Update from the Lab!

Finally time for an update!

We passed a very successful launch of our Art Breaker exhibition. More than 1000 visitors stepped by during the weekend and that number is by far doubled now. Parts of the 12 hour opening event can be viewed at Treet.TV. Art Breaker was originally intended to run for 2 months endning start of November. However I managed to make a bummer in official poster that stated October 4th. Anyway it’ll be extended till November 5th!
Also Art Breaker is up in Editors’ Picks at secondlife.com site and we are proud of it! Go support it there
I want to sincerely thanks everyone who have participated and helped making Art Breaker such a fantastic and powerfull exhibition. As late of few days ago I witnessed major companies who brought in classes and gave tours there.
I am pretty sure you haven’t read the last word yet about Art Breaker as we will revamp it with events during October.

And now to the coming up section.

I’ll head to a confrence in Finland next week to make a presentaion about Music in Virtual Worlds and host a panel on Arts as well. This has been scheduled for long and the Finnish connection actually started few years ago when Kiana Writer (Founder of MadPea) hooked me up with Finnish edu sims. Since then I’ve went there twice virtually to give speak to students about Pop Art Lab and Entrepreneurship in virtual worlds. Now it’s time to visit for real.
October 7th I’ll make a 40 min presentation and after lunch I’ll host a 2+ hour Art panel direct from SL and projectored to screen at real confrence. The art panel will include three 30 min presentations by artists Misprint Thursday, Chantal Harvey and Gwenette Writer. We’ll send out inworld invites and hope we can get a thriving art debate during panel virtual and real.
Full schedule and info for “PAL in Finland” will be posted here coming days.

Our next announcement is a very exciting Pop Vox TV music show coming up November 1st. The show will be featuring head of Canadian project “Peace-Partners” as well as live concert by musicians related to the project.
“The adventure started in early 2009. Based on the twin ideals of Peace and Freedom, musician Patrick Lajeunesse founded a group on the music collaboration website of Indaba Music. As a result of those collaborations, around 60 artists from a dozen countries participated. Together, they created more than 40 songs.”
The peace project is non-profit and affilated with Amnesty International and Warchild, Canada.
We are looking much forward to do our very best to bring awareness to this great initiative.

Lastly we’ll continue to showcase Art Breaker and we gladly arrange guided tours up there. Just ping me and we can work out time/date. To visit Art Breaker teleport here!
