Bryn Oh is an artist from Canada. In RL Bryn is an oil painter and new media
artist, in SL works around the idea of using the medium as a
painting we can enter and explore. The idea of creating a fully
immersive space that draws us deeper into an artwork than is capable
with traditional forms such as painting, sculpture, cinema and so on.
Interview with Bryn Oh
KattyArndale:You did lot of
instalations in sl, every single dont leave mind in ease, its sth
strange sth like dark side of mind. What inspires you to do such
strange but very magnetic instalations?
Bryn Oh: For me it is just a way to
express aspects of my personality or life and then merge that with a
narrative based on observations on the society I live ranging from
technology, morals or influences both good and bad.
KattyArndale: Now about singularity of
Kumiko. I have read few comments about this instalation, some says
that it is about girl who is in coma some says it is about girl who
in 14 days loses her mind. Can you resolve that riddle and tell me
what it is about?
Bryn Oh: The singularity of Kumiko is a
prequel to a previous work called Imogen and the pigeons. If people
are interested to know a detailed description of what they are about
then perhaps read a series of post from my blog .. this is for Imogen
and the pigeons
http://brynoh.blogspot.ca/2013/03/imogen-and-pigeons-some-musings-on.html
and this is for The Singularity of Kumiko
http://brynoh.blogspot.ca/2014/04/imogen-and-kumiko-part-one.html
But a quick answer is that Kumiko was
in a car accident and then into a coma. While in the Coma her lover
Iktomi would send her messages directly into her dream state that
would arrive as bottles or letters for her. And from her coma she
would reply to him. She was unaware though that she was in a coma
and the doctors instructed Iktomi not to tell her, but to encourage
her to wake up by entering a symbolic door with an exit sign.
KattyArndale: How did you get the idea
of instalation Singularity of Kumiko?
Bryn Oh: The Singularity of Kumiko and
all the works for seveal years before it are all parts of a single
narrative that describes a world which is not so different from our
own. They all talk about the dehuminization of society though
technology in one way or the other. For this one the backdrop is the
technological singularity and my interpretation of how society might
change with its advent.
KattyArndale: Do you have a method when
creating your instalations? Which are the best one and you are most proud of?
Bryn Oh: Each work usually has three or
four months of preparation which includes sketches, paintings,
writing, poetry then eventually the building part in our virtual
space. I think I am most proud of my work Standby, Annas Many
Murders, Imogen and the Pigeons and The Singularity of Kumiko.

Black Kite is one of the most beautiful, full of light places in Second Life. Placed with care by theblackcloud Oh. For all those who wander, dream and
long for a place to call their own ... may you find your home here as
well. As Black Cloud says " Originally when I got Black Kite I
wanted to start over and have a place all to my own. I also wanted to
give back, when I started Second Life I spent lots of times on other
people's sims when I didn't have a home. I wanted to do just the
same, to keep the spirit of sharing alive. I also wanted to bring a
little bit of light back into this world. So many places are dark and
dreay, I wanted a little magical place to call home and offer it to
anyone else who felt the same (...)I don't see myself as an artist, though
others may disagree with that. I like simplicity, minimal designs and
color with lots of light and rain, which totally contradicts the
rest". Why the name "Black Kite"? "People take life too serious, even in this world. They should lighten up, run around and go fly a kite..." In her RL she lives in US her degree is in graphic design though she
works in web as a web developer and content creator.
Black Kite is great for photography. You can join group "Black Kite" to place poses/props for your photos than you can join flickr group and share it with others Kite's lovers. The best to see Black Kite is high or ultra graphics settings.
