An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

Walk With Me…Lafayette Cemetery.....

I built this walk in the Lagniappe Grid for those who can’t be here in person...
The song came first… the walk followed...This is not a tour....
It’s a quiet walk… through memory… through place… through a neighborhood that holds its stories close.....If you can’t make it to New Orleans…
this is the next best thing..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdGSEddiWDU

Come walk beside me.

Last night, the HG Safari group, founded by Thirza Ember and active in Opensim for more than ten years, visited the Metaverse Museum in large numbers.
It was a wonderful evening, during which Roberto Presicci, interim co-curator of the Metaverse Museum, and I answered questions and curiosities from those present, almost all of whom were English-speaking. We used a translator to communicate with them: of course, some of the dynamics and immediacy of verbal conversation was lost, but despite this, everything went very well.
We arrived at the museum's beautiful observation deck, then moved on to the In Between exhibition and then to the exhibition rooms, visiting some of the works in the collection.
Guests from outside Grid were particularly impressed by the vastness of the museum and the variety of works on display.
I would like to thank everyone who attended, namely the friends and artists of MdM, with special thanks to Thirza Ember and her group for their interest and constant attention to the Metaverse Museum, once again demonstrating their sensitivity and curiosity towards artistic and cultural research in the Metaverse

The guests are trapped! Use the Cyber Helmet to free them.

This was a scene in Hypergrid Stories. The original sim design is by the famous Shin Ingin who was badly injured in a motorcycle accident. The scene was written and scripted by me as part of HyperGrid Stories

🔥WALL‑TO‑WALL ENERGY 🔥

Tomorrow brings a new playlist that moves through the early morning like a living pulse
from deep house to progressive, from melodic techno to trance, from tribal rhythms to those cinematic, emotional lift‑offs that hit you right in the chest.

It starts low and warm, grows steady, and then rolls forward with a momentum that doesn’t break.

A full journey, smooth transitions, rising energy, and that unmistakable wall‑to‑wall flow.

If you’re in the mood for something that carries you, shakes you awake, and keeps you moving without a single dull moment,
you’ll want to be there.

Tomorrow.
Wall to wall.
Let the sound take over.

I have a project coming out for public beta test soon and I thought that now would probably be a good time to share 10 RULES of TECH SUPPORT!

MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.

(Please Read Before Speaking)

Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..

Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.

Rule three: “It doesn’t work” is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.

Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.

Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.

Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something “small” and didn’t mention it, congratulations—you have just doubled the troubleshooting time.

Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying “this is critical” does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyone’s blood pressure.

Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says “don’t do this” and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.

Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.

Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.
