Gnossienne Groggy Deep by Juria Yoshikawa

Today I got an invite "Gnossienne Groggy Deep" by Juria Yoshikawa. Lance Shields, the person behind the ava has been away from SL for some months, starting a MBA. (Thank heaven my graduation is cleared) But now Juria is back (for a bit?) and what a comeback! Its a very touchy installation! Follow this slurl and experience it yourself:) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Benvolio/154/122/625

Ewa Aska joined me on this trip! I think she enjoyed it as much as i did!

Here is Jurias notecard:

In the mind, there is a place just out of reach between knowing and feeling. When we first wake, we have glimpses of it: colors, fears, textures, childhood smells, organic sensations, birth and death. A mix of illogical but powerful things that defines us, if in very subtle ways.

Gnossienne No.1, a piano piece by Erik Satie partially inspired me to do an environment that combines feelings and elements of a mind in semiwakefuless. I took the liberty to remix Satie's song - stretching, reversing, speeding up - attempting to cast a new sense of time and mood. I also made a very simple outfit to be worn in the space to accentuate one's avatar's position in the space and the light.

Time of day
----------------------------------
I find the color of the space works best in evening (10:00pm) or early morning (3:30am). But feel free to play with your Environment Editor to find the light setting that suits you best.
