Maloe Vansant has been in Second Life since 19 January 2007.
Maloe and me first met 12 years ago in SL, and since then we have been strongly bonded. For the last 6 years we have been almost inseparable. Our friendship is far out of the virtual space, full of trust, respect, hearty warm and crowned with strong empathy for the light full and also the dark sides of our personalities.
Maloe belongs to the group of people who are strongly guided by feelings and she is blessed with ability to touch our souls with her photography.
With skillful game between light, shadow, color and composition she creates works that appeal to us not only on the quality level, but also write stories of life and with it catch our thoughts and hearts.
As she says herself, art is not always just a beautiful picture or image of a person. In her photos we experience sorrow, pain, loneliness, death, birth, danger, joy, smile, touch, song, love story and much more.
I am always overwhelmed by Maloe’s work. As her friend I´m the lucky person who has the privilege to see many of her photos before anyone else and often we choose them together for the upcoming exhibition.
After doing the selection, I use to stand alone in front of her photos, understanding her feelings, the moment of happiness and joy, pain and desires, and I find myself immersed for hours in an inner-led story.
Afterwards, like after a thrilling movie, I need a moment to return to the world where I am.
Her pictures speak much more than words can express, and it is my great pleasure and honor to invite you dear Readers, to meet Maloe, one unique artist, amazing friend and truly great human!
How is the artistic process like there? Do you see an object / person / landscape first and then the idea comes up? Or is it upside down?
Maloe: I have a chaotic brain, never have a plan, just start with something and search for the song what covers my mood from that moment.
Your mantra?
Maloe: down to earth girl, I don’t believe in mantra’s.
Currently, the best place for you in SL?
Maloe: my sim, my private home, am sort of a hermit.
A question that moves you right now …
Maloe: where, what, with whom … shall I do radicle changes in my life? Do I have the courage for this? Do I have to move on and say goodbye to the past? I have to figure this out…
Is there a work of art in your life that particularly impressed you?
Maloe: Woman in blue reading by Johan Vermeer, its not such a big painting hanging in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, but it sanded out from all the other paintings around it, and I was drawn to it cached by that amazing color blue, you can only see on the real painting.
What is art for you – now completely independent of the usual definitions?
Maloe: art is for me something that catches me, flabbergasts me, I cant stop looking at, or music that moves me to tears and let it play on repeat, what makes me happy and gives me the thought to create things by myself.
Maloe: what I make is not so difficult to understand I just hope they feel the emotion in the pictures I make and they can be interpret it on their own emotions on that moment.
Do you think that you can make a difference with your art?
Maloe: we all create something … so yes, but not all can be considered as art and than we get that question again what’s art? What I see as art can be total different for others and been seen as rubbish.
Maloe: creativity giving a balance in your life, gives us hope, art isn’t always about beauty it can be dark and edgy, it can be shocking beautiful or shocking repulsive.
*When I joined Second Life in 2007 a new world opened for me, because I never played games or joined any social network site. Second life was best of both worlds, at least for me and I am sure for many others.
After creating little Maloe, my Barbie doll, my pixel soul, I discovered the possibility of making snapshots and I started to make a graphic diary of Maloe’s journey in Second Life, showing the emotions she experienced in this pixel world. I think I succeeded in doing this by using some post processing in Photoshop.
I am not a woman of many words, I try to express myself, my feelings, my passion and probably my dark side through my pictures.” – Maloe Vansant
Gem Price has been in Second Life since May 4, 2008. A thoughtful hiker, trained in science and math, strongly tied to everything to do with nature, cosmos and earth, from astronomy to geology, who spends his free time traveling the world, taking photos and mostly creating digital sceneries, and summaries of the fractals.
In Second Life he found the opportunity to expand and present his passion for creating fractals thanks to digital tools.
As the Gem says: “Nature is subject to physical rules that apply everywhere, regardless of the size of things, and on earth they design landscapes by repeating shapes or movements from gigantic size to the smallest detail: dunes, waves, branches , clouds, rivers … The world of fractals is also dominated by mathematical functions that, like physics in nature, make it possible to create objects whose properties are repeated on any scale. “
This is Gem’s passion for fractals: thanks to the power and purity of the mathematical concept, creating images whose complexity can be reminiscent of natural beings, objects or landscapes.
And this is reflected in his high quality work that he presents in Second Life. His latest exhibition can be seen on the island of Akimitsu as part of “ The Borderless Project, ” sponsored by Akiko Kinoshi, owner and curator, who writes:
“The Borderless Project” is an 8-level, interactive digital art exhibition wherein we play with light: reflections, structures, movement, creation and evolution.. With sounds and music to match the emotions brought to life by the multi-talented team of artists and scripters. The Borderless Project derives much of its inspiration from teamLAB founded in Japan in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko, and now a series of multinational installations throughout the world. The Borderless Project, in Second Life, explores what we can do within this world where gravity is unimportant, physics is negotiable, and magic is possible!”
Gem’s levels contain a multitude of thought-provoking spaces such as: Souls, Petals, Lumen, Beads, Dream, Marbles, Jungle, Stream, Lamps, and many more. And these are only 2 of the 8 levels of The Borderless Project. The whole Borderless Team of Magicians are: Betty Tureaud, Gem Preiz, Delain Canucci, Thoth Jantzen, Mitsuko Kytori, Blaise Timtam and Akiko Kinoshi. There are many other levels to explore and all the levels are designed to react to movement and are accompanied by music, sounds and media that allow you to completely immerse yourself in the experience.
All in all, The Borderless Project is a fantastic exhibition and experience that no one should miss and everyone should take some time to journey into these worlds!
I personally got to know Gem a few years ago, primarily through the exhibitions he presented in SL.
True, I have to admit that apart from this interview, I didn’t often have the opportunity to chat with Gem for a long time because he is very cautious and is more of an observer who pulls himself in the background and rarely starts chatting with others first. This interview opened the door for me to get to know the Gem a little better and gave me an insight into the world of his thoughts and his life. I feel very grateful and deeply honored for this opportunity.
I took the liberty of asking Akiko Kinoshi how it is to work with Gem, as I know that she values him very much and has carried out several projects with Gem, to which she replied:
“I met Gem at one of his fractal art openings some years ago, he greeted me in Japanese, I greeted him in French and that was the beginning…Gem is a wonderful artist with great depth who loves to learn new things and then apply his vast experience to personalize it. The Borderless Project is our 4th project together: he installed ‘Skyscrapers’ then ‘Arcadia’ followed by ‘Journey to the Center of a Fractal Earth’ and finally his 2 levels of Borderless. Gem is a total professional as well as a great friend. Humble, self-effacing and generous, he is the ultimate team-player with a great sense of humor whom everyone loves to be around.”
Gem’s personality inspires me, his way of thinking, his complex and broad knowledge, as well as the numerous exhibitions that he presents in Second Life, generate *wow effect * again and again and give me a feeling of the vastness and immeasurable size of the world we are living and the huge cosmos. It is not uncommon for me to find this size as well as the extension of the horizon to generate the necessary distance, which I consider to be very important in order to see things in everyday life from a different perspective. His work has an indescribable power to absorb knowledge, feelings and outlook on life as well as the theory of being, to question and expand it.
Therefore, I can only warmly recommend everyone reading this interview to visit the Borderless Project exhibition and get to know Gem Preiz.
Gem: “long comme un jour sans pain” (French saying which means approx. “boring like a day without bread”). It applies to the art I enjoy in RL every day in reading, paintings in exhibitions or found when surfing on the net, listening to music etc., but also to my own hobbies : creating fractal or digital images, RL photography, and building surreal environments in metaverses, mainly SL.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Gem: from anything which makes me feel insignificant : Nature, Universe, Time, Mankind considered as a whole organized entity, are among the themes I like to illustrate or refer to in my exhibitions or builds.
What is your work about?
Gem: about making an individual (me or a spectator) face a disturbing dimension (spatial or temporal), and lead to questions about our (Mankind) position in the scale of complexity of the Universe (or of our human society), and thus our ability to understand it. In order to achieve this, I try to make the spectators feel overwhelmed by the environment in which I place them : its size, scale or level of details of what I show (e.g. Temples in 2013, Polychronies in 2014, Metropolis in 2015, Heritage in 2016, Sapiens in 2018)
How is the artistic process like there? Do you see an object / person / landscape first and then the idea comes up? Or is it upside down?
Gem: what I create is out of reality, and mostly unrealistic. Fractal images by nature, and even my builds never intend to reproduce reality, but I try to evoke the latter through what I create. As far as fractals are concerned, I produce many images of different styles and I pick up among what I produce, series of images which can illustrate the themes I want to develop. There is obviously a link : if I finalize an image, it is because unconsciously it talks to my mind, and I would likely find a way to include it in something exhibited. As far as builds are concerned, initially I created them to stage the fractals and emphasize them (e.g. Cathedral Dreamer in 2014, No Frontiers in 2017), but more and more they become a creation by themselves (e.g. The Anthropic Principle in 2017, Skyscrapers and Arcadia in 2020).
Gem: difficult. It would be more likely a question than a saying. I love the way Hubert Reeves (Candian astrophysician) questions the Future : in the scale of complexity, from the elementary particles to the Human body and conscience, what is the next step ? … and without answer, I would stick to an Haiku by Ozaki Hôsai that I recently read and loved
“On the tip of a grass
facing the infinite sky
an ant”
Currently, the best place for you in SL?
Gem: Borderless project in Akimitsu Sim, where some people including me exhibit installations in the spirit of TeamLab Japan (project initiated in SL by Akiko Kinoshi). Otherwise the places I visit most frequently at the moment are Art Galleries (depending on what is displayed of course), and shows (particles based or not).
A question that moves you right now …
Gem: my main concerns at the moment are RL : Violence, Inequalities, Social Networks negative aspects.
Is there a work of art in your life that particularly impressed you?
Gem: Many, among which some I often come back to : Charles Dickens works, John Martin or Thomas Cole paintings. I don’t know why, England has always had a great influence on me.
What is art for you – now completely independent of the usual definitions?
Gem: regardless definitions, schools, trends, etc. … I completely assimilate Art to the act of creating. The artist is the one who creates. Then someone else can appreciate, praise, value, judge, like, dislike, feel, think, whatever. But to do something out of nothing : that is art for me.
Was there a key experience or has the artist profession always been your dearest wish?
Gem: though I always appreciated art, especially literature and music in the first times and then painting, I came to creating by myself only 10 years ago, pretty much all of a sudden. At that time there was a conjunction in my RL life of lots of time available, digital tools that I discovered, and SL as an environment where to display my works.
Do you feel understood with your art?
Gem: I use to introduce my works with exhibition notecards. I am cartesian, I like to explain, argue, clarify. So “understood” in the meaning of what do I evoke or what do I mean ? Yes. Understood in term of praising or liking, well … people are kind in SL.
Do you think that you can make a difference with your art?
Gem: Honestly with the images only, I’m not sure. I might be able to create or share a feeling, an emotion thanks to the immersive power of large scale images and thanks to the awe-provoking theme of the Universe that I frequently illustrated with fractals. But I feel more comfortable in sharing thoughts or concerns by the mean of words. I tried twice to link my fractals with stories I wrote (e.g. Wrecks in 2016 and The Anthropic principle in 2017) and almost always join an extensive notecard of explanation (e.g. Gemmy’s World in 2014 or Demiurge in 2018). Adding selected pieces of music to complement the atmosphere has always be another mean to establish the connection with the spectators (e.g. Rhapsody in blue fractals in 2015 or No Frontiers in 2017)
Gem: referring to what I answered to a previous question, I think everyone is able to be or become a creator. in my RL I have known kids writing tales, a marketing director becoming illustrator for children, a doctor in medicine and a tax expert turning into glass blowing, banking executives becoming painter or creator of glass beads jewelry, many many examples of people non educated in Art but driven by the thirst of creating. And the results are often amazing ! Unfortunately too many artists who would have loved to live from their art cannot achieve their dream. A friend of mine’s uses to say : you cannot be rich if you’re an artist, but you can be an artist if you’re rich.
Do you have any role models? If yes, which?
Gem: Apart from all great RL artists I love, I have always been specially impressed by artists who were able to create a complete world through their works, either by creating any single element of it (e.g. Tolkien in RL literature) or thanks to such a different vision of an existing world that they create a new one in parallel (e.g. Melusina Parkin’s extensive and remarkable photographic work in SL)
Are there any topics that you are particularly interested in implementing?
Gem: Thanks to Akiko’s Borderless project, I learnt a lot about lights in SL and how to use scripts to manage them. I would like to go further with these tools, by themselves, or to better display my fractals works. I also greatly appreciated to work with Delain Canucci to improve my exhibition “Journey to the center of a fractal Earth” thanks to her subtle and wonderful particles. All this can bring life and movement to my installations, and that is something which was missing in them, I think.
Gem: I would answer “the scale” of what I propose, which emphasizes the immersive dimension and enables the spectators to forget that my fractals are 2D works. But the scale would be a nonsense without the complexity of the patterns, which also gets the spectators lost in the sceneries.
What was the best advice you have ever received in SL?
Gem: “forget what people think”
Yournext projects, exhibitions. Where your art can be seen?
Gem: I will be part of virtual art biennale 2022 in Amerika, Germany (project promoted and managed by Art Blue and Juliette Surrealdreaming on Craftworld metaverse). In SL, I am slowly preparing an exhibition of fractals on a science-fiction theme. I have no idea when it would be ready. Concerning my personal gallery, I recently closed it (temporarily) cause it needed to be totally reshaped.
“Educated in science and mathematics, I have always been fond of anything related to Nature, Cosmos and Earth, from astronomy to geology, and also a contemplative walker who spends his leisure time traveling around the world (not enough though), taking photographs (a lot), and mostly creating digital sceneries,abstracts, and fractals.
Nature is governed by physical rules which apply everywhere, regardless the size of things. On Earth, they design landscapes, repeating shapes or motions from the huge size to the tiny detail : dunes, waves, branches, clouds, rivers … The world of fractals is, in the same way, ruled by Mathematics functions which, as Physics do in Nature, enable to create objects which features repeat themselves at every scale. There lies my passion for fractals : create thanks to the power and pureness of the Mathematical concept, images the complexity of which can suggest Nature beings, objects or sceneries.
I hope you will enjoy the diversity of shapes and colors that fills my works, as a reflection of Nature’s one.” – Gem Preiz

Catherine Nikolaidis has been in Second Life since February 8, 2007. She is an active photographer and blogger manager – studiOneiro & Consent.
When I first saw the photos of Catherine, I immediately felt attracted and excited. The way Catherine plays with shadows, expressing the signals and intensity, how she creates with subtle and detailed that makes the complexibilty of her work mind-blowing.
Catherine bring the Contrast, Tones (Dark & Light), Shapes, Texture and Composition in harmony, and the emotions that she convey with her photos are just as beautiful as her personality.
With her Black & White photos, Catherine sends powerful messages and everything about her photography has style, grace, sensuality, beauty & attractivity.
I am enthusiastic about her work, her personality that shines and arouses a feeling of person who really know what she is doing and why and is deeply earthed. Catherine loves above all the music, she is strongly inspired by moods and feelings that music provide. With her work she expresses sensuality, senses, love, devoted of catching the perfect moment and expressing the dreams.
She is one of those personalities who can indeed see art everywhere, and who may make the world we live in a better one, someone who always strives to be a better person, helps others and stands up for the positive in life .
It is my absolute honor and deep inner pleasure to invite all readers of this interview to meet Catherine Nikolaidis!
Thank you for bringing us in our Second Life the beauty of Black & White photography, Catherine!
On January 23, 2010, Awesome visited Second Life for the first time.
Awesome Fallen is not only a great artist, she is very socially active.
She belongs to the group of heroes of our time who deal with the loss and saving of lives of others every day!
My deepest respect, as well as sincere thanks for your service for others, Awesome!
I am just as enthusiastic about her works of art as about her personality.
The colors, the depths, the ideas, the rationale, the story and the feelings that grow in me while watching Awesome´s photographs range from deep sadness and inner emptiness to the smile of a child and the comforting feeling of being carried and felt with almighty love.
When I asked what is art for her, Awesome told me “the ability to connect with other´s emotions”.
In her work is all always about feelings, emotions, concepts.
Awesome, gives the observer an insight into her emotional world, her “way of life” emotionally connecting with others.
I take the opportunity and would like to cordially invite everyone to look at Awesome’s works of art in peace and to make their own experience.
In simple word´s enjoy the beauty of Awesome´s Fallen Art!
Etamae signed up for Second Life on January 28, 2016.
A life without art would be a sterile living space for Etamae.
She has no standards for her work, but tends to be expressive creations. These arise from things she has seen, from the creations of others who have inspired her to transform them into something else.
It is very important to her to emphasize that it is not about doing something “more or better”, but rather: creating something else, and she feels deeply connected and grateful to the creators of the works of art that have inspired her to create something new.
Even if it is difficult for her to define her own work, she describes the inner urge to create something to satisfy one’s own feelings and emotions.
Etamae has strong visions, occasionally dreams of things she would like to create and wakes up to the realization that she cannot always reproduce them. So strong is her inner urge to be artistically active and to develop further.
The creative spark of her partner Imaginary Footprint often surprises, astonish and inspire Etamea to the greatest possible extent.
Her social engagement and competence is shown by her RL activity as she has been working with adults with learning difficulties for many years and she knows that creating new forms and creative activity not only intensifies coordination and concentration, but also increase own self-esteem.
She also firmly believes, that each and every one of us can produce something creative, no matter what medium one uses.
Etamea as a very loving, friendly, open-minded and warm-hearted person. I recognize her passion in the color and shape variations used, and with her reinterpretations of certain works of art, she not only offers the viewer new perspectives, but also creates new feelings.
I understand her art as an for her necessary and ongoing process that allows her to embark on a spiritual journey by diversity of art.Etamae manages to reach us emotionally with her work and with this wonderful motivation, she is always enthusiastic when it comes to creating something new.
Etamae: Without a great deal of meaning – I cannot see a life without art – all around me would be barren. Not to be able to see others work, hear their music read or hear their words – to have no outlet for raw emotion, no color, no joyful feelings, no music, or dance, no vision, no love. It would be a barren place to live for sure and I do not think I would want a life like that.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Etamae: I think if you have eyes that see and an imagination that lets you see a little further then there is inspiration everywhere, the same applies to when you hear some truly moving music or lyrics, from the smallest thing that takes your eye to the wonderfully all encompassing world we live in – there is always something ‘just around the corner’ waiting to be found.
What is your work about?
Etamae: I guess to answer that truthfully is – I am not sure – I guess I have a need to create. Its emotion, it is what feelings are inside of me at that particular time – it’s a taste or a tingle, an angle or a view – it’s raw and it is honest – it’s simply eta – and it is difficult to define your own work.
How is the artistic process like there? Do you see an object / person / landscape first and then the idea comes up? Or is it upside down?
Etamae: I will take a photograph or many photographs and maybe there will be one or two that stand out for me full of possibilities – from that small seed something might grow – more often it fades – but sometimes, just sometimes… I also dream what I would like to create… rarely can I reproduce that though!
Your mantra?
Etamae: Live and let live I guess – I have no special mantra Violet we are all continually evolving so what may apply one day will not the next.
Currently, the best place for you in SL?
Etamae: Today, I find I am in the best possible place which is by the side of an exceptionally talented and modest man – Imaginary Footprints – his creative spark amazes and inspires me to greater heights – there are only a few people that truly leave a mark, l and for me, he is one of those people….So, we wander – bat about ideas and thoughts and generally have a great sharing.
Etamae: How is it in this day and age some still have the capacity to willingly wear blinkers?
Is there a work of art in your life that particularly impressed you?
Etamae: I have great admiration for Tracy Emin – her struggles and her determination to survive them inspire me – I also enjoy Piet Mondrian, Gustav Klimt and a dozen others – never one single piece at any one time – Within this virtual medium of SL there are so many exceptional creators – It never ceases to amaze me how others use their talents.
What is art for you – now completely independent of the usual definitions?
Etamae: It’s like a marriage – sometimes blissful, sometimes a struggle but always a partnership.
Was there a key experience or has the artist profession always been your dearest wish?
Etamae: I have always enjoyed creating – I worked for many years with adults who have a learning disability and being able to create in any form improves the hand/eye coordination, concentration and feeling of self-worth. Encaustic art is one of my favorite mediums as the results are instant – a great thing for someone who might have low concentration levels and if you could see the joy that creation brings then you would say ‘yes’s I understand completely!’ From those beginnings my love of trying to produce something worthwhile started.
Etamae: I love the whole frustrating process – from the finding of the subject matter to the last touch,, and when I have finally created something it’s rather satisfying.
Do you feel understood with your art?
Etamae: Violet, I don’t really look to be ‘understood’ as I think anything you put out in the public domain is open to each viewers perspective – and that is really very cool that someone might ‘see’ something else within my work, I really like that thought, besides that I am not sure I understand myself never mind the art I produce.
Do you think that you can make a difference with your art?
Etamae: If you mean something political – then no, not really. Some of my work I pair with musical tracks on my Flickr page and I think the music and maybe how I title it says more than my art does. On the plus side some of my work can brighten up a dull wall and maybe raise a smile or an eyebrow at times.
Etamae: Well Violet, that depends on what the word ‘art’ means to each individual. For me the word covers most types of creation – and as I believe that each of us can produce something creative, no matter what medium we use or however we view ourselves, then yes, I guess we are all ‘artists’ in our own way.
Do you have any role models? If yes, which?
Etamae: There are those that I admire but there are no ‘role models’ as if I tried to emulate another’s work in any way then I would lose my own uniqueness – There are times that I see something and think to myself “ouu, I would like to use that idea in some way, change it to make it my own’ but as for a dedicated role model or models – no.
What does the term art mean to you?
Etamae: For me art is something that has been produced during those creative times where you can lose yourself in music, art, poetry, dance – those times that take you a little higher – art is a spiritual thing where the creation takes over from the normal ‘daily’ ideas and tasks – even for just a few moments.
Are there any topics that you are particularly interested in implementing?
Etamae: I sort of ‘fall’ into my creative times – in SL I dabble in a few primmy/sculpty mediums – I am no mesh creator – I appreciate that I am asked to show my work within SL as I know how time consuming it is to keep an SL gallery vibrant (that’s an art in itself!)
So, to answer you, I am not sure what topic will take my fancy at any one time – my focus can flit from one idea to another, but when I do get an Idea in this virtual realm I try to make it happen.
Etamae: Enthusiasm! I am very enthusiastic once and idea has seeded and I think that drives me on to do the best I can.
What was the best advice you have ever received in SL?
Etamae: I think possibly it would be to not to take yourself too seriously and keep things fun. Once the joy has left then its time to put the virtual paint brush on the shelf (for however long it takes) and stop committing to things that might stress you out.
Your next projects, exhibitions. Where your art can be seen?
12 June 2021 – 12 PM – “Variation” – The art of Etamae and Imaginary Footprints at Janus Gallery!
Born and bred in the UK, Etamae lives in the North West of England and first began taking photographs within Secondlife in the summer of 2018.
With no set standard to her work eta has the tendency to knit expressive creations which are multi-layered and meaningful taken from the things she has seen and loved which have inspired her to transform them into something else – not more, nor better – simply different
Those creators like Mistero Hifeng, Theda Tammas, Cherry Manga and Meilo Minotaur (amongst others) and those that take those amazing mesh creations to provide us with installations to photograph cannot be thanked enough.
