Studying art as someone who creates in Second Life has changed how I understand space, material, and presence. My practice doesn’t sit neatly inside the traditional idea of the studio. It moves between screens, avatars, regions, textures, objects, scripts, photographs, video, and lived digital experience. Second Life isn’t just a tool I use to display … Read more
The Self Being project has made me think differently about the value of ordinary, repeated tasks. Not the dramatic parts of making art. Not the polished final outcome. The day-in, day-out actions that often feel mediocre while they’re happening: setting things up, adjusting details, documenting work, moving materials around, checking sound levels, thinking through space, … Read more
The V&A’s Rising Voices exhibition brings together over 70 works by 40 artists from 25 countries across Asia, Australia and the Pacific. It is about time.

The 21st Raglan Shire ArtWalk runs across five Second Life regions from 17 May to 14 June 2026. Over 100 artists, hedgerow galleries, sculpture parks, poetry slams, and a kite parade. Virtual worlds are not dead. They are just quietly building culture.

This last year has been one of the most intense and formative periods of my art life. Not just because of what I made, but because of what the practice became. It stopped being a collection of pieces and started being an ecosystem: physical, digital, written, performed, archived, and very much alive.
Fiction, essays, and reflections on art, digital culture, memory, and speculative worldbuilding. Original short fiction including cli-fi, dark literary fiction, and collaborative work. The written arm of the SL Random Art Crew practice.
The Met and the Neue Galerie have announced a landmark merger for 2028, bringing Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I and over $1.5 billion in Austrian and German modernist art under one roof. Commentary on custody, restitution, legacy, and what happens when a jewel-box museum joins a giant.
Second Life art sits in a direct line from pixel art, through 3D digital environments, to VR and immersive contemporary media.

It is a living art medium where avatar, space, sound, performance, architecture, social presence, and audience interaction all … Read more
