The term Virtual Art on its own, implies that it is valid in both worlds. I tried to show this in a symbolic way - using Google Earth and Second Life. This machinima made for MachinimUWA II. Artist Gingered Alsop "Quantum Matrix" Artist Biography: ------------------ I discovered Second Life purely by accident about 2 1/2 years ago, and since then it has been an outlet for my creativity. In the real world I am a professional software developer and a hobby photographer, filmmaker, videographer, music composer and have built hundreds of choreographed slides shows and short films (digital and 8mm). In Second Life, I use the skills of programming to create colour using textures, particles and the capabilities of the Second Life scripting language to create Second Life technology that everybody can use. About the Exhibit ------------------- The idea for this exhibit came from the XYZ sim, but the need to have smooth colours came from the stairs that introduce you to The Chamber (my UWA July Imagine submission). This entire exhibit, with over 1000 lines of script code and all of the 14 submitted patterns was created from scratch in 2 1/2 weeks after Jayjay Zifanwe encouraged me to first think of something then create it and submit it. Whew. As with all my art, I use mathematics and computation to produce artistic results. With the Quantum Matrix, the objective was to create a mechanism to not only create geometry, but use notecards as a way to drive how the engine/calculator produced results. In this case, taking advantage of SL's easy to use LSL rotation math to produce interesting results. What started out as the desire to create something like a 3D Spirograph experiment (en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Spirograph) has morphed into something far more interesting. The Quantum Matrix's parameters drive the engine to produce the shapes you see before you. About 80% of the parameters that are available to LSL's llSetPrimitiveParams() is available through the notecard. Those parameters can be a fixed value, random value or a formula. It's the formula that gives the art work the subtle changes in position, shape, colour, etc. Many of the patterns you see only require minor modifications to the total set of parameters available and several patterns are variations of others with the changing of a few of the parameters. "Onion" and "The Rose" are good examples of where this occurred. Once a particular shape for one primitive is calculated, it is saved so that the shape can be rapidly recalled. While it may appear that a specific parameter may be manually placed, this is not the case. All placement is driven entirely by the formulae in the pattern notecard. The engine in the Quantum Matrix can produce millions of shapes, but just because it can produce a shape doesn't make it artistic. That's where I come in. The patterns in this device are what I think looks good ... rather than a bunch of noise. When you look at the results from this device, keep in mind they all come from the same device by specifying different parameters. A note about the density ... The unique element about the Quantum Matrix is the number of primitives involved. The device can calculate a shape with hundreds of primitives. In the example, I show a pattern called "Inviting" with 50, 100, 200 and 500 primitives. This is to show that additional primitives creates a more elegant version of the pattern. In the competition, I'm limited to 100 primitives, with 2 for signage, only 98 are in this exhibit, so if you like a pattern and want to use more primitives, it is completely possible. Just takes time. The 500 primitive version of Inviting took close to 15 minutes to calculate. I'm sure the Sandbox SIM owners love me. -------------------------------- Music: Slim Warrior - "Make me feel" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6RhWwHBxQU
