Im building a monster, it’s mutating, it’s changing, you never really know what it is, how it works, where it leads, it just gets you lost in its guts, swallowing you a la lovecraft.

RIP
some people have an idealistic view of what the world should be, these people sometimes die because they just cannot cope anymore with all the bullshit around. My mother was a law expert and she knew how justice worked, she decided to kill herself.
Chose your camp, resist, this way you will be able to face your death when your time finaly comes.

sept 09:

Well so I moved IRL, back to the dark cypunk city that is Toulon, the city of experimental humans making babies, hello there I am, what a result, a cyberpunk city builder..

There I am in this flat, with this floor made out of pieces of destroyed buildings from WW2, this floor that made me realize I was living in a place where people had to raise buildings in a state of emergency, this is what it takes to realize such a thing, to live in it, to have your grandma telling you about it.

What am I gonna do : “Very far gone, in Toulon. Eating, excreting, and masturbating were the best he could” (neuromancer - william gibson)

Never read Gibson before, someone told me in SL to read about it, I have to admit the french translation SUX BIG TIME since I was able to read it in english and that it has nothing to do with the french version in terms of X FACTOR, William Gibson, please, make it translated again, and if the result is the same, make it a movie, here’s a good reason isn’t it…

Cyberpunk will die the day Id be living in one of these cities, and I don’t recall seeing it somewhere yet, even tho they said it was more of a “near future” environment..oh… wait… Im building it, Oo …

I wanna make it clear my original fave writer is Philip k. Dick, what a tortured dead legend, big up man, you made it dead. How does it feel to be able to act like a smart ass VIP in your tomb mate? I love you.

I need to place this text somewhere here is a temp place (SEPT 2009 omg):

august/september 2008///

———————

These texts here, about the cities I’ve lived in, some litterature, some mental images, all around what inspires this sim

———————————————-

I grew up in Toulon, an old military harbour that was almost totally destroyed during WW2. I remember when my grand mother was telling me that the building she was living in was made out of the remains from the war, the floor was made of tiny little pieces of concrete all sticked together and the architecture itself was minimal because at the time it was constructed people had to get new homes quickly.
Toulon is not a touristic town, people don’t really like it, you may see some charming postal cards here and there but inside the city it is just concrete and minimal, old, not very attractive buildings from the 50s that were made in a state of emergency.
Places that belong to the army are closed, windows are filled with bricks, old army boats smell like rust.
We have a place that we call Chicago, this might sound funny to some, that is were you can find prostitutes for the sailors, small bars with little neons showing a girl with a stetson hat, old army gear shops that we call “stock Americain”, little bars with no decoration and screaming arabic music. Oh yes I forgot that many people don’t like Toulon for one reason, it is because the highway litteraly goes through it too…

I leaved France when I was 14 years old and I arrived in Sao Paolo, Brazil, I was thrilled by this city which at that time was the biggest skyline in the whole world. I remember the praza republica where jungle trees were growing in the midst of huge concrete buildings, not really the glassy buildings everyone knows, just concrete and dark windows. I clearly remember that these concrete buildings were looking much more futuristic then the glassy ones, figure it out, it was just a feeling I had. I already didn’t imagined a glossy future for our civilization, things were dark, materials would not be all shiny and smooth but dirty and hurting the one who would try to rub against it..
One day I went to a harbour, it was a ghost town, only miserable people lived under bridges, old and huge cranes, rust, no windows, darkness, the highway was running above the houses…I think this was in Rio but I don’t remember clearly.

Then Paris for 2 years.

When I turn 18 I got a boyfriend and we decided to live in a truck, a Dodge 50 series that came from the British Telecom group, we visited many european cities, I remember Torino, an industrial town from northern Italy.
One day we broke our gearbox so we had no choice but go to London to try to find a new one, this was 80 kilos, buses were closing their doors in front of us, we had no money, so we had to pull the gearbox to a friend’s flat, this friend we had was so generous we could stay at his flat for months, and finally we decided to sell the truck and stay in London.
We rapidly had to move to another place after because the flat was sold, so we moved into a closed “council house”, also known as a squat, drugs everywhere, once I was sitting in a kitchen of which walls were all covered by old world maps, ketamine was boiling in rose water, this was a house William Burroughs squatted before, you just could smell it. So I stayed in London for 3 and a half years, going from squat to squat, old factories and town houses, squat parties, drug heads, I have to admit, in fact, some of the sweetest people in the world…
With some friends we were playing records on turntables and I remember hearing the first hangars liquides, this was the music I wanted to hear in this kind of pre apocalytic industrial life I had, a music to let yourself go into chaos, a kind of spiritual guide in this crazy life.

Then Sydney, I was tired of all this greyness, this low sky, the fog, this rain all the time and London in general.
So I arrived in Sydney Australia, here I was in the shiny sugar city of the down under.
Sydney is full of sugar, it’s like a big american birthday cake. Everything is shiny and nice and clean.
The part I really loved was Chinatown…I remember on Sydney’s main avenue, there was Australia New Zealand Bank headquarters of some sort, 2 huge sculptures of chinese dragons on each side of the main entrance, this was a powerful sign, China uses powerful signs that other countries can only contemplate.

HANGARS LIQUIDES SIM——————–

My first computer was an atari 800 XL I was about 5 or 6, and I used to type in basic programs to be able to play games. It was really good later on to discover something else then these games.
RUN

Later on I was reading these kind of erotic/thriller/cyberpunk comic books my bro had in his room, man I will always remember the day I discovered RANK XEROX, I was 8 to 10 I didn’t really understood that he was a robot dating a 14 years old you know, but I remember one drawing, punks were all gathering together into a public space with some concrete stairs around them, a bit like an amphitheatre. This picture gave me my very first cyberpunk vision ever. From this day on I would always be attracted to that kind of things.
AH, my bro’s bedroom, there around the same period in my short life I discovered Lovecraft’s fan novels, one especially about a museum and its statues de cire, Lovecraft’s terrifying deep sea like monsters, and then Blade Runner, and one episode of the twilight zone (the 80’s episodes) taking place in a humid and dirty dark city where the main character would go into an asian restaurant to order the chef’s special (just like in Cronenberg’s ExistenZ)…These kind of works made me realize something weird was going on with Asia, something I would always be fascinated with, this kind of mutant exotic oceanlife feeding the largest country in the whole world, octopus maybe(such an intelligent being you’d be suprised), mutant fishes for sure.

Leaving home and parents very early I was lucky enough to have my first trip I was only 15, oh then the naked lunch appeared in my life and again I realized something was going on in China, well, at least as Cronenberg made me feel it, these giant milky half submarine monsters could only be from China, and I knew there would be Asia…somewhere, always.

Flashforward to last year I was reading all Azimov’s foundation where the ceiling of the spatioport is so high you can’t see it, but clouds. All his robots stories, all the “before foundation” cycle, that I didn’t finish…
One idea coming out from this, ceilings so high.
Then Gibson …. nothing to say about Gibson.
Then Stephenson, man this was the kind of writting, a bit like Gibson (my feeling) that i couldn’t keep on reading too much (like Christine Angot did to me), but from the dozens of pages I red one idea of course this huge boulevard.

High invisible ceilings(Azimov) in a huge boulevard (Stephenson) with a mutant oceanlife as food (Asia/drugs/burroughs/harbours) in an anarchic/rich/miserable/concrete/whatever architecture.

Hangars Liquides leaves insilico and the picture says it all:

hangars liquides on your right, zizicoco on your left…

well, to begin with, HL was litteraly dwarfing its neighbour..and then

something like 2 weeks after I placed my sim neighbouring yours, I saw my builds in yours… I thought I accidentaly placed my prims in your sim so I selected them to delete them, but then I saw they had you as a creator. Since then you seem to be enjoying placing my concepts all around your dwarf of a city phuc. I was expecting a little more ‘imagination’ you know. And then some friend told me you did these lame things there, how ridiculous is this:

COPYBOT GALORE AT ZIZICOCO:

COPYBOTED BUILDING DESIGNS STILL DISPLAYED AT ZIZICOCO SIMS:

COPYBOTED JC HILL DESIGNS THAT GOT SKILLS HAK REPORTED WITH A DMCA:

ORIGINAL CHAIR DESIGN THAT GOT COPYBOTED BY SKILLS HAX AKA SKILLS HAK :

THE COPYBOTED VERSION OF THE CHAIRS:

SKILLS HAK PUTS HER INSILICO LOGO ON THE DESIGNS SHE COPYBOTED/STOLE FROM JC HILL:

buy yourself a pair of glasses if you’re experiencing troubles seeing the pictures above//

I don’t want to support anyone with that kind of attitude that I call stupid and brainless. Im not affiliated with the kind of builders using prefabs to populate their “builds” and lamely linking it to a last prim of theirs to make noobs believe they made it all, seriously…
