Spencer Tunick Parody

desg90 · 08-19-2007, 01:16

I've been planning this for a few days already. For those who haven't yet read the other thread here's a copy/paste synthesis:

Those familiar with the world of photography are likely to know Spencer Tunick's famous installations. They are about thousands of nude people posing on public places and important landmarks. This being, of course, some form of "contemporary abstract art", where nudity stops being a taboo when every concept behind it becomes heavily deviated.

As an amateur RL and virtual photographer, I would like to do the same inside EU. Obviously, avatars can't display full nudity, so it won't be a nude installation but an underwear installation. Even so, I'm playing a bit with conceptual nudity. People will have to wear newbie underwear.

Now, to clarify a few things about my concept of conceptual nudity.
N00b undies is as nude as anyone can go in EU because:
Nudity/n00b underwear = newborn life, vulnerability, shame, etc.
Which implies:

New born life: You just came to EU with that underwear.
Vulnerability / Shame: If you haven't changed your undies you are still a n00b. You haven't been able to buy better underwear (lack of money), therefore you can't buy better gear (lack of power).

The event will take place on September 15th at 23:00 MAT.
According to the poll's results, people would prefer the installation to be on the Oil Rig. I suspect some of them are Player Killers looking for some extra victims to tackle their way to a new ATH.
We've got our protection assured by the society "Happy Go Lucky".

Emery has offered to donate ME and cover issuing decay to anyone wishing to open wormholes for those lacking of their own TP chips. If you think you can help us, please mention it.

If anyone can help us in any way, post or PM me.

In conclusion: Present yourselves wearing n00b underwear at the Oil Rig on September 15th at 23:00 MAT, unless instructed otherwise.

Well, personally i hate pictures of people, people are ugly, inperfect and generally obtrusive.

Authough i do like some of MeatYards formal abstract involving a sitter.

Thanks for your support guys, it's greatly appreciated!

EKx, I agree, most of the time... people can just be that.
Maybe that's why your pictures display an empty room?

On the other hand... without people art would be an impossible concept.
And, you'd be surprised at how many artworks I've seen that NEED people in them in order to be complete.

In this case, it's all about people.
With no avatars... there's no picture...

indeed, people are and create life, which is what art is

I've just "participated" at the Sweat and Go Seek event.
There were 55 "nude" people on Zychion. I must say they were quite a bit to at least circle the Rig.

I wonder if I'll be able to convince even pore people to come on September 15th?

Just to refresh things a bit...
How will I be able to get to the Rig?

Maybe if I log in 2 hours beforehand?
Maybe if I sweat my way to a TP chip?
Maybe if someone opens a wormhole for me?

Decisions, decisions....

wormhole would 100% be best way to get eveyrone there @ once... meet @ like billys or some shit.

Yeah, I just need someone with a TP chip willing to open some wormholes for free. Well, I've posted this a month in advance. I think people should have enough time to plan how to get to the Rig.
