Several months ago, I had been asked to
participate in a weekly SL art web show
(which I later turned down, since I was
unable to make the commitment). When it came
time to brainstorm a name for it,
"SLart" was one of the suggested
names. I immediately shot that down because
I knew of ArtWorld's blog, magazine, and
group, and I didn't think it would be right
to take the name that someone had already
claimed. At the time, I had no idea he had
trademarked the term "SLart"; I
refrained from using the term out of
professional courtesy. did pay money to legally own the rights to it,
regardless of anyone's personal opinion of
whether or not he "should" have
done it. Would I have trademarked the term
if I had been him? Probably not, but I don't
think he is an asshole nearly as widespread as it is now -- it has really
exploded only in the past year. Of course,
it does make sense that "slart"
would become an obvious term in association
with art created within SL, but he
trademarked the name before it was widely
used. That fact might be annoying to you,
but so what? Why make such a big deal over
nothing? I personally prefer "SL
Art"; I think the word "slart"
sounds rather corny.

What kind of "art" does he promote
Neb?

Well, he has been a pretty strong supporter
of my work in the past. Additionally he has
written about Sabine Stonebender, Dancoyote
(whose work I respect although I am not a fan
of his personality), and other innovative SL
artists.

Ah I presumed he was some corporate chump. I

insert it in my own arse.

When they first created a 'Thermos' it was
not a wide-spread term either. Neither was a
aspirin or cellophane.SLart me up! ' here.
