Heute Morgen, Fragestunde mit Dorena_AI..

[22:21] Dorena1 Verne: Darf Kunst politische Motive haben?
[22:21] Dorena die Weise: Ja, Kunst darf politische Motive haben – und sie hatte sie in der Geschichte immer wieder.

**Begründung:**

1. **Freiheit der Kunst:**
In modernen Demokratien gilt die Kunstfreiheit als wesentliches Grundrecht (z.B. in Deutschland Artikel 5, Absatz 3 GG). Das bedeutet, Künstler*innen dürfen sich ausdrücken, wie sie möchten – auch politisch.

2. **Geschichtlicher Kontext:**
Schon immer hat Kunst gesellschaftliche und politische Themen aufgegriffen. Denken wir an Banksys Graffiti, Bertolt Brechts Theaterstücke oder Francisco Goyas „Desastres de la Guerra“. Kunst war oft Vehikel für Kritik, Protest oder Visionen des Wandels.

3. **Funktion von Kunst:**
Kunst regt zum Nachdenken an, fordert Diskussionen heraus, hinterfragt Macht und Normen. Sie erlaubt es, schwierige Themen auf emotionale und kreative Art zu vermitteln.

4. **Keine Pflicht, aber Möglichkeit:**
Kunst muss nicht politisch sein – sie kann es aber. Die Offenheit, auch politisch Stellung zu beziehen, ist Teil ihres Wesens.

Die Frage warum aufgrund scheinbarer Neutralität ein Grid meine Werke ablehnt, habe ich mir verkniffen, die Antwort kenne ich selber...
.................................................................................................................................
This morning, Q&A with Dorena_AI...

[10:21 PM] Dorena1 Verne: Is art allowed to have political motives?

[10:21 PM] Dorena the Wise: Yes, art is allowed to have political motives – and it has had them throughout history.

**Justification:**

1. **Freedom of Art:**

In modern democracies, freedom of art is considered a fundamental right (e.g., in Germany, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law). This means that artists are free to express themselves as they wish – including politically.

2. **Historical Context:**

Art has always addressed social and political issues. Think of Banksy's graffiti, Bertolt Brecht's plays, or Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War." Art has often been a vehicle for criticism, protest, or visions of change.


3. **Function of Art:**

Art stimulates thought, provokes discussion, and questions power and norms. It allows difficult topics to be conveyed in an emotional and creative way.

4. **Not an Obligation, but an Option:**

Art doesn't have to be political—but it can be. The openness to taking a political stance is part of its very nature.

I refrained from asking why a grid rejected my work due to its apparent neutrality; I already know the answer...

Hey everyone, next week May 1st I will be on vacation coming back May 11. I am going to Spain, Portugal, Ibiza and Gibraltar UK on a cruise.

During that time i wont be in world much if at all, but if there are any problems with the grid send me a message. I will have internet on and off the ship. Below are the several ways to get in touch. Rocky one will also be around via Team Viewer or Discord.

Previous version we added KDU...which was sl only. Quality of graphics is much better. Also added zoom with alt+Z to the selected object kind of how blender works. I changed my personal to alt+. works pretty good.
In this version I fixed a couple of good bugs
1) killed the spam from the non suitcase inventory folder that overwhelms robust logging. Totally unneccessary being that if you use a suitcase...there is no reason to list it where you are visiting at all bieng that you can't access it anyway!
2) Thank you dan banner for helping me fix AIs error that created a little spam...sl uses it we don't!

Liebe Freunde der Kunst und Kultur, liebe OpenSim-Freunde,
in diesem Jahr feiern wir das Pangea Kunst- und Kulturfestival bereits zum fünften Mal – und eröffnen es in Köln. Das hat einen ganz besonderen Grund: 20 Jahre virtuelles Köln. Aus diesem Anlass wird Köln in diesem Jahr zur lebendigen Bühne der Kunst. Das Opening startet am 24.04.2026 um 11 AM SLT / 20 Uhr – mit unserem DJ Marlon Wayne, der den Auftakt musikalisch begleitet. Auf der Kölner Domplatte präsentieren sich nicht nur Künstlerinnen und Künstler mit ihren aktuellen Projekten. Anders als in den vergangenen Jahren geben in diesem Jahr auch die kreativen Köpfe des Pangea Grids sowie aus anderen OpenSim-Grids Einblicke in ihre Projekte, Sims und Ideenwelten – denn dieses Festival lebt von Vielfalt und dem gemeinsamen Gestalten. Die Pavillons und Ausstellungen sind dabei nicht nur Momentaufnahmen, sondern Ausgangspunkte für weiterführende Projekte, neue Sims und künstlerische Entwicklungen. Dafür danken wir von Herzen für so viel Kreativität. Zu den diesjährigen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern zählen unter anderem Cherry Manga, Tutz Zabelin, Tina Bey, Terra Merhyem und Nyx Breen, die ihre Arbeiten im Laufe des Jahres in entstehenden oder sich weiterentwickelnden Sims präsentieren. Ebenso freuen wir uns auf Künstlerinnen und Künstler sowie Kunstschaffende wie ArtBlue, Tryad Destiny, Loru Destiny, Juliette SurrealDreaming, Rage Darkstone, Kimm Starr, Ansjela Amat, Serafina Bollettie, Lampithaler Artist und Reyno Parx sowie viele weitere, die eindrucksvolle Einblicke in ihr künstlerisches Schaffen geben. Einige von ihnen entwickeln ihre Arbeiten weiter und sind bereits Teil der Perspektive für das Pangea Festival 2027. Besonders ehren wir Cleopata Rayal, die mit 88 Jahren mit ihren selbstgemalten Bildern und ihrer Lyrik einen besonderen Platz in einer der Art-Galerien in Köln einnimmt und dort ihre Werke präsentiert. Ein besonderer Moment des Innehaltens ist unserem Gedenkpavillon gewidmet. Dort erinnern wir an Künstler und Wegbegleiter, die nicht mehr unter uns sind: Torbens Asp, Veritas McMaster, Mal Burns, Luna Lunaria und Mimi Reich. Ihr Wirken bleibt Teil dieses Festivals. Zur kreativen Vielfalt zählen für uns auch die Erbauer der Karnevalswagen. Ihnen sowie allen beteiligten Grids und Buildern gilt unser besonderer Dank. So erwartet euch in diesem Jahr ein weiteres Highlight im November: Am 11.11., dem traditionellen Beginn der Karnevalssession, feiern wir eine besondere Karnevalseröffnung im Pangea Grid – ein Event, auf das wir uns schon jetzt freuen dürfen. Unser Dank gilt ebenso allen DJs und DJanes, Musikern sowie den vielen Menschen im Hintergrund, die mit ihrem technischen Support das Pangea Grid – und damit dieses Festival der Kunst und Kultur – überhaupt möglich machen. Ebenso bedanken wir uns herzlich bei der HG Safari und allen weiteren Unterstützern und Wegbegleitern. Im Laufe des Jahres erwarten euch nicht nur neue Eröffnungen beeindruckender Kreativsims sowie Kunst- und Informationsausstellungen in Köln, sondern auch zahlreiche Veranstaltungen, mit denen wir die teilnehmenden Künstlerinnen und Künstler ehren und ihre Werke lebendig werden lassen. Wir freuen uns auf ein Jahr voller Kunst, Begegnungen und gemeinsamer Momente – und auf euren Besuch.
Herzlichst euer Pangea Team
________________________________________________________________________________
Dear friends of art and culture, dear OpenSim friends,
this year we celebrate the Pangea Art and Culture Festival for the fifth time – and we are opening it in Cologne. There is a very special reason for this: 20 years of virtual Cologne. For this occasion, Cologne becomes a vibrant stage for art throughout the year. The opening will take place on April 24, 2026 at 11 AM SLT / 8 PM CET, featuring our DJ Marlon Wayne, who will musically accompany the start of the festival. On Cologne’s Domplatte, not only artists present their current projects. Unlike previous years, the creative minds of the Pangea Grid as well as other OpenSim grids will also offer insights into their projects, sims, and creative worlds – because this festival thrives on diversity and collaborative creation. The pavilions and exhibitions are not just snapshots, but starting points for ongoing projects, new sims, and artistic developments. For this, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such incredible creativity. Among the artists presenting larger-scale projects this year are Cherry Manga, Tutz Zabelin, Tina Bey, Terra Merhyem, and Nyx Breen, who will showcase their work over the course of the year in evolving or newly created sims. We are also delighted to feature contributions from ArtBlue, Tryad Destiny, Loru Destiny, Juliette SurrealDreaming, Rage Darkstone, Kimm Starr, Ansjela Amat, Serafina Bollettie, Lampithaler Artist and Reyno Parx, as well as many others, who offer inspiring insights into their artistic work. Some of them continue to develop their work and are already part of the perspective for the Pangea Festival 2027. We especially honor Cleopata Rayal, who at the age of 88 presents her self-painted artworks and poetry in one of the art galleries in Cologne. A special moment of remembrance is dedicated to our memorial pavilion, where we honor artists and companions who are no longer with us: Torbens Asp, Veritas McMaster, Mal Burns, Luna Lunaria, and Mimi Reich. Their legacy remains an integral part of this festival. Creative diversity also includes the builders of the carnival floats, to whom we extend our special thanks, along with all participating grids and builders. Another highlight awaits us in November: on November 11th, the traditional start of the carnival season, we will celebrate a special carnival opening in the Pangea Grid – an event we are already looking forward to. Our sincere thanks also go to all DJs, DJanes, musicians, and the many people working behind the scenes whose technical support makes the Pangea Grid – and thus this festival of art and culture – possible. We also warmly thank the HG Safari and all other supporters and companions along the way. Throughout the year, you can look forward not only to the opening of impressive new creative sims and art and information exhibitions in Cologne, but also to numerous events honoring participating artists and bringing their work to life. We look forward to a year full of art, encounters, and shared moments – and to your visit. Warm regards, your Pangea Team

HELP!

Grugs have invaded the scifi park in Virtual Beach! Will you help save humanity. Kill them Grugs!


Please note, this game Spax designed is for x engine and and an older version of opensim. 0.9.3 no longer support x engine. So if you experience any issues, please report them to me.

Click the teleport sign to the sci fi park, then find the sign next to the elevator, go up and have fun.

Update on the Mysterious Island
In 2026, a paleontologist and her boyfriend arrived on the island to conduct research on the "Pau na Xota" tribe. King Naxota agreed, but her boyfriend was taken prisoner, and she had to accept the tribe's rules. The last existing photo is of an acceptance ritual and a celebratory banquet. Of course, the banquet consisted of the body of a member of a rival tribe who was killed in battle. As far as is known, the paleontologist had to "please the king." But after a few weeks, there is no more news about the couple.

EDIT: Reading the comments, I see the need to redo the post. Version 2.0

Name The OSW Users You Most Respect
Who can you recommend as someone you think should be listened to and taken seriously? In other words, who has earned your respect? Try to think of not only those friends who share your views on things, but also those people who do not. (But please! Don't say which person is which, because Yikes!)

*The topic here is respect. The tone of all comments should, of course, be respectful as well. I'm not asking for the general opinions of the relative merits of those named. If you agree or disagree with someone's choice, please keep your opinion private. Thanks for respecting the guidelines.

*I wish it weren't necessary to say, but nobody needs to know, and likely doesn't care, that you don't like the post. Please, just move on. I'll respect you all the more for it. Thanks!

*Just to be clear, this is not a popularity contest. We are not voting people up or down. You might agree or disagree with the choice others make. Feel as great as you like about how your judgement is better than anyone's, but, really, we don't need to know.

I'm working on a project and looking for people to work with on it. But I think this exercise could be helpful to the OSW community at large in some way.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Eywa — Tree of Souls

In the world of Pandora, Eywa represents the spiritual connection between all living things.

This Tree of Souls was custom created for me by Lyric Alexander in 2009. It was never released or distributed — it has always been part of my original build. I remember asking Lyric if she could create it—she told me at the time how difficult it would be, but she was willing to try. She went on to bring it to life, along with the Helicoradian (accordion) plants used throughout the region. Thank you Lyric, and all the creators who worked on this project. You will find a note about it at landing.

More than a tree, it reflects living energy… a place to pause, reflect, and connect.

Come sit beneath the branches and feel it for yourself.
