"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for." Georgia O'Keeffe
Second Life offers us a truly different perspective on the world of art, creativity and overall visual inspiration. As we journey across the grid to find those with a voice, evoking thought and maybe even changing the world, we share our experiences with some of Second Life's most creative thinkers.
"Machinima for Deep Thinkers: A Journey into the Metaverse by Tutsy Navarathna"
Media Mojo | Page 206
Written by Isadora Fiddlesticks & Photography by Tillie Ariantho
While much of machinima is made to entertain, some are made to make us ponder. Upon watching Tutsy Navarathna’s new machinima masterpiece, A Journey into the Metaverse, my long-buried questions about how our Second Life® avatar and our real life selves connect once again came to light.

Every year the AVENUE of Life team presents glorious and fascinating events that combine fashion, beauty and art to create a symbol of the movement: our stand to support and help the millions of people that fight cancer every day. The American Cancer Society and the Relay For Life of SL have raised over $1 million since 2005, and AVENUE of Life continues to make all efforts to strengthen this cause with diverse approaches reaching out to every part of Second Life®, especially in the fashion, music and art communities.

“The truth shall set you free.” These simple words have been spoken since the beginning of time. For some people, it takes more than words to heed this piece of advice; that is where Layachi Ihen comes in.

No words can do her work justice. She creates as she feels, and she lets the journey drive her creative force. One need only look at her work to feel a certain awe at the creations before you. Yet, there are often unanswered questions. What is the emotion behind the scene? Do I really understand what I’m seeing, and am I even supposed to?

In all my years on the grid, I have always been impressed by the kindness and social consciousness of residents in Second Life®. Organizations such as the American Cancer Society that has held Relay For Life events since 2005 prove that spirit wholeheartedly. Other forms of philanthropy have abounded in-world, but as of May 2011, there is an organization that provides grants and other forms of philanthropy to those who have ideas and causes that would benefit the society that SL™ has created. That organization is the Avatar Charitable Trust, which was founded by Chuk and Lillie Edman.

This month, AVENUE Magazine is proud to interview one of Second Life® machinima’s most influential people, Chantal Harvey. One of the grid’s best machinimatographers, Harvey started out as just another avatar trying to explore and have fun in the metaverse. It was 2007, the year when Second Life was enjoying the height of their popularity. Plenty of people were intrigued by this virtual world and wanted to find out what it was like. Harvey was one of those curious enough to try SL™, She first started in this virtual world as an explorer, like many others, and was amazed by the possibilities it offered.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what happens when that picture leaves you speechless? The short answer is that you’re probably looking at a piece of artwork created by Carthalis Rossini, and odds are it has taken your breath away. To call what he does just photography would be a tremendous understatement; he creates snapshots around the virtual grid and using his skill and masterful eye turns those into art that speaks to the masses. Rossini has managed to not only take viewers of his work on a mesmerizing visual journey, but he’s also managed to share a piece of himself through his artwork. Join AVENUE as we sit down with this month’s Featured Artist to delve a little deeper into the man, his mind, and his work.
"A Man with a Message through Art"
Arts Feature: Elie Maurice/Loup Erin | Page 260
Written by Spruce Canning
Photography by Brie Wonder
When walking through the destruction and looking at the results of human consumption and the role that commercialism plays, all displayed in the art of Elie Maurice (Loup Erin in Second Life®), one has to wonder about human society and how long we can sustain this planet until we are forced to start exploring the Moon and outer regions of the solar system. As I walked through the sim and viewed the examples of human consumption that Maurice has created, I had the pleasure of sitting down with him and finding out more about how human society had motivated him to create the stark examples that would cause humanity to rethink their lives.
