Month: December 2017

Learning code! I found someone online who had code for the tram to move easily up and down the mountain! This after 2 years working on this idea. So, I tried the script out and …my tram kept rotating sideways and backwards before actually moving up and down the line. !!! So I reached out to the script writer who was very nice in making some changes to his code. Except now my tram goes up the line stops and then goes off sim! I will figure this out some way. I am closer to having the mountain tram at Gallery No. 8 and Town Center!

I finished all work on a new gallery. One side has the offices and older art work displayed. The larger gallery space displays all of the newer art works including the upper floor that displays fashion from the VIDA collection. My efforts on tying together my real work with virtual work is complete.

Please do come to a special Christmas Eve Celebration:

Gallery No. 8 in the real world, is now officially located in Costa Rica, just outside of San Jose.

Yes, it has been almost exactly a year since I posted after I came back from Standing Rock, North Dakota. Let me just say it was a life altering experience. I am a different person now. I cannot live in the U.S. What I experienced first hand, was blatant racism and hatred of indigenous people. I also witnessed how the government works with corporations to undermine human rights and evade ecological regulations. In addition, I saw people who were merely saying prayers, get arrested and charged with felonies. So, I did come back, but I stepped up my retirement date and moved to Costa Rica.

For good.

I am not coming back.

The past two months I finished my work on the virtual Wounded Knee Memorial. I have created a memorial that ties the information I learned about Standing Rock in North Dakota with what happened at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. The connections between the past and the present are very evident for those who do any sort of historic research. Please do visit my memorial and help me add anything I missed.

Let us never forget.

On a small island you will now find a teleporter to Wounded Knee, South Dakota. It is a work in progress as I add more information. This is a memorial of the massacre that occurred December 29th, 1890 and the information that I gather connects with the current news about the ongoing genocide of the First Nation. From Uranium mining poisoning the water on Navajo land to the leaking oil pipelines in Standing Rock to climate change literally melting the permafrost in Alaska. What we are witnessing are human rights violations and environmental racism. We cannot change what we do not even know is happening, so the memorial will bring this knowledge to the virtual world.

Official Opening of Memorial: Thursday, December 29th, 2017  7:00 pm PST
