International Intra Verse Awards 2011 Winner Tayzia Abattoir

I'd retrieved a note card early on Thursday morning, an offering from Tayzia Abattoir. I was pleased while reading it to learn that she had won the International Intra Verse Awards 2011 for her "participation in the arts and charity work in a virtual environment". Ms Abattoir as many of us know, works tirelessly to promote the arts in Second Life, through her work at NMC and at her own space "The Crescent Moon Museum" which  is likely "the longest continuously running museum in Second Life and often called the first". Ms  Abattoir began the museum three months after she arrived in Second life, in August 2004. She is equally tireless in her work for the annual Relay For Life in Second Life. The award ceremony was held that same day in Monaco (RL location) and at the NMC Conference Center in Second Life.

Congratulations Tayzia … I couldn't think of anyone more deserving to be acknowledged with this award and thank you for all that you do in Second Life.

“simplexity” Opens at NMC Campus West on Sunday

An exhibit called "simplexiity" created by Thoth Jantzen opens on Sunday the 22^nd of August. The opening begins at 3pm PDT/SLT and will run for one month. The exhibition is described as a "totally immersive multi-media-based virtual environment" and it is being hosted at the Aho Museum. In the announcement sent to me by museum curator Tayzia Abattoir, she asks the question, "What do you get when COMPLEXITY merges with SIMPLICITY?"

SIMPLEXITY

Was the one word answer.
I had a chance to preview the exhibit several weeks ago, when good friend and artist Thoth sent me both a TP request and IM asking me to come over for a "look see". I did and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You will as well, this is a Lane's List must see.

The note card also explained:

EPILEPSY WARNING: Not recommended if you have epilepsy, seizures, have had a stroke or are otherwise adversely affected by rapidly flashing lights and changing colors.
