Collagesity (2014-2022)

VIRTUAL gallery complex containing my digital collages. Galleries included Boos (Boos series), Red Umbrella (Sam Parr, Embarras, and Stonethrow series), Fal Mouth Moon (61 piece Falmouth series), Power Tower (Gilatona-Lis),  and Edwardston Station or SoSo or Gallery Jack galleries (Art 10×10, composed of 100 collages created between 2004 and 2009).

More recently (2015-2022), Collagesity was a primary setting for 32 photo-novels (and counting!) involving many characters and situations now. See top of this page for links!

—–

An example of what the galleries were all about: The exhibit within the Fal Mouth Moon, a re-purposed Moard Ling freebie called “Castle 12”, spans 7 floors, beginning in the basement and extending upwards into floors 1-6. As they were created in early 2014, the collages were also “hung” at the same time. One can say, more than ever, that the (virtual) gallery shaped the art as well as visa versa.

In 2015, the complementary, smaller Red Umbrella gallery was finished using many of the same techniques. Late 2015 brings the creation of the last major collage gallery to date, called Boos.

If you had a Second Life account, you could visit Collagesity and walk around the galleries while “inside” your chosen avatar.

There have been 2 videos that I know of made about Collagesity and its art, both dating from 2016. Thanks Art Oluja and Pearl Gray! Fabulous creations each.

History

Created beside the Great Rubi Woods LINK in late 2014, Collagesity proceeded through several iterations, generally moving from a south to a north direction. Here are some older maps.

February 2015.

January 2016 (hi res map).

December 2016 (gallery labels only; hi res map again).

July 2017 (galleries in yellow; other prominents structures in white).

In April 2019, Collagesity moved from the Rubi Woods area on the Heterocera continent, in what we can call the western hemisphere of Our Second Life, to a high beige ridge on the Nautilus continent, which lies in a complementary (and newer) eastern hemisphere of this virtual world. Here it remains up to this writing (May 2022).

Details

To create the pictures for virtual galleries in Second Life, I simply uploaded PNG or JPG images from appropriate folders on my hard drive to my Second Life inventory, and then attached the resulting texture to what’s called a prim. The images in Second Life are not as high resolution as the original images, but increase in quality for newer series.
