Uses of Walls

The Wall of Dolls, an artistic installation in Milan, Italy, is a poignant and sober statement that marks and condemns violence against women. The wall features dolls of various kinds, symbols of childhood innocence, alongside the names of murdered women, as well as photos, posters, and poems, Some of these detail statistics on crimes against women, and some of them powerful statements written by survivors.

In 1998, the United Nations Development Fund for Women organized a photo exhibit that contrasted a "wall of shame", focusing on women's plight and suffering, with a "wall of hope", showcasing initiatives to end violence against women. More information about the Wall of Hope Campaign: https://www.youtube.com/@wallofhopecampaign512

In Second Life, the collaborative arts group, 2Lei organized a yearly event from 2009 to at least 2019 on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The event may or may not have involved the use of walls. I imagine it did, for art work and the like. More about the event: https://modemworld.me/2019/11/19/no-violence-the-2lei-10th...

Not surprisingly, there is "Sexual violence and harassment in the metaverse." https://audri.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/EN-AUDRi-Sexu...

Enough of walls. I prefer a waterfall -- a symbol of strength, resilience, cleansing, or even tranquility. Peace.

SIM beacon is offline but still have acess for public. just dont mind the pixel dust. Redoing the region entirely . bringing stuffs from the time on GCG - Tromsø RL city replica - it will be a long and complex job - will take time, specially when I`ve been more playing ESO than being online on opensim but I will get there :)

The only thing you will not find at Dismayland is BOREDOME. Everywhere you go, there are curious things to attract and distract. RIDES to shake you and GAMES to BREAK you. You've never experienced a chaotic holiday like this.

The 'System Avatar' requirement has been permanently dropped; it was a fun little inconvenience during the BETA TEST. Height and Flight restrictions are friendlier than they were before.

N E U ✨ BK Mode hat jetzt Schmuckfieber

BK Mode legt noch eine Schippe Glamour drauf: Ab sofort funkelt es im Shopbereich wie in einer Schatzkammer, die jemand mit Stilgefühl und einem Hauch Frechheit kuratiert hat. Halsketten, Armbänder, Ohrringe, Bauchkettchen, Fußkettchen, Sonnenbrillen und Kopfschmuck – kurz gesagt: alles, was dein Avatar braucht, um nicht einfach nur da zu sein, sondern aufzufallen.

Hier findest du keine langweiligen Standardstücke, sondern kleine Attitüden zum Anziehen. Mal verspielt, mal edel, mal „Ich bin heute die Hauptrolle“. Und das Beste: Die Auswahl ist so groß, dass du garantiert etwas findest, das zu deinem Stil passt – oder zu dem Stil, den du heute ausprobieren willst. Und das schönste dabei, immer wieder kommen neue Stücke dazu.

💎 Warum reinschauen?

Weil dein Avatar mehr verdient als „geht schon“.
Weil Accessoires die schnellste Art sind, ein komplettes Outfit umzudrehen.
Weil ein bisschen Funkeln nie schadet.
Und weil Neugier belohnt wird – versprochen.

🌟 Fazit

BK Mode hat jetzt Schmuck. Viel Schmuck. Schönen Schmuck. Frechen Schmuck.
Geh stöbern – und lass dich überraschen, wer du plötzlich bist, wenn du ein neues Stück anlegst.

Last night, the wonderful and generous (if not mischievous!) Jimmy Olsen spent time teaching me how to make static EEP skies. He doesn't like what I am doing because he wants it to look slightly blurry for more "realism," but mine are not for that. I am thinking about them for doing events at the Playa, even manually changing them out during the events! Or maybe at an art festival! The sky is my canvas! During an art festival, you could share the work of others, changing them out periodically. Thanks for your time and patience, Jimmy! Now the fun begins!

I made a short webpage with a simple tutorial for those that want to play! https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/eep-fun...

The original thread that prompted me to open this one was deleted by the creator, therefore I am ending all further discussion about it. Sorry for deleting your posts, but due to the new situation there was no other way.

Someone commented on my last post that they had some of my mesh having issues with resizing. I want to always let people know...if you have an issue with the mesh, let me know. In the meantime, I have learned techniques (not mysteries for mesh creators, but I am new at it and slow) that prevent collapse and resizing texture issues. However, those things are always dependent on the piece, the original image that was used, and the texture itself. One of the reasons I include the textures with the pieces under contents is so that people can sharpen them, change the shading, etc. I don't always sharpen my textures. Some of the original images I used are done in styles like impressionistic painters. This make them look differently, but they are consistent upon resizing. I made a little webpage demonstrating some of this, for those that are interested. https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/meshing...

Got a pic before the whole sim crashed, ONE of my earlier AI builder spheres still had non return prims and my sim went 370,000 prims over limit and crashed. Lost a months work but it will be fun to rebuild and then more carefully approach AI...
