Phoenix viewer blog6/23/2023 ![]() Basically, simple and easy rather than rigorous and precise. So, the viewer settings are essentially the same for each test across all versions. I use presets for the 512- and 128-meter draw distance tests. But the Green Room numbers in my skybox are down. The numbers I get say this version is definitely faster. So, I measured some numbers and dug up the previous versions’ numbers. This recent Firestorm Viewer update is said to help with performance. So, I need to revise my measurements to keep them consistent with previous measurements. So I went back to check my settings and found it indeed was limiting the upper limit of FPS. It came to my attention that Firestorm 6.3.3 either changed my graphics setting for Enable Vsync or the viewer handles it differently.

While few designers are designing for Slink these days, and the number is likely to decrease, there are numerous designers designing for Slink and lots of clothes for Slink. ![]() And there is a huge inventory of clothes for the Slink bodies. The Slink bodies will continue to work for years to come. I suppose I may do reviews of the various bodies as I look at them. But I am glad I purchased Cinn & Chai during the recent sale. While I had been thinking of a change to Cinn & Chai they are part of the Slink empire that is closing. So, now I will be looking at alternatives. I do not like the body because of how the shoulders are made and how the joints animate. The leader in the field is unquestionably Maitreya. While I have not been paying a lot of attention to other bodies, I have from time to time looked at them and played with demos. I am saddened by the closing and to learn of the stresses in Siddean’s life. I believe her bodies have always been and are the technological leaders in the field. Maybe it’s not even a thing at all.I appreciate Siddean and her contributions to the Second Life community. It is so many things that we cannot touch. ![]() The artist? But isn’t the artist’s art the manifestation of a prior grief? Wouldn’t this person’s unrestrained outpourings of emotion be a spontaneous demonstration and need to be contained and given a thoughtful name and provided adequate time to promote? Surely it should not be permitted in the same venue? Isn’t there a massive conflict of interests? How many monuments have been born into us? When should we stop asking questions about gathering? If we’re reading this, our gaze is passing over the surface of a text. What is there to read here? Posture? The long movements of ritual? Tiny adjustments that cannot be concealed? Have you ever tried to touch a gathering, a play, a funeral? Which are its most untouchable parts? Is a funeral a kind art? Are we never supposed to touch art? Does touching art change it? Does touching it alter how we gather? Who’s allowed to sob loudly in a museum? The viewer? Certainly not. A SERIES OF QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS ABOUT ART AND POETICS These words have been crafted without you in mind. Through rigor and critical inquiry, this group of eight poets of varying identities and aesthetics are reconsidering what a text can be, how a poem can be “read”, how the emotional and intellectual landscapes of poetry can be rendered beyond the traditional “page”, how the imagistic, aural and textural resonances of poetics can be made visual. WonderLab: A Visual Poetics, is the product of poets wondering about the possibilities and deficiencies of “text”. Students include: Maritza Estrada, Jabari Jawan Allen, Maria Woodson, Erin Noehre, Joel Salcido, Chelsea Liston, Elliot Winter, and Steven Abell, curated by Rashaad Thomas. The show will be open to the public on Friday, April 5 & 19, 2019 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, in the Larry Wilson Gallery, located within the Performing Arts Building at Phoenix Center for the Arts, 1202 N Third Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004. April 5 & 19, 2019 6:00-9:00pm FREE at the Larry Wilson Gallery, Phoenix Center for the Arts Phoenix Center for the Arts is proud to present WonderLab: A Visual Poetics, an exhibition created by MFA students at Arizona State University.
