Love this NPiRL article and interview with Seifert Surface and Art Laxness - two of my SL heroes. :)

Art Laxness: I enjoy maths but not to the level Seif does. (He) is a mathematician who does art; I’m an artist who does math. I see math as more of a means to an end… which results in Seif explaining stuff to me so I get what is going on while I need to. Then I promptly forget it all.”

An interesting fact from the interview - that Sculpty Noob avatar that we were playing with at yesterday’s Collabricate session is actually a stolen version of Art’s work. :( I didn’t realize this or I would not have used it. Guess this is one of the worst aspects of content theft in SL - just not knowing that something is stolen.

I read that same article and when I got to the part about the sculpties being copied and stolen I got a lump in the stomach feeling.

No way can I use it knowing it is stolen. And I had just made a shoulder pet out of one of them. : )
