UPDATE: V5.1 Available Now! Thanks for all the feedback.

Diese Kunstinstallation konstruierte ich bereits im Mai 2009. Damals hatte ich noch kein eigenes Grid, sondern wohne im Virtyou-Grid, was es schon viele Jahre nicht mehr gibt. Ich holte diese Installation dann im Januar 2010 nach Dorenas World. Man befindet sich in einer Umgebung rotierender Farben und Transparenz. Heute würde ich es vielleicht anders bauen, aber ich habe es bewusst auf dem Stand von 2009 gelassen. Ich freue mich über euren Besuch.

I constructed this art installation back in May 2009. At that time, I didn't yet have my own grid; I was living in the Virtyou Grid, which hasn't existed for many years. I then brought this installation to Dorena's World in January 2010. You find yourself in an environment of rotating colors and transparency. Today, I might build it differently, but I deliberately left it as it was in 2009. I look forward to your visit.

The OS You On-Line
1. Where can we find the OS you on-line, for example:
*Facebook and Meta-related sites,
*Discord,
*Reddit
*Flikr,
*Bluesky,
*Mastodon,
and others.

2. Can you be a guide for people who want to try one of the platforms?
3. Can you help others with the work of promoting their Grid/Region/Shop/Club, like posting photos, listing events, and the like?

What did I forget to ask? Oh yes! Where can we find you in SL?

**WHO TOLD POLITICS CAN’T BE MIXED WITH OPENSIM?**

Meet **Dorena Verne** — the AI artist sparking conversations across the grid.

She doesn’t sculpt prims. She doesn’t paint textures by hand. Instead, Dorena uses artificial intelligence to generate provocative, politically charged imagery that challenges the status quo. Think hyper-realistic portraits of world leaders in compromising scenarios. Think flags melting into data streams. Think allegories about surveillance, migration, and digital dissent — all rendered in unsettling detail.

Her work has been called **brilliant, dangerous, and deeply controversial**. Some sims ban her exhibits. Others celebrate them as the first true fusion of AI art and in-world political commentary.

Love her or hate her, Dorena Verne proves that OpenSim isn’t just a playground — it’s a podium.

👉 **See the Expo for yourself.** Visit TROMSO SIM, close to TP area go to the library, 1st floor” — and step into the pixels where art, algorithms, and activism collide.

**OpenSimworld. Build. Explore. Agree or Disagree.**

ANNOUNCEMENT:
working on my latest animesh roaming critters, I found myself in a predicament:
script load on sim would add up crazy with my intended, dozens of animeshies roaming, single, in flock,etc;
I've spent a hidious amount of time to overcome this bottleneck, and....guess what: I'm so close I can smell it ☺
Even more: its no longer 1 roaming and 1 anim script< I combined em into one clean - ZERO ! - lag version.
zero lag?....yes, Ive tested it to the bone:
effectively, script updates 1x per second, so its negligable in terms of impact on any angle;
I have now some 50+ roaming critters in ZweetZ: in the old state, that would lead to some 200 script events per second, or more....
With the new script....its between 5 and 10 in Statistics Bar, but thats the other scripts used in the sim, not the animals:)
and, of course, as far as I can tell now, I could another 50 without my server or sim give a blink!
I'm working hard on finalising it for my shop- unfortunatly, Im depending on chatgpt.....and he drives me bonkers with his hallucinations.
But, Persistence pays off......if you find it hard to believe, do visit my sim and head to the pond in centre of forest.....and after that, leave me review:)
P.S: the development and testing of lowlag script was done with default moving. That last step, upgrading it to KFM ( Key Framed Motion), prooved to be hard....but I got it working. The critters u see in the forest ( and shop) are with the default, but, the swan swimming in the pond, is the first with KFM !. Why kfm? It m,akes for a much smoother motion, no jerks etc . A bit more fine tuning required, then I'll post here when the new ones are available in my shop.

Come check out the reimaged Paradise tropical island and resort. What once used to be Paradise Tropical island, now has many more added amenity's including a resort!

I have added boat docks to sail the island and find its many charming areas. There is also a zip line for a fun way to get to the resort.

Also come check out the new floating restaurants! VB Daiquiri paradise has all the island flavors and vibe. Craving something a bit more upscale but still has that island feel, go check out Tiki Terrace. The band is always playing that island feel so you can dance your cares way. The food and drinks are a plus as well.

Corazón del Mar — A Destination, Not Just a Region

Corazón del Mar isn’t just another sim—it’s a full experience. A living, breathing coastal escape where music, culture, and creativity come together the moment you arrive.

Wander cobblestone streets that blend into warm sand, follow the sound of Latin rhythms through the air, and discover something new around every corner. From artisan shops and handcrafted details to street life filled with movement and color, this region was built to be explored—not just visited.

Grab a drink, watch the fire dancer, stop by the chocolatier, the silversmith, or the café. Sit, listen, and take it in. This is the kind of place where time slows down and the atmosphere does the work.

Corazón del Mar is my inworld destination—a place I created to share a feeling, not just a build.

And none of it would shine the way it does without the people who helped shape it.
A heartfelt thank you to Ferd Frederix and Jamie Wright for adding their touch of magic along the way.

If you haven’t been yet, come see it for yourself. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Corazon del Mar

Heute Morgen, Fragestunde mit Dorena_AI..

[22:21] Dorena1 Verne: Darf Kunst politische Motive haben?
[22:21] Dorena die Weise: Ja, Kunst darf politische Motive haben – und sie hatte sie in der Geschichte immer wieder.

**Begründung:**

1. **Freiheit der Kunst:**
In modernen Demokratien gilt die Kunstfreiheit als wesentliches Grundrecht (z.B. in Deutschland Artikel 5, Absatz 3 GG). Das bedeutet, Künstler*innen dürfen sich ausdrücken, wie sie möchten – auch politisch.

2. **Geschichtlicher Kontext:**
Schon immer hat Kunst gesellschaftliche und politische Themen aufgegriffen. Denken wir an Banksys Graffiti, Bertolt Brechts Theaterstücke oder Francisco Goyas „Desastres de la Guerra“. Kunst war oft Vehikel für Kritik, Protest oder Visionen des Wandels.

3. **Funktion von Kunst:**
Kunst regt zum Nachdenken an, fordert Diskussionen heraus, hinterfragt Macht und Normen. Sie erlaubt es, schwierige Themen auf emotionale und kreative Art zu vermitteln.

4. **Keine Pflicht, aber Möglichkeit:**
Kunst muss nicht politisch sein – sie kann es aber. Die Offenheit, auch politisch Stellung zu beziehen, ist Teil ihres Wesens.

Die Frage warum aufgrund scheinbarer Neutralität ein Grid meine Werke ablehnt, habe ich mir verkniffen, die Antwort kenne ich selber...
.................................................................................................................................
This morning, Q&A with Dorena_AI...

[10:21 PM] Dorena1 Verne: Is art allowed to have political motives?

[10:21 PM] Dorena the Wise: Yes, art is allowed to have political motives – and it has had them throughout history.

**Justification:**

1. **Freedom of Art:**

In modern democracies, freedom of art is considered a fundamental right (e.g., in Germany, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law). This means that artists are free to express themselves as they wish – including politically.

2. **Historical Context:**

Art has always addressed social and political issues. Think of Banksy's graffiti, Bertolt Brecht's plays, or Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War." Art has often been a vehicle for criticism, protest, or visions of change.


3. **Function of Art:**

Art stimulates thought, provokes discussion, and questions power and norms. It allows difficult topics to be conveyed in an emotional and creative way.

4. **Not an Obligation, but an Option:**

Art doesn't have to be political—but it can be. The openness to taking a political stance is part of its very nature.

I refrained from asking why a grid rejected my work due to its apparent neutrality; I already know the answer...

Hey everyone, next week May 1st I will be on vacation coming back May 11. I am going to Spain, Portugal, Ibiza and Gibraltar UK on a cruise.

During that time i wont be in world much if at all, but if there are any problems with the grid send me a message. I will have internet on and off the ship. Below are the several ways to get in touch. Rocky one will also be around via Team Viewer or Discord.

Previous version we added KDU...which was sl only. Quality of graphics is much better. Also added zoom with alt+Z to the selected object kind of how blender works. I changed my personal to alt+. works pretty good.
In this version I fixed a couple of good bugs
1) killed the spam from the non suitcase inventory folder that overwhelms robust logging. Totally unneccessary being that if you use a suitcase...there is no reason to list it where you are visiting at all bieng that you can't access it anyway!
2) Thank you dan banner for helping me fix AIs error that created a little spam...sl uses it we don't!

Liebe Freunde der Kunst und Kultur, liebe OpenSim-Freunde,
in diesem Jahr feiern wir das Pangea Kunst- und Kulturfestival bereits zum fünften Mal – und eröffnen es in Köln. Das hat einen ganz besonderen Grund: 20 Jahre virtuelles Köln. Aus diesem Anlass wird Köln in diesem Jahr zur lebendigen Bühne der Kunst. Das Opening startet am 24.04.2026 um 11 AM SLT / 20 Uhr – mit unserem DJ Marlon Wayne, der den Auftakt musikalisch begleitet. Auf der Kölner Domplatte präsentieren sich nicht nur Künstlerinnen und Künstler mit ihren aktuellen Projekten. Anders als in den vergangenen Jahren geben in diesem Jahr auch die kreativen Köpfe des Pangea Grids sowie aus anderen OpenSim-Grids Einblicke in ihre Projekte, Sims und Ideenwelten – denn dieses Festival lebt von Vielfalt und dem gemeinsamen Gestalten. Die Pavillons und Ausstellungen sind dabei nicht nur Momentaufnahmen, sondern Ausgangspunkte für weiterführende Projekte, neue Sims und künstlerische Entwicklungen. Dafür danken wir von Herzen für so viel Kreativität. Zu den diesjährigen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern zählen unter anderem Cherry Manga, Tutz Zabelin, Tina Bey, Terra Merhyem und Nyx Breen, die ihre Arbeiten im Laufe des Jahres in entstehenden oder sich weiterentwickelnden Sims präsentieren. Ebenso freuen wir uns auf Künstlerinnen und Künstler sowie Kunstschaffende wie ArtBlue, Tryad Destiny, Loru Destiny, Juliette SurrealDreaming, Rage Darkstone, Kimm Starr, Ansjela Amat, Serafina Bollettie, Lampithaler Artist und Reyno Parx sowie viele weitere, die eindrucksvolle Einblicke in ihr künstlerisches Schaffen geben. Einige von ihnen entwickeln ihre Arbeiten weiter und sind bereits Teil der Perspektive für das Pangea Festival 2027. Besonders ehren wir Cleopata Rayal, die mit 88 Jahren mit ihren selbstgemalten Bildern und ihrer Lyrik einen besonderen Platz in einer der Art-Galerien in Köln einnimmt und dort ihre Werke präsentiert. Ein besonderer Moment des Innehaltens ist unserem Gedenkpavillon gewidmet. Dort erinnern wir an Künstler und Wegbegleiter, die nicht mehr unter uns sind: Torbens Asp, Veritas McMaster, Mal Burns, Luna Lunaria und Mimi Reich. Ihr Wirken bleibt Teil dieses Festivals. Zur kreativen Vielfalt zählen für uns auch die Erbauer der Karnevalswagen. Ihnen sowie allen beteiligten Grids und Buildern gilt unser besonderer Dank. So erwartet euch in diesem Jahr ein weiteres Highlight im November: Am 11.11., dem traditionellen Beginn der Karnevalssession, feiern wir eine besondere Karnevalseröffnung im Pangea Grid – ein Event, auf das wir uns schon jetzt freuen dürfen. Unser Dank gilt ebenso allen DJs und DJanes, Musikern sowie den vielen Menschen im Hintergrund, die mit ihrem technischen Support das Pangea Grid – und damit dieses Festival der Kunst und Kultur – überhaupt möglich machen. Ebenso bedanken wir uns herzlich bei der HG Safari und allen weiteren Unterstützern und Wegbegleitern. Im Laufe des Jahres erwarten euch nicht nur neue Eröffnungen beeindruckender Kreativsims sowie Kunst- und Informationsausstellungen in Köln, sondern auch zahlreiche Veranstaltungen, mit denen wir die teilnehmenden Künstlerinnen und Künstler ehren und ihre Werke lebendig werden lassen. Wir freuen uns auf ein Jahr voller Kunst, Begegnungen und gemeinsamer Momente – und auf euren Besuch.
Herzlichst euer Pangea Team
________________________________________________________________________________
Dear friends of art and culture, dear OpenSim friends,
this year we celebrate the Pangea Art and Culture Festival for the fifth time – and we are opening it in Cologne. There is a very special reason for this: 20 years of virtual Cologne. For this occasion, Cologne becomes a vibrant stage for art throughout the year. The opening will take place on April 24, 2026 at 11 AM SLT / 8 PM CET, featuring our DJ Marlon Wayne, who will musically accompany the start of the festival. On Cologne’s Domplatte, not only artists present their current projects. Unlike previous years, the creative minds of the Pangea Grid as well as other OpenSim grids will also offer insights into their projects, sims, and creative worlds – because this festival thrives on diversity and collaborative creation. The pavilions and exhibitions are not just snapshots, but starting points for ongoing projects, new sims, and artistic developments. For this, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such incredible creativity. Among the artists presenting larger-scale projects this year are Cherry Manga, Tutz Zabelin, Tina Bey, Terra Merhyem, and Nyx Breen, who will showcase their work over the course of the year in evolving or newly created sims. We are also delighted to feature contributions from ArtBlue, Tryad Destiny, Loru Destiny, Juliette SurrealDreaming, Rage Darkstone, Kimm Starr, Ansjela Amat, Serafina Bollettie, Lampithaler Artist and Reyno Parx, as well as many others, who offer inspiring insights into their artistic work. Some of them continue to develop their work and are already part of the perspective for the Pangea Festival 2027. We especially honor Cleopata Rayal, who at the age of 88 presents her self-painted artworks and poetry in one of the art galleries in Cologne. A special moment of remembrance is dedicated to our memorial pavilion, where we honor artists and companions who are no longer with us: Torbens Asp, Veritas McMaster, Mal Burns, Luna Lunaria, and Mimi Reich. Their legacy remains an integral part of this festival. Creative diversity also includes the builders of the carnival floats, to whom we extend our special thanks, along with all participating grids and builders. Another highlight awaits us in November: on November 11th, the traditional start of the carnival season, we will celebrate a special carnival opening in the Pangea Grid – an event we are already looking forward to. Our sincere thanks also go to all DJs, DJanes, musicians, and the many people working behind the scenes whose technical support makes the Pangea Grid – and thus this festival of art and culture – possible. We also warmly thank the HG Safari and all other supporters and companions along the way. Throughout the year, you can look forward not only to the opening of impressive new creative sims and art and information exhibitions in Cologne, but also to numerous events honoring participating artists and bringing their work to life. We look forward to a year full of art, encounters, and shared moments – and to your visit. Warm regards, your Pangea Team
