Interactive 3D art I made 1/4 Century ago. /  by Mirena Rhee

Interactive Virtual World 3D art I made almost quarter Century ago. Made everything but the character. Can't believe the app still runs on my Windows Machine, it still runs standalone in Windows 10 although I think at the time it was made for Windows 98 probably. This was created as a commercial application to run inside Active Worlds app.

No lighting, only textures.

All 3D art and animation by me. (for most of it)A company paid me to do this while I was still a student, I think they got their money’s worth.

I absolutely love doing that kind of stuff until this day, no lies.

The biographies of Elon Musk, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Steve Jobs should be taught in schools not catcher in the rye type of idiocies /  by Mirena Rhee

I'm not going to even start about the kind of readings you're required to read in Bulgarian schools, some outdated type shit that is totally unreadable in my opinion, let alone to inspire kids in the 21st century.

Instead the history of Rome and Greece, philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau, art music and engineering should be taught in schools.

Art = Emotion /  by Mirena Rhee

That moment of intentional imperfection of the beat or the pitch,

that adds emotional intensity to our musical experience.

Predictably, reality is on the beat.

Art is slightly off the beat, slightly off beat.

Art makes reality a lot more exciting.

Magic Mountain /  by Mirena Rhee

I was watching a movie about Charles Dickens. In the movie he complained about London being expensive and noisy and dirty. And then his sidekick told him - I know you always complain but London is your magic mountain isn't it?

New York City is my magic mountain, I wouldn't be the artist I'm today without New York City and its challenges. I haven't found another city willing to get down on their knees and paint on the sidewalk, elsewhere in the world people are just too skeptical.

Today I wanted to honor New York City and all its wonders - which is actually the people. The following photographs were sent to me by people who participated in memory replacement election day 2020 on Union Square.

I remember a little painter, she was probably maybe seven years old and she stayed and painted for literally 3 hours in the cold.

I wanted to say thank you.

It’s time to leave the mountain, New York will always be in my heart and i will be back and forth but I need space and time to create some stellar things.
