HH rezzer, Kerrypet mathematician, child parent objects

I am setting up a rezzer for the presentation model of the real life HuaHui no1 !

Kerrypet mathematician came to the rescue once again!
She walked me through the different stages of setting up references for the panels, child and parent objects

Just trying to decipher codes and put it together.

Then I dreamt of the HuaHui rezzers the various versions all sitting there on the sky platform, as i have not yet time to put in the Die script, I dreamt that all these rezzers calling up the 3200prim houses, flowering all over the island, crashing everybody!!

Then, I had to delete them by hand afterwards...

Contagious Republic - genius scripter best prim sculptie tool master maker (hails from Quebec, Canada)according to user reviews on xStreet sl market - by using his Sculpt Master to reduce prims - 42 cubes in one prim. And the tricky issue of how to place the texture correctly? He calculated that my house cost 50us to host per month, if we reduce by 42 times the cost, thats like maybe one dollar per month instead? For prim economics its an elegant solution.

Here is the texture guide

PRESS RELEASE
INVITATION
21 March, 2010 - 11:00 a.m. - Certosa Island, Venice
The Creative Rooms
Curated by Lucrezia De Domizio Durini. In collaboration with Gérard Georges Lemaire
Coordinated by Antonietta Grandesso. Promoters: Giorgia Chiozzi and Sabina Piccoli.
A work in progress
Third and final phase: 6 Artists & 6 Rooms at the Certosa Hotel

Venice’s Certosa Island is a unique place, an island enveloped in verdant vegetation and surrounded by the blue sea, a location whose majestic silence is interrupted only by the chirping of birds and the murmur of the sailboats docked in the small port. A place with an ancient, sacred and religious history where Carthusian friars once proclaimed the Faith and set an example for people. Later, the island became a military base and was surrounded by a protective wall. Today, Certosa Island brings the past into a “present” in which the entire environment evokes and symbolizes an orderly, contemporary life. Nothing has been lost.
The island’s Silence and Nature merge with a creative shipyard, a building renovated to serve as a Design School, a restaurant that serves delicious, healthy foods, and a small Hotel with 18 Rooms – the “jewel” of the island.
Exceptional people manage this splendid place, displaying both passion and a professionalism in which cordiality reigns supreme. These extraordinary people include two bold entrepreneurs, Alberto Sonino, the “Venetian of the Year”, and Gianluca Bisol, noted producer of an esteemed prosecco wine in Valdobbiadene, two admirable women, Giorgia Chiozzi and Sabrina Piccoli, who every day strive to make each guest’s stay at the Hotel a true pleasure, as well as many other men and women, including workers, gardeners, waiters, cooks, employees and assistants who all work together to continually improve the location.

The cultural sensitivity and attentiveness of the island’s managers has brought international attention to this hotel, which is unique in the world of hospitality, and led to a project in which 18 ARTISTS – from diverse nations and generations, and following different artistic pursuits – designed the hotel’s 18 ROOMS. Lucrezia De Domizio Durini, a scholar of Beuysian thought, was entirely responsible for conceptualizing and curating the project The Creative Rooms.
The curator carefully selected the artists who, despite their diversity, share the themes of Silence and a respect of Nature. Amidst this artistic diversity and interaction, these themes are the guiding principle of an active philosophy that has been evident for over 30 years in all of Lucrezia De Domizio Durini’s work. This Silence originates from Nature, belongs to the Spirit of Time and conveys the sensitivity of those courageous enough to contest everyday stereotypes.

The Creative Rooms is a cultural project that has taken shape over time, a work in progress. The project was divided into three phases so that the identity of and ideas behind each artist’s work could solidify. The first phase began on 4 June, 2009, on the occasion of the 53rd Venice Biennale, and the second phase started on 22 November, the day the Biennale closed. The project is now in its third phase, with the completion of the final 6 ROOMS by 6 PRESTIGIOUS ARTISTS who, each naming their room, pay tribute to the Nature of the place, providing a broad vision of the philosophy of their own artistic pursuits in relation to the present time. Each “Room” will be named after the artist as an enduring testimony of their presence.







The final 6 Rooms have been entrusted to the following artists:

FAOUZI LAATIRIS (Morocco)

Shahrazad
INGHEBORG LÜSCHER e UNA SZEEMANN (Switzerland)

COMUNICATO STAMPA
INVITO
21 Marzo 2010- ore 11,00 - Isola della Certosa Venezia
The Creative Rooms
A cura di Lucrezia De Domizio Durini . Collaborazione Gérard Georges Lemaire
Coordinamento Antonietta Grandesso. Promotrici Giorgia Chiozzi e Sabrina Piccoli.
operazione work in progress
Terza e ultima fase: 6 Artisti & 6 Stanze al Certosa Hotel

L’Isola della Certosa di Venezia è un luogo raro, totalmente avvolto dalla verdeggiante natura e dall’azzurro del mare, dove il silenzio è regale, interrotto solo dal cinguettio degli uccelli e dal fruscio delle barche che ormeggiano nel piccolo porto velico. Un luogo di storia antica, sacra, religiosa in cui i frati Certosini tra preghiera e lavoro hanno dato messaggi ed esempio all’uomo. Poi l’Isola divenne sede militare e fu circondata da una muraglia protettiva. Oggi l’Isola della Certosa raccoglie il passato in un “tempo presente” in cui l’intero habitat rappresenta ed è simbolo di una vita organizzata e attuale. Nulla è andato perduto.
Il Silenzio e la Natura appartengono all’Isola e si amalgamano con un creativo cantiere navale, con l’antico edificio restaurato a servizio di una Scuola di Design, con un delizioso ristorante dai cibi sani e succulenti e da un piccolo Albergo di 18 Stanze che rappresenta il “gioiello” dell’Isola.
Persone eccezionali gestiscono con passione questo splendido luogo in una forma di massima professionalità dove regna innanzitutto la cordialità, come quella di Alberto Sonino, il “Veneziano dell’Anno” e di Gianluca Bisol, noto produttore in Valdobbiadene di un prestigioso prosecco, entrambi imprenditori coraggiosi, di Giorgia Chiozzi e Sabrina Piccoli, due donne ammirevoli, quotidianamente attive e attente a rendere il soggiorno degli ospiti dell’Hotel sempre più piacevole e poi tanti uomini e donne: operai, giardinieri, camerieri, cuochi, impiegati, assistenti che collaborano con solidarietà per un continuo miglioramento del luogo.

La sensibilità e l’attenzione culturale dei gestori dell’isola hanno dato luogo ad un’attrazione mondiale, un unicum nel campo alberghiero, permettendo la creazione delle 18 STANZE dell’Hotel da parte di 18 ARTISTI di diverse Nazionalità, differenti Ricerche e più Generazioni. L’ideazione e la cura del Progetto The Creative Rooms è stata affidata interamente a Lucrezia De Domizio Durini, studiosa del pensiero beuysiano.
La curatrice ha scelto scrupolosamente gli artisti che pur nella loro diversità sono accomunati concettualmente dal “Silenzio” e dal rispetto della “Natura”. Un filo conduttore, nella diversità e nel confronto, di una filosofia attiva che da oltre trent’anni percorre l’intero lavoro di Lucrezia De Domizio Durini. Un Silenzio che nasce dalla Natura, appartiene allo Spirito del Tempo e parla alla sensibilità di tutti quegli uomini coraggiosi che si contrappongono agli stereotipi quotidiani.

Il Progetto The Creative Rooms è un’operazione culturale che ha preso forma in diversi tempi, un work in progress. Affinché il lavoro di ciascun artista abbia la sua sedimentazione di riflessione e di identità, è stato diviso in 3 fasi. La Prima fase è stata inaugurata il 4 giugno in occasione della 53° Biennale d’Arte di Venezia 2009, la seconda fase il 22 Novembre , giorno di chiusura della Biennale, e ora ci troviamo nella Terza fase con le ultime 6 STANZE di 6 ARTISTI prestigiosi che con la loro creatività titolando la propria “Stanza” fanno Omaggio alla Natura del luogo dando una visione ampliata della filosofia della propria ricerca artistica in relazione con il tempo presente. Ogni ‘Stanza’ prende il nome dell’artista quale testimonianza duratura della sua presenza.






Le ultime 6 Stanze sono state affidate agli artisti:

Science Sim, Carry one more kg, An Zhu

Science Sim

The ScienceSim grid is hosted by IEEE/ACM.
Grid administration is handled by Intel Labs.
Management oversight is provided by Fashion Research Institute.

Carry one more kg - a micro project organised by An Zhu - when hiking in China, this group of young people carry one more kg as gifts to local villages. The one kg may be books, pencils, erasers that kind of things.

微公益 micro grass root projects : carry one kilogram more. By An Zhu = peaceful pig :) actually his name is Andrew but v gd Chinese name! He presented his project at Ullens Foundation in Beijing.

How you could change the world by organising multiple small efforts - and they could be very effective often more than one big effort from one source.

I like the idea of collecting small drops to make one unlimited ongoing pool.
