Estaba pensando en la palabra “diva” y en cómo

el significado de esta palabra ha cambiado a lo lar-

go de los siglos. Tiene su origen en la palabra del italiano antiguo “diosa” y fué utilizado por primera vez para describir a los cantantes de ópera , sopranos casi

siempre de mucho talento. Con el tiempo, el signifi-

cado de la palabra “diva” se extendió a las mujeres in-

dependientes y de gran personalidad (que marcaban la moda) del teatro, el cine y la música popular.

Ser una diva y, señoras, sabemos que están ahí fue-

CARTA DEL EDITOR

No os preocupéis chicos, en ciertas ocasiones, es a

los hombres a los que se les ha dado el título de diva (prefieren divo), porque son inmediatamente reco-

nocibles por su estilo y, sí, por su actitud. Elton John, Tom Jones, Sting, Justin Timberlake, Andrea Bocelli, y Enrique Iglesias, entre otros, han sido “coronados” con este título.

here are different ways to join SL. Some

of us discover it by chance, others read about it in magazines; and then friends invite us to join; some of us answer the call. This was the

case of the special guest of Versus, Mikel Monk. “I became Mikel Monk ... because of a friend in

SL that invited me to the party and here I am. ” Once here, Mikel found out he that he loved going to sales events and that he loved to shop.

Eventually, Monk realized that there was only a random piece of unisex clothing and furniture

for men; and he wanted more so he set out to fulfill this challenge.

Mikel Monk

Multifaceted & More Men in SL, it can be a challenge; as we all

know it is silly to think that clothes don’t really matter.

We should all wear whatever we

want. Most people don’t take clothing seriously enough, but whether we should or not, clothes do talk to us and we make decisions based on people’s appearances.

“I decide to start a clothing line and store

called The Men’s Department, aka TMD and

my dream was born. Soon, I decided to start a monthly “TMD” event where SL avatars would find male fashion and “stuff “ for men. I wanted TMD to be an event geared to male and unisex

ginable and possible --- or almost impossible. How much fun is that! Depending on the month visitors to TMD will find clothes, shoes, acces-

sories, hair, skin, eyes furniture, homes, poses and more “.

“I DECIDE TO START A COTHING LINE AND STORE CALLED THE MENS’S DEPARTMENT, TMD, AND THE DREAM WAS BORN...” The TMD Event is open to all designers, from

well-known brands that are iconic on the grid

to those that are new designers on the cutting edge. “ There are some of the best designers on

SL here; but I’m always looking for new designers. I have found some great new stores and that’s always great!”

Yet, there is a strict rule at TMD. “All con-

tent must be original no templates are allowed. Monk has strong opinions about mesh, “Mesh has done great things for male fashion,

I think it is great and sometimes under ap-

preciated. There are many good designers that

create items for men that some people don’t

know and I love helping people find them at TMD.”

Monk offers wise words, “ Guys, if you want

As for inspiration, Monk has so many things

that should inspire us to be our best. “TMD”

nuevos diseñadores de vanguardia. “ Aquí están algunos de los mejores diseñadores de Second Life,pero siempre estoy buscando nuevos.

He encontrado algunas grandes tiendas nuevas y eso,siempre es genial”.

“HE DECIDIDO COMENZAR UNA LINEA DE ROPA Y UNA TIENDA LLAMADA THE MEN’S DEPARTMENT, TAMBIÉN CONOCIDA COMO TMD, Y ASÍ COMENZÓ MI SUEÑO...” Sin embargo,hay una regla estricta en TMD.

“Todo el contenido presente en el evento ha de ser original y no se permiten los templates”. Monk tiene muy definidas sus opiniones acerca

de los mesh. “Los mesh han hecho grandes cosas por la moda masculina,creo que son geniales y

en ocasiones poco apreciados. Hay muy buenos diseñadores que crean artículos para hombres y

muchos no son conocidos. Me encanta ayudar a que la gente los descubra dentro de TMD”

Monk ofrece palabras sabias. “Chicos,si que-

cuan importante es tener un buen aspecto. Mi

consejo es simple,id directamente a la meta y sed vosostros mismos. Tened vuestro propio es-

tilo. Teneis que aseguraros de usar todo aquello que os hace sentir bien con vosotros mismos”

En Versus entendemos esto muy bien. Hace-

ur world is made by a number of simi-

Delving into the world of Fractal Art is to en-

ter the mysterious world of basic natural laws

and rules, where rigid algorithms produce end-

less fantasy shapes, lights and colors. This type

of visual art is not common in RL but in SL, there are many unique opportunities to visit great exhibits of this type of art that are on the cutting edge in keeping up with the range of technical possibilities in SL.

A great place to start exploring the Fractal Art

world is by visiting Timamoon Art Place, where

many of the best fractal artists like Milly Sharple

show or have shown their works. Another great

place to see fractal art is to visit the original fashion lab and shop of Spyralle, where Kerryth Tarantal offers pretty clothes textured with her fractal images.

Maybe this is the reason for the appeal of re-

cursive patterns and symmetrical shapes. Look at a tree, for example: branches and leaves de-

velop following the same pattern, changing

size but always generating new elements of the same shape.

Generating simple patterns and making

nical shaped elements, to make virtual buil-

tensive surfaces filled with natural or mechadings or landscapes. Mac has dedicated his

skills to build solid shapes some often climb up to the sky in regular, huge and full colored compositions. Ranadeep proposes mostly 2-D

images whose variety in colors and shapes is

each time a stunning surprise. Aurora makes

her small fractals combine in bright colored and shadowed patterns, building images that

can suggest animal or human shapes or even

abstract ones, expressing deep feelings, fantasies and dreams; she also turns her images in textures for static or animated sculptures.

Aurora, photography lover in RL, encounte-

red fractal software like JWildfire, Apophisis and

Ultrafractal by chance in 2006 and got fascina-

ted by the opportunities they give. Although she didn’t get special mathematic education, she has been able to manage these programs

(without reading manuals, just relying on her intuition and on her creativity) to create a lot of fractal artworks so far. She started exhibi-

delbulb3D program, and experiments with its

than 250 artworks that are displayed in his gallery. Gem prefers to create large installations

with extensive surfaces filled with natural or mechanical shaped elements that compose virtual buildings or landscapes. “ I am a bit shy

about my work, and I am hesitating to promo-

te them too much in RL. I create them mainly for my own pleasure and dreamy moods” says

Gem. “The considerable advantage of SL has been to join an existing art community and

to be able to reach an international audience,

with lot of exhibition possibilities, I am enjoying that aspect of my work.”

“THANKS TO SL, I WAS INSPIRED TO WRITE PROGRAMS THAT EXPLORE 3-D FRACTAL WORLD.”

ting them at Timamoon, and has now opened her own gallery.

As a result, Aurora makes

small fractals combine in bright colored and shadowed patterns, building images that can suggest animal or human shapes or even abs-

tract ones, expressing deep feelings, fantasies

and dreams; she also turns her images into textures for static or animated sculptures. “It is

great to exchange thoughts and to inspire or get inspired by the great art scene in SL. It has

allowed me to make sculptures here too. I enjoy making Fractal art in RL as well,” says Aurora.

Gem got his education in science and has a

strong interest in mathematics and all scien-

ces related to universe and earth; being “an Art

Mac’s technical and scientific background in

RL allows him to work with the program Xaos

for Mandelbrot fractals. Eventually, Mac wrote a custom C program to optimize the resolu-

tion and to stay within the link limit in his larger artworks. Mac has dedicated his skills to build solid shapes with some rising to the sky

in regular, huge and full colored compositions. “My work as a fractal artist is helped by the 3-D

environment and features of SL. In SL, I have found the opportunity to expand and improve

my work: thanks to SL, I was inspired to write programs that explore 3-D fractal world.”

in English

Website developer and designer in RL, Ra-

nadeep uses a lot of programs, from Apophysis and Ultrafractal to Incendia, Chaotica, Frax and Mandelbub3D; he started showing his works in

SL in 2013. To date, he has shown 12 exhibits in the past year. Ranadeep composes mostly

2-D images whose variety in colors and shapes is always a stunning surprise. “I make fractal

art in RL as well and all my work is uploaded

in RL. I think SL offers more opportunities to be appreciated thanks to its worldwide reach of SL considering the fact that in many places

around the globe fractal art is still less known and appreciated.”

This is what these outstanding artists say

about themselves and their work. In the next

part of this article in the next Versus we’ll see how they create and how their different styles and inspiration can make fractal art opportunities countless and amazing.

By Melusina Parkin Talks with Aurora Mycano, Gem Preiz, Mac Kanashimi and Ranadeep

uestro mundo está compuesto por una

serie de formas elementales similares e incluso idénticas que se repiten y se combinan para

crear objetos más complejos que van desde las

células del cuerpo a los átomos que, cuando se juntan, convierten la cantidad en calidad.

Muchos de nosotros estamos fascinados con

la repetición y la reiteración que, con ligeros cambios, hace las cosas diferentes.

Arte Fractal en SL Sorprendente y Sublime Tal vez esta es la razón de que se recurra a

patrones recursivos y formas simétricas. Un ár-

bol, por ejemplo: ramas y hojas se desarrollan

siguiendo el mismo patrón, cambiando el tamaño, pero siempre generando nuevos elementos de la misma forma.

Generar patrones simples y hacer que se re-

produzcan y crezcan en formas intrincadas sin

perder su regularidad y armonía es una tarea di-

fícil. Hoy en día, con el uso de los ordenadores y la capacidad para resolver fórmulas complejas,

el mundo del Arte Fractal ha surgido a través

de innumerables pantallas de ordenador. En el pasado, el arte era creado por las manos de los

artistas que modelaban formas en una variedad

de medios desde la pintura al pastel. Hoy, en el mundo del arte fractal, las manos del artista se

encuentran en el clic de un ratón que permite la experimentación sobre cómo cambiando va-

lores en una función podemos generar resultados inesperados. En el arte fractal el artista

puede crear formas abstractas o “imposibles”

pero siempre rigurosas que guían su pincel virtual para configurar los elementos que crean un fractal. Adentrarse en el mundo del Arte Fractal es en-

trar en el misterioso mundo de las leyes y reglas naturales básicas, donde algoritmos rígidos produ-

cen un sinfín de figuras, luces y colores de fantasía.

Este tipo de arte visual no es común en la vida real, pero en SL hay muchas oportunidades únicas para visitar grandes exposiciones de este tipo de arte

que están en la vanguardia para mantenerse al día con la gama de posibilidades técnicas en SL.

Un gran lugar para empezar a explorar el mundo

del arte del fractal es el Timamoon Art Place, donde muchos de los mejores artistas fractales como Mi-

lly Sharple exponen o ha expuesto sus obras. Otro gran lugar para ver arte fractal es el laboratorio y tienda moderna de Spyralle, donde Kerryth Taran-

tal ofrece ropa a la moda con sus imágenes fractales.

Versus le ofrece una oportunidad exclusiva para

escuchar directamente las opiniones de cuatro protagonistas destacados de este tipo de arte en SL. Gem Preiz, Aurora Mycano, Mac Kanashimi y Rana-

tas de SL Fractal Art; también son algunos de los artistas más activos - junto con Kikiri Tuqiri, Milly Sharple, Rojo Bıçkın y otros. Este grupo de artistas representa diferentes tendencias en el desarrollo

mientos inspirándose en el gran panorama artístico de SL. También se me ha permitido hacer escul-

turas aquí. También disfruto haciendo arte fractal en la vida real”, dice Aurora.

Gem obtuvo su educación en ciencia y tiene un

fuerte interés en las matemáticas y todas las cien-

cias relacionadas con el Universo y la Tierra; siendo “un aficionado del arte y aficionado en el Arte”,

reunió sus habilidades y pasiones, usando el complejo programa Mandelbulb3D, y experimentando

sus habilidades para construir formas sólidas de las cuales algunas se levantan al cielo en composiciones regulares, enormes y a todo color. “Mi trabajo como artista fractal es facilitado por el entorno 3-D y las características de SL. En SL he encontrado la

oportunidad de ampliar y mejorar mi trabajo. En SL

me inspiré para escribir programas que el mundo fractal en 3-D”.

Desarrollador web y diseñador en la vida real,

Ranadeep utiliza una gran cantidad de programas, desde Apophysis y Ultrafractal a Incendia, Chaoti-

ca, Frax y Mandelbub3D; él comenzó a exhibir sus

obras en SL en 2013. En el pasado año, organizó 12 exposiciones. Ranadeep compone en su mayoría imágenes 2-D cuya variedad en colores y formas es

siempre una sorpresa. “Yo hago Arte Fractal en la vida real, así y todo mi trabajo se carga en la vida real. Creo que SL ofrece más oportunidades para

ser conocido gracias a su alcance mundial, ya que en muchos lugares del mundo el Arte Fractal es menos conocido y apreciado”.

Esto es lo que estos destacados artistas dicen

de sí mismos y de su obra. En la siguiente parte de este artículo en la próxima edición de Versus

“YO HAGO ARTE FRACTAL EN LA VIDA REAL, ASÍ Y TODO MI TRABAJOSE CARGA EN LA VIDA REAL Y CREO QUE SL OFRECE MÁS OPORTUNIDADES PARA SER CONOCIDO GRACIAS A SU ALCANCE MUNDIAL, YA QUE EN MUCHOS LUGARES DEL MUNDO EL ARTE FRACTAL ES MENOS CONOCIDO Y APRECIADO”. veremos cómo ellos crean y cómo sus diferentes

estilos e inspiraciones pueden hacer que las oportunidades de Arte Fractal sean incontables y asombrosas.

Wear your hair

long and straight; for variation wear an up-do that twists up and is casually disheveled.

Sweet and sleek, vintage bobs are also in style and can add another unexpected layer to your look.

Trends

rends

This summer, orange is the new black, so dive into summer with bold colors that empower – hot pinks, bright blues, iridescent greens and a rainbow of colors that sizzle on the beach, in nightclubs and out on the town. Embellishment still holds us in thrall… watch for those flashy patterns that “razzle dazzle.” These patterns run the gamut from hard to see glimmer to all out sparkles that will light up the night…and the day too. Floral prints explode this season as if in a hothouse… they just blossom! Big bold prints are on everything from casual wear to glam. This summer, many on the grid and in RL are not only pretty in pink… but also in floral patterns. The ethno-tribal trend is one of the most interesting of the summer season adding an element of diversity and flourish to any wardrobe. So sway to the tribal beat on the beach and out on the town… and get on your “global” chic.

This Versus section shows you the best trends of summer… so take the plunge!
