LEA Closing

The closing date of LEA is imminent, but I found no news for the future. Could it be postponed endlessly as the Brexit? The main hall of LEA has changed drastically.




The seats for audiences are still there, but any performance would be affected by this shape.




It returned to the original dome shape within a few days and destroyed again. What is this?




The tower by Dekka also started deforming. It reminds me of the Kanda Shrine destroyed at the end of Edo. Am I seeing a death of a world again?




There were some back down activities at a corner of a SIM, which may be a joint work by Barry Richez, Arcadia Asylum and ithielle chanleville. The carrier seems like an alien’s space ship that relieves human arts.




The operators have human shape but the skin look like arts. Could they come from a planet of arts? The work has been carried forward and it is approaching to the end every day.




An art by Barry depicting LEA closing by graffiti being erased. The people gathering are all figures except me. There are some beautiful ones among them including many paparazzi. I think it is important to take pictures and save them.




An art by Venus Adored. A balloon is hit by big drops of rain and will fall on the needles at any moment, in three more days….

Execute my sister

As a fainting fetish, I cannot forget the exhibition by Dekka in the previous article. I tried to execute my twin sister who has the same avatar. This is she just before the execution with her cloth changed to white one. Soon she will be dead but she remains rather unperturbed contrary to my expectation. She was looking around the room as the last picture she would see in her life.




I took a role of the executive maid made a briefing.  Three drugs will be used, sodium thiopetntal ultra-short-acting drug causes unconsciousness, pancronium bromide paralyzes muscles, and potassium chloride stops heart. I told her that everyone passed out instantly with the first one and did not express any agony. Actually, there are many examples to show death in agony due to inadequate injection, and also the sodium thiopental is prohibited in some states to use for pet euthanasia since this drug may cause excessive pain. There should be many ways to make safe anesthesia but physicians would not take part in the execution. I wish my sister will not suffer…




At an actual event, the body will be strapped to the bed, but I let her go without it since she is behaving. A needle with a tube was set on my sister’s arm and she keeps lying submissively. Is there any shot call for the execution, designated time, or shall I judge it by observing her face? Shall I say here it comes?




At the instant when the first drug was injected, heaviness in my arm, pressure in the chest, and eyes, notrils, and mouth opened momentarily, face getting a bit hot, that was the anticlimactic last moment…. If only the anesthetic agent was kept increased, my breathing will be deeper once and then slow down gradually, at the last moment my breast makes heavy pant, then stops completely, but during the period, the unconscious body may make some convulsions and jerks in struggles due to lack of oxygen.




The final drag stopped my sister’s heat. Since the scond drug had stopped breathing and paralyzed muscles exept heart, the unconceous body stayed motionless, and kept quiet in the limp stretched pose. She will not come back by any resuscitation. When the eyelid is raised by finger, there is nobody inside… Once flushed cheek now became pale and the color of her slightly opened flaccid lips has been changed, but her dark skin does not accent them. The face to death is cute and peaceful like a dream, but it is not my dear sister’s face anymore.




The body will be given to the family. The fully loosened body has made the bed wet. The heels of the executive maid could be to avoid that on the floor…




A real execution room is rather cleaner and cooler than I thought. To terminate someone’s life should be a serious issue, but the room is like a dry office without any dignity. There are other ways to execute, gas, electric, or hanging, but the injection seems to be most painless and also simple. But I feel something missed if I will go instantly with the injection. After all I prefer to be choked out by him at that moment and let me go as it is.



Needless comments: Dekka’s art did not have face animations. And since the animation did not work in the SIM, the faces were taken in other area separately and inserted afterward. The mouth was shot during the transitional movement of face animations. The closed and half-opened eyes were the process of blinking of the avatar that required patience to get the right timing. Actually, my sister’s dead body did not behave, and kept blinking and looking around vivaciously. If I could use Bento head, it had beautiful closed eyes and nose too… The open nostrils are retouch. As I wrote before avatar nose does not move. I think it is cute to see it trembling or opening softly. When Vanessa Williams was operating computer, she bit her lips and wide opened nostrils, it was a gorgeous look which cannot be seen in Japanese movies. I tried to simulate it with retouch but was not successful. There are some Japanese who have rather opened nostrils, and the smaller and narrower ones might be preferred for women, so to open nostrils would not be considered as a cool action.

LEA Art 4/4

It is a joy to see some interesting or strange shapes in the SL art. This is actually made in RL history, Glider "courant d' air" by Yooma Mayo. It looks really flying, but it will be uncontrollable if sitting like me.




An art by Daco Monday. There were many new free joyful creatures in SL arts. There was a Sea-Cow^-^




I missed the artist’s name of this art. This is a reflected image that was popular in SL before. It is not making a real reflection but providing a mirror-image object on the other side. This technique was used on a floor of church or big hall, reminds me of the good old days.




I love a lot of things, anything, like flowers in RL. This is also done by Dekka Raymaker. I cannot see the meaning but it is a joyful art.




Shadows of arts on a wall. This could be a kind of art. It is sad to lose LEA but is could be an order of the day. Thank LL for supporting arts, and thank the LEA committee to manage it.



I was able to write many articles regarding LEA, total of 65 in the LEA category. Here I put my best 10 articles in chronological order. These are not the best 10 arts!

LEA Art 3/4

Someone from UWA said, “It is an art if the self said it is an art.”
“Dreamer's Box - Dreamer's Container FULL VERSION 1" by iBi. This is a simple container that was also at Baba meeting area, but it makes an art with some lighting devices arranged.




There is a category in SL arts to visualize in three dimension the historical devices or facilities. The SIM reproducing drawings of Leonardo da Vinci in three dimensions. This is “Cloudbuster (in field)” by Dekka. This was a rainmaker by using some kind of energy by aiming at clouds to connect it to water on the ground. There were several machines made actually and one of them still exists. I imagine there was no actual effect.




Dekka is exhibiting several strange devices. This one is “Xibalba Lodestone Synthesizer “, which creates synthesizer-like tone with Neolithic diorite lodestones by water power, intrigued by a story that someone heard a strange machine creating synthesizer-like tones in Africa. But I cannot see the mechanism from any directions. In an architecture course of a university, there is a task to create a machine that has no use. This could pass the exam.




“Revised Telescope Camera Set”. It could be to peek something, but only to make a funny pose for nothing.




“Robot Dipping Wheel”. The robot was submerged in the water when the wheel was rotated like a racing wheel.




“Barn Shack Tower 2019”, I tried haning several times in SL and also put some real pictures in my gallery, but this one is a robot. The right arm was detached and set on the table behind. Does this have some special meaning?




A pose falling down from a stepladder. This is not an animation but a static pose. There is a picture of a child climbing on it on the wall, but I cannot see the meaning since I did not find any explanation note card. The pose was a bit cute so I took a picture.




A room in the theme Tower also by Dekka, an execution by lethal injection. Three kinds of agent will be injected with some interval. Sodium Thiopental ultra-short-acting drug causes unconsciousness, Pancronium bromide paralyzes muscles, and Potassium chloride stops heart. The person will become unconscious immediately at the first shot and will not feel any pain. I prefer some sensation at that time.

LEA Art 2/4

A part of the arts by Tausee in the Core SIM. I like the ever changing many colors. Tansee has initiated a group for saving LEA and asking for specific suggestions and reasonable solutions. I am just an audience and not in position to propose any idea, but as the deadline is looming, I hope there have been many constructive ways proposed.




A part of the arts by Glyph Graves. The changing color/shape is a sight I never tires of.




A fountain of colors. This was in the sandbox and I failed to record the artist name.




“Tree 6_Small - Winter” by Reid Parkin. After looking bright colors, this gives a cool rest.




“Gravity” by Betty Treand. The dancing figure manipulates various blocks.
