Vaneeesa Blaylock is an interesting and mysterious individual. Born April 25th 1969 at Georgetown University Hospital. Her mother was a diplomat in the Reagan Administration. Graduated high school in 1987. She spent her 1987-1988 academic year at UCSD where she studied with Alan Kaprow. In 1988 she was recruited by The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts she agreed to go and spent. She graduated 1991 with a degree in choreography. She did graduate work at Koninklijk Conservatorium (Conservatory of the Hague). Which she felt out of place but was kept in good spirits by her music professor Louis Andriessen. She would go on to graduate with a MFA in New Media Studies in 1998.
Vaneeesa Blaylock is an performance artist within second life, her work deals with ideas of identity and individuality. She was officially born again April 11, 2009 in Little Andalucia. When I see her work im not sure what I feel or what to think. I don't know whether to say "oh this is great" or "it's been done". Going over her portfolio which took forever to find I was able to find some art work that was really easy to comment on.. This is her third art piece on Second-life called
"Veinticinco Mujeres"
This is "woman" naked, not "nude". Not as "god made her" but as she has chosen to exist in second life. I found this piece interesting since it is pretty much just a bunch of naked women standing. But it's women standing naturally how they want to be viewed. Not as the overweight divorced loser degenerate that everyone calls them. Just as they feel inside just as how they want to look. But then it got me thinking why are there only women. There's so many more people, so many more species on second-life why focus on one gender.
This one is called Prism, pretty basic no identity here just a prism might as well call the piece rainbow though minus the fact that it has more colors in it. When viewing her art I don't really see anything aspiring or different all I see is "ohh I wonder how you do that in second-life". There isn't really much of a bio about her anywhere or if she's even a her. All I have is a portfolio of her artworks that contains about 19 pieces. http://vaneeesa.com/portfolio/
