Mesh Thoughts: Creases and Pneumatics

16 September 201420 July 2015 Tizzy Canucci

I’ve been meaning to write about mesh avatars for a while. But first, I needed to pin down what exactly it is that troubles me about mesh avatars. Of course it could just be familiarity – I accept the faults in the standard avatar as I no longer really see them, whereas mesh is new […]

We are What we Create, and We Create Who We are

27 May 201414 April 2016 Tizzy Canucci

I started this piece of writing two years ago when I decided to complete revamp an avatar. I didn’t really have the time to make those changes, but I felt a compulsion for change, which I thought was about to rework wider ideas of my identity. I’d been thinking about the ideas around this for […]

Steampunk at Babbage

16 April 20147 April 2019 Tizzy Canucci

Dark and industrial in a steampunk way, New Babbage is an impressive area covering ten sims. It is certainly atmospheric, with towers, bridges, canals and railways half concealed in the gloom.

Gamers and their Avatars

24 May 201328 April 2021 Tizzy Canucci

Gamers and their Avatars I haven’t posted for a while as so much else has been crowding in. I’ve done a couple of photography sessions, but need to spend a bit of time working them through. However, I came across this piece in a site I follow for my ‘real life’ photography. It’s two years […]

Two Friends Chatting in Second Life, by Tizzy Canucci

Two Friends

1 May 201320 July 2015 Tizzy Canucci

A simple scene of quiet conversation. Two friends on a bench in Second Life while their real life bodies sit half way around world from each other. Here their minds meet in conversation in a way that only can be achieved through re-embodiment in a virtual world, by sharing the same space, of seeing and […]
