Philosopher’s Stone
Visited LEA full-SIM art, “The Philosopher’s Stone” that is featuring the work of 15 artists interpreting 15 philosophers in original artworks. This project strived to create art exhibitions provoking fun, entertaining, and educational, also encouraging collaboration, sharing of knowledge, exploring ideas with various techniques and technologies.
The Philosopher’s Stone: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA17/35/222/25
The map of the arts with the name of artists and philosophers whose name I ever heard. There are both seasoned and novice artists.
The idea began from an article about a project a teacher had given his young students to draw what they thought a philosopher looked like, to have a group of artists “interpret” a philosopher. For me the art is sometimes clear as mud, and this time ‘philosophy’ was added a fortiori. It could be Greek.
The ground was set by Pixels Sideway the organizer. There is a pile of columns like a Parthenon.
When walking into, the columns around me are lifted up. This movement alludes to the idea of thought and reflection. The following is extracts from the artist’s comment.
This alludes to the idea of thought and reflection…under one of the columns is a revelation that leads to a place of deeper meditative thought.... and that revelation is a hidden teleport. Where does philosophical thought come from? Sometimes they are revealed in mysterious way… we uncover something that leads us to a revelation, and thoughts are dynamic -- they are always moving around in our minds -- so if each column were a thought or fragment of a thought or idea or concept, we might come across something that is like an "ah ha!" moment -- a revelation of sorts -- and that can lead to a deeper reflective meaning, or it could just be a fun place with moving columns under which one is a hidden teleport to a secret place :-)
There is a meditation space with colorful images dancing, but I liked the moving columns and tried to lift them up as far as possible. The columns keep lifting as I fly up. It is fun as if I got special power.
The movement is rather slow. I went down quickly and the columns were left behind, descended calmly. I did not see what kind of thinking this movement depicted, but it was fun to watch.
To be continued.
