The first of the monthly shows features an extended conversation with artist Dekka Raymaker (Andrew MacLachlan) who discusses his background, personal experiences, and how he began creating art in Second Life. We also visit his latest work We Are Not In The World.
"The format of my show is an extension of something I experimented with in 2009 on Arthole Radio, where twenty artists selected the music and talked about their choices. It was a popular edition and I thought it would be interesting to do that again but this time dedicate an entire episode to just one artist. Dekka chooses some great music and reveals much about himself and the creative process during the course of the two hour interview.
Khamudy Mannonen also joins me for a convivial chat and round up of Second Life news stories. His contribution will be a regular feature."

New York based artist Amy Freelunch was a member of the original Brooklyn is Watching team before leaving to pursue new ventures and hosting her own show on Arthole Radio. She has since produced many solo podcasts and has become known for her unique and valuable commentary on the Second Life art scene.
Penumbra Carter is an established Second Life artist and painter in real life. Her latest SL work 'I Heard a Fly Buzz' is currently on display at the Art'e Gallery. Penumbra is new to broadcasting and her enthusiasm and observations promises to make for a very entertaining show.
We're approaching other artists and organisations and plan to add more shows to the schedule as time goes on. Please visit this blog for news and announcements.

ReplyDeleteNice interview Arahan of Dekka Raymaker It's really wonderful to get a peak into the mind of how one decides to take abstractions of thought and make them a virtual concrete experience.
ReplyDeleteRoxelo, hello and thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey Pen. Very pleased you enjoyed the Dekka interview, I think the longer than usual duration of the conversation allowed for a deeper insight into an artist than we're sometimes allowed.
