Join Edmonton artist Kelly Ruth at NAISA (New Adventures in Sound Art ) – or in the virtual world of Second Life – from December 7 to 9 for her new piece, Threads of an Unwritten Future.
Ruth will use the sounds of a weaving loom manipulated by electronic effects pedals and integrate that into her customized environment in Second Life.
If you are new to Second Life and are curious, then this is a great opportunity as Ruth will be on hand to guide you through the experience at the gallery and café at NAISA. The installation will continue after she leaves South River and will be available until January 8, 2024.
Second Life is free to join by clicking HERE. It is used by many artists and musicians as a hub for collaboration and for just hanging out with like-minded people.
In-person performances: December 7 – 9 @ 1 pm
Performance in Second Life: December 9 @ 7 pm
Artist-guided installation experience: December 7 – 9, 10 am – 4 pm
Exhibition: December 7, 2023 – January 8, 2024, at NAISA North Media Arts Centre, 313 Highway 124, South River, Ontario.

“As the world becomes more digital and remote connections are normalized, I believe that collaborating, creating, and presenting art in social 3D-based virtual worlds will exist more and more. Engaging in art in immersive environments through an avatar representation of oneself allows the audience member to engage with the work on their own terms in a playful and creative way that often blurs the relationship between audience and artist.” – Kelly Ruth
