WYB S04E07: Bloom Light Show Residency at SLEA
The latest edition (S04E07) of “Where Have You Been?” — the VCRadio original series that features places to go and things to do around the Second Life Grid — takes a look at a stunning multimedia art experience at the Second Life Endowment for the Arts.
“Semence: A Digital Odyssey” is a light and particle show created by Lalie Sorbet and Chrix. The name “Semence” means “seed” in French, and also refers to the reproductive cell of all living forms. This symbolizes the essence of the artists’ exploration of a digital world filled with pixels, colors, shapes, and effects. “Semence” represents a journey through the cycle of life, from inception to growth and beyond, and uses the full potential of Second Life, integrating particles, meshes, animesh, and other effects to create a memorable experience.
These light shows really are unlike anything you’ve seen on this grid. Not only can you observe the show, but sit in the chairs provided and you will soon find yourself immersed in the show- literally, flying amidst the emerging and changing shapes and colors. The artists say, “Semence” is more than just a show. It is a metaphor for life’s journey. We want you to be more than just a spectator. Visual effects will seamlessly incorporate you into the narrative, making you an integral part of this digital adventure. Join us to witness and participate in this fusion of technology and art, where every element is a seed sown to cultivate wonder, growth, and inspiration.

Where Have You Been?: Two Sides of October
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, we approach the month of October in two different ways: The Briar Woods present a pleasant Autumnal scene, while the Ride of Doom lends a Hallowe’en-ish feeling to the proceedings. Both are well worth a visit!
We also suggest a couple of other venues that might be worth your perusal.
This show airs on October 25 and 28, plus Nov 1 and 4, at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific.

The Glinka Gallery — Featuring artist Lash VV
June is Pride Month in the United States and many other countries, and that’s just one of the reasons that we’re featuring Wolfgang Glinka’s Glinka Gallery in this edition of “Where Have You Been?”.
For those who might not know, Pride Month started in 1969 in the United States as a response to the Stonewall riots, which served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world. The observance has grown and expanded over the years, and Pride Month celebrates LGBTQIA+ culture as well as working to build rights awareness.
The Glinka Gallery holds regular exhibitions and performances on the gallery’s five floors, featuring fine art, sculpture, photography, poetry, music and dance.
