[2007/11/26 18:03] Max Janick: was that someone's mic? :o
[2007/11/26 18:03] Sasun Steinbeck is Online
[2007/11/26 18:03] Cylindrian Rutabaga: oh no
[2007/11/26 18:03] Cylindrian Rutabaga: Filthy's SINGING
[2007/11/26 18:03] metalhead Cosmos: sorry if you got a "burst" of Van halen
[2007/11/26 18:03] Max Janick: yay filthy!
[2007/11/26 18:03] Cylindrian Rutabaga: he's supposed to be naked when singing
[2007/11/26 18:03] metalhead Cosmos: I hit the wrong button
[2007/11/26 18:03] Morris Vig: Getting started, I want to welcome you all. Let's thank Enniv Zarf and Cyanide Seelowe for spurring discussion of this topic
[2007/11/26 18:04] Cylindrian Rutabaga: that was beautiful!!!
[2007/11/26 18:04] Filthy Fluno: k
[2007/11/26 18:04] Cylindrian Rutabaga: ENCORE!!!
[2007/11/26 18:04] Filthy Fluno: only 1$?
[2007/11/26 18:04] Filthy Fluno: ouch
[2007/11/26 18:04] Max Janick: ENCORE!
[2007/11/26 18:04] Morris Vig: the "Best of SL Art" has been a topic of conversation, but there are some fun, fundamental isuses...like what makes you the best? and, by extension, what makes you successful?
[2007/11/26 18:04] Gracie Kendal: LOL
[2007/11/26 18:04] Gracie Kendal: Is that was this talk was for?
[2007/11/26 18:04] Morris Vig: So let's let our esteemed panel kick it off. How do you folks define success in SL art?
[2007/11/26 18:05] Morris Vig: um yeah kinda G
[2007/11/26 18:05] Teofila Matova is Online
[2007/11/26 18:05] metalhead Cosmos: well i would think income amount determines success in SL....just like RL
[2007/11/26 18:05] Gracie Kendal: I have no idea :P
[2007/11/26 18:05] Filthy Fluno: metalhead
[2007/11/26 18:05] Filthy Fluno: that is a good point
[2007/11/26 18:05] Max Janick: You honestly can't define 'best' in objective terms unless you gauge success as monetary gain. And that opens a whole chestnut of controversy
[2007/11/26 18:05] AldoManutio Abruzzo is Offline
[2007/11/26 18:06] Gracie Kendal: I think success and best are two different things
[2007/11/26 18:06] metalhead Cosmos: I have GREAT 3d art.....but I am unsuccesful because I do not sell very many
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: me too
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: how about panelists get to comment
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: then audience
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: MAX?!!!
[2007/11/26 18:06] Morris Vig: fire away filthy
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: ahemmmmm
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: ok
[2007/11/26 18:06] Morris Vig: how do you measure success?
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: where was i
[2007/11/26 18:06] Filthy Fluno: yes
[2007/11/26 18:06] Max Janick: I'll agree, but only if you sing again
[2007/11/26 18:07] Filthy Fluno: selling is important if that's your goal
[2007/11/26 18:07] metalhead Cosmos: lol
[2007/11/26 18:07] Max Janick: <3
[2007/11/26 18:07] Filthy Fluno: i will talk about selling
[2007/11/26 18:07] Filthy Fluno: since that is my prioirty in here... i gotta pay my mortgage by selling art
[2007/11/26 18:07] Gracie Kendal: for me its not about selling
[2007/11/26 18:07] Cheen Pitney: I think it depends on who is defining it someone else or the artis him or her self
[2007/11/26 18:07] Gracie Kendal: its getting my work and 'name' out to a larger audience
[2007/11/26 18:07] metalhead Cosmos: true
[2007/11/26 18:08] Filthy Fluno: yes.. so let's just speak to what our individual goals are
[2007/11/26 18:08] Gracie Kendal: I ws averaging 40-50 sales a month
[2007/11/26 18:08] metalhead Cosmos: I have been told by some of the most succesful ppl in SL that my art is top notch and I should be doing really well....but again.....I'm not
[2007/11/26 18:08] Blackthorn Hare: Isn't this discussion going to come down to "We all define success on our own terms?"
[2007/11/26 18:08] Gracie Kendal: of course, we all know that has considerably slowed down
[2007/11/26 18:08] Filthy Fluno: ok
[2007/11/26 18:08] Filthy Fluno: first
[2007/11/26 18:09] Gracie Kendal: But success for me is using my art for charity...
[2007/11/26 18:09] Carrie Tatsu is Online
[2007/11/26 18:09] Cheen Pitney: honorable ideal Grace
[2007/11/26 18:09] Filthy Fluno: i'll come out and say that anyone who says they have the best, or most successful this or that is usually full of shit
[2007/11/26 18:09] metalhead Cosmos: I was trying to supplement my retirement with art in SL and online
[2007/11/26 18:09] Filthy Fluno: there's too much criteria
[2007/11/26 18:09] Filthy Fluno: contests...
[2007/11/26 18:09] Filthy Fluno: blah
[2007/11/26 18:09] Filthy Fluno: best of SL

[2007/11/26 18:10] Filthy Fluno: perservearance
[2007/11/26 18:10] Filthy Fluno: and making the best art you can
[2007/11/26 18:10] Madcow Cosmos: Contests are not about winning so much as name recognition
[2007/11/26 18:10] metalhead Cosmos: well i consider someone who clears $8,000k US pretty damn successful
[2007/11/26 18:10] Morris Vig: but you have to agree, Filthy, that the notion of success is worth discussing, only because the nature of SL really makes it different than RL.
[2007/11/26 18:10] Filthy Fluno: that's fine
[2007/11/26 18:10] Ludo Merit: who?
[2007/11/26 18:10] Cheen Pitney: woo who does that

[2007/11/26 18:12] Morris Vig: We've got some real definite opinions on this. Financially, that's a criteria.
[2007/11/26 18:12] Morris Vig: What about word of mouth?
[2007/11/26 18:12] Gracie Kendal: Absolutely
[2007/11/26 18:12] metalhead Cosmos: what?......are you on crack or something?
[2007/11/26 18:12] Cheen Pitney: well accolades are nice

[2007/11/26 18:13] Madcow Cosmos: Word of mouth is a ends to a means. Its not about recognition so much as what that regogition brings
[2007/11/26 18:13] Filthy Fluno: success for me is for everyone to know that I am Filthy FLuno, avatar of the RL artist Jeffrey Lipsky

[2007/11/26 18:19] Morris Vig: So does that get you sales - RL or sl?

[2007/11/26 18:20] Filthy Fluno: the fact is that not every artist is gonna make it in here
[2007/11/26 18:21] Filthy Fluno: actually... the minority will
[2007/11/26 18:21] metalhead Cosmos: so what your saying is "networking" is the key
[2007/11/26 18:21] Filthy Fluno: yes metalhead.. networking is huge
[2007/11/26 18:21] Cheen Pitney: get your name out there
[2007/11/26 18:21] Filthy Fluno: nothing really surprising about that
[2007/11/26 18:21] Madcow Cosmos: By make it do you mean in the financial sense only?
[2007/11/26 18:21] Cheen Pitney: there are so many folks here
[2007/11/26 18:21] Filthy Fluno: i mean to make it as in... be able to sustain yourself as an artist
[2007/11/26 18:21] Cheen Pitney: catch as many as you can
[2007/11/26 18:21] Filthy Fluno: some people need compliments
[2007/11/26 18:21] Filthy Fluno: and need to be liked
[2007/11/26 18:22] Filthy Fluno: and need their art to be liked
[2007/11/26 18:22] Cheen Pitney: the wider you cast the net
[2007/11/26 18:22] Morris Vig: OK Madcow, pipe in. You're a prolific guy. What happened to make you think you might be successful in SL art?
[2007/11/26 18:23] Corcosman Voom: Crashed?
[2007/11/26 18:23] Madcow Cosmos: Well My goal has nothing to do with finance, I'm about 3 30 item vendors behind in even getting my things to market

[2007/11/26 18:40] Ludo Merit: Are events something like book signings?
[2007/11/26 18:40] Morris Vig: on that front, Xander has a question
[2007/11/26 18:40] Gracie Kendal: anything..you can think of

[2007/11/26 18:41] Xander Ruttan: In the RL art world, a very negative perception exists about self promotion. What can SL artists do to counteract the negatives of going it alone without representation?
[2007/11/26 18:41] Scarp Godenot: Good job xander.
[2007/11/26 18:41] Xander Ruttan: thanks Morris
[2007/11/26 18:41] Filthy Fluno: they can stick it out

[2007/11/26 18:41] Cheen Pitney: folks find him and he brings them
[2007/11/26 18:42] Filthy Fluno: and if you can't stick it out on your own, or find an agent... then just do SL for fun
[2007/11/26 18:42] Cheen Pitney: not for everyone of course
[2007/11/26 18:42] Gracie Kendal: I think it depends on where you show...in Rl....
[2007/11/26 18:42] Cheen Pitney: exactly thats why we all started

[2007/11/26 18:52] Morris Vig: lol MC.
[2007/11/26 18:53] You: they have CNC machines that can replicate sculptures from virtual worlds.
[2007/11/26 18:53] Gracie Kendal: yea, but thats different Filthy
[2007/11/26 18:53] Gracie Kendal: because its still RL work
[2007/11/26 18:53] Cheen Pitney: in my profile
[2007/11/26 18:53] Filthy Fluno: its RL but would not exist without SL
[2007/11/26 18:53] Gracie Kendal: I have used SL images in my collages....
[2007/11/26 18:53] Gracie Kendal: but..they would exist a different way otherwise
[2007/11/26 18:53] Cheen Pitney: I urge you to check out Filthys method
[2007/11/26 18:53] Cheen Pitney: very cool

[2007/11/26 18:55] Filthy Fluno: weeeeeee!

[2007/11/26 18:55] Filthy Fluno: don't take stuff TOOOO seriously in here

[2007/11/26 18:56] Madcow Cosmos: SL it just another media I don't know how important it is to translate things between different one. Do we really need to dance about every painting? Importing and exporting art is great as long as it meetsa need to do so
[2007/11/26 18:56] Salandras Adamant is Online
[2007/11/26 18:56] Morris Vig: agreed, MC.....it's the beauty and creativity of art.

[2007/11/26 18:57] Filthy Fluno: SL is not just another media
[2007/11/26 18:57] Filthy Fluno: it has millions of people in here

[2007/11/26 19:01] Filthy Fluno: maybe that's two things
[2007/11/26 19:01] Cheen Pitney: id say enjoy what you are doing
[2007/11/26 19:01] Scarp Godenot: So is it more important to put your gallery in a sim with other artists do you think?

[2007/11/26 19:02] Morris Vig: got an anonymous question from the gallery: just how do you 4 define "art" in SL?
[2007/11/26 19:02] Gracie Kendal: LOL
[2007/11/26 19:02] Morris Vig: yeah, leave the softballs for last
[2007/11/26 19:02] Gracie Kendal: There are so many answers to that
[2007/11/26 19:02] Gracie Kendal: Sl is a piece of art in itself
[2007/11/26 19:02] Madcow Cosmos: Art to me is any creation proccess that couldn't be defined as craftsmanship alone.
