenge is one of events commemorating 100th anniversary of UWA. It is open to everyone, the theme is open with a 110 prim limit per artwork, (150 land impact PE for mesh). The dead line is June 30, so still there is enough time! If you are interested in, see the above page.
http://uwainsl.blogspot.jp/p/uwa-centenary-3d-art-challenge.html
This is “Terracotta Army” by Pravda Core, depicting Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the lifelike images of soldiers and horses.
I have never been to, but the real one may be like this, looking down from spectators’ walkway and it would not be possible to stand next to them.
Because of the 110-prim restriction, more soldiers may not be available, so I put more imaging the artist intention. The real one have different faces respectively. Please let me know if there is a large one in SL.

Winthrop Hall
Many of UWA’s 100 treasures designated by the Centenary celebration committee are reproduced in beautiful detail on the UWA virtual campus in SL. As one of them, the Winthrop Hall interior was refreshed. A huge pipe organ was reproduced just like the real photograph. A magnificent auditorium.
UWA: http://slurl.com/secondlife/University%20of%20WA/92/184/24
The doors from the entrance hall do not open and there is a teleporter looking out of place.
I forced me to go through, but there is no gorgeous room but a space like a construction site.
Actual room was set separately in a skybox. It seems like a trick stage for a suspense drama.
It is interesting to see that there is nothing in this stately building. There are some cases in Europe SIM of nice buildings that have no interior. The inside away from the ground area could be beneficial when gathering many people regarding chat or heaviness.
