Name of Art :  IdentityArtist Statement :  “The identity of one changes with how one percieves reality"  ~ Vithu Jeyaloganathan BIO: Starlash Sweetwater was born at the age of 4 to confuse enemy agents. Growing up in the Central Kalahari Desert and later London has left her with a fertile and vivid imagination which fuels her desire to actualise and add a unique perspective to her creations.
To date she has had showings of her 2D work at several galleries and has recently started to bring her stories to life with machinima.  Using second life as inspiration she is constantly trying new techniques and mediums to evolve her work.

Oberon Onmura has been making art in Second Life for over two years. In that time, his unique approach to using opposing forces on physical objects has attracted the attention of blog sites, SL and RL galleries and publications. He has recently become interested in the use of scripted agents (i.e. bots) as artmaking material.-His early work with physical objects, "Grid Floaters," was seen at the "Kiss the Sky" exhibition at the NMC ArtsLab sim, curated by DanCoyote Antonelli.-His "Beacon," a 100-meter tower that constructs and then destroys itself, was selected for inclusion in a national exhibition of virtual and corporeal art - the "@ Exhibition" (www.arsvirtua.com) - in association with the Southern California Institute of Architecture and the College Art Association conference in Los Angeles, California (February, 2009).-His recent sim-sized projects, "The Tunguska Event" , "Storm Cells,"  and "Four Galaxies" were seen at the Project Z Gallery. He recently collaborated with Juria Yoshikawa and Dancoyote Antonelli for a SL/RL event with a  jazz club in London, curated by Arahan Claveau. And with Diogenes Wylder (Georgie Roxby-Smith) at the Watermill Center (USA) and Melbourne (AUS). Oberon is currently exploring the creative possibilities of Opensim grids, and is running two simulator servers on his home computer in NYC. His sims, Titania and Elena, are connected to the Craft grid (http://craft-world.org:8002/).
