A poem by Hypatia Pickens


My exhibit, Second Libations, is the subject of some truly excellent machinimas by talented SL filmmakers. I have placed links to see them in the previous post below.


Last night I received notice of yet another treat. A masterfully produced film made by Hypatia Pickens. This film harbors several unusual surprises. Besides the splendid well of cinematography, Hypatia has an insider point of view. She was actually one of the 10 people who submitted a text to Second Libations. Her poem "Instructions from the Dead on How to Recall the Source Code" became the subject for her film of the same title. Her written page, quill, and inkwell were displayed along with the other stories inside the Librarynth, and consequently, several of her scenes take place in that section of the exhibit. The story sets existence in reverse, in a way that will become evident as you watch the scenes unfold, as you hear the story told in Hypatia's voice.



Hypatia literally slaved over the movie, enduring the kinds of physical pains indicative of the creatively obsessed at their computers for hours on end. After some weeks of most careful work, the following film results:

New Film about 2nd Libations by Spiral Silverstar

FILM:

The very talented Spiral Silverstar created the film below which takes you on a comprehensive tour of Second Libations. It's in two parts.



Second Libations- Pt.1


Second Libations- Pt.2



DIRECTIONS:

Note that maps of the exhibition are available in distribution box 5, located halfway down the colossus, and also inside the main entry of the Temple of bots. They are handy references for getting around.


GRAND FINALE:

As mentioned before, there will be a dramatic end to Second Libations on New Year's eve, Dec 31. The year 2012 issues in at that moment... is it really the end of the world? Come see. I will post the exact time the adventure begins, but for now, to try to accommodate as many time zones as possible, the show will probably be set at 2 pm, SLT. (SL time is Pacific Standard Time). You may want to be there, and bring your camera :)
