Tonight we talk about Mistero Hifeng, and as I publish my posts also in the forum of ArtByte dedicated to the artists of the virtual world, it is appropriate that I introduce him.
Mistero Hifeng has been decorating the Second Life® sims for years with his sweet and exciting art.
He is defined by many as a romantic Italian artist, capable of transforming pixels into emotions.
In this post, I would like to share my experience on his renewed sim compared to the last time I visited it.
I shot a video letting me inspire it by his statues and the atmosphere that the sim suggested to me at the time.
Mistero has given me some of the beautiful artworks that I used to decorate Santa Maria dell’Isola di Tropea (I publicly thank him for this).
For more info about him, my ECLIPSE Magazine’s article here:
I agree this is one of the best machinima ever made in Second Life®.
I remember that the first person who showed me this video was Solkide Auer and I was impressed by the author’s ability to create a painting by Van Gogh through simple prims (at that time there was no mesh, the author recorded this video in 2007).
Machinima Author:Â Robbie Dingo
Created in 2007 and still among the very best Second Life machinimas ever made, you should definitely watch it now if you’ve never seen it before — and if you did a decade ago, absolutely worth watching again, and passing…
I record this video to thank all those who supported me in the re-opening of Santa Maria dell’Isola di Tropea (Timeless Memories).
You made donations, and you wrote me to thank me for choosing to keep the sim open to the public.
I am happy to share with you all beautiful moments of joy in this Mediterranean place set up by Elvira with great care and attention to detail.
The artistic installation by Maddy Schimitzau and Ciottolina Xue draws to a close. I think I’m not wrong in saying that it was a beautiful present that these two artists have done: emotions, metaphorical meanings and food for thought about the dream, always fascinating topic of conversation and study.
I recorded a video, to future memory, of this suggestive artistic installation, playing between music and images. I hope you thrills you, as it has excited me doing it.
“The Eye” Art Gallery in Second Life® (owned by Mona Byte) is hosting the art of Aloisio Congrejo.
Congrejo is an Italian artist already known for having organized several artistic performances in recent years and for having contributed in carrying out important projects, such as 2Lei – About violence against women.
Speaking of Congrejo’s art, I can say he realizes “3D pictures”: in fact, starting from an idea, he develops the image, giving it depth while maintaining the classical structure of a painting.
This aspect is interesting because it defines a particular style that, in Second Life, I have not seen frequently.
The particularity of Congrejo’s style is also due to the choice of geometric shapes and colors that give vivacity and thickness to the artistic work as a whole. Particularly in this last artistic exhibition, Congrejo uses photographs taken in SL®, geometric shapes, and colors.
Like for the colors, the artist gives prominence to them making seem “thrown on the canvas in a causal way” to achieve an artistic effect.
Having also visited other previous exhibitions of this artist, I think I have seen an evolution in his style: to be an artist above all geometric (therefore an abstractionist) to be an artist who is able to exploit different techniques mixing them together in a harmonic way.
The scenarios that the artist describes are certainly metaphorical; the feelings he transmits are never negative but have an evident positive value. The human figures are stylized, represented by mannequins, all the same. Congrejo seems to emphasize more shapes and colors than to humanity in general.
I must say that the overall impact of this art exhibition on “The Eye” is positive and I personally really like the artistic evolution that Congrejo is making, so I hope that he will proceed in this direction also for the future.
On the occasion of my visit, I shot a video, to a future memory of this art exhibition.
