The musician - a photo on Flickriver

The musician

Last month, one of my friends on SL, Nardis, passed away. He was an engineer and musician, ingenious and poetic.

He shared poems, music, paintings. We also had lively discussions about politics. He would tell me about the place where he lived, a little about his family whom he loved deeply. He was grumpy and always kind, he reminded me of one of my grandfathers. He would tell me about his experience as a musician. We shared the same passion for music. In my studio, there is a dance hall, where I put on immersive shows of video and modern and contemporary music. He loved it, he even danced next to me during rehearsals. It was fun and I was happy to give him that experience.

He helped the artists. He had a good understanding of the technique and did interesting research on the 3D rendering of the paintings. He also worked with artists to set up exhibitions.

Then he started talking about his pain. It seemed to be benign, then worrying, then it seemed like something else. All he could talk about was how he was having trouble walking, then getting out of bed, the disease was occupying all the space in his apartment. It lasted for weeks. Then, at the end of March, he told me that he was finally going to the hospital and that he would be away for a short time. The wait was way too long for a little pain.

There are many people in Second Life who disappear overnight without giving any news. Often, it's because the experience is over. You get bored and leave, like you leave a habit, a brand or a social network. And no one cares, that's normal. But Nardis was different: he would never have left like that, he was too well educated. He said hello every time I appeared, he said goodbye when he left. He always had a kind word. I learned of his death a few days ago.

I have created a small memorial in his honor, next to my church. It contains a small exhibit that I called Forgotten / Not forgotten . All the images inside the building are free. Take them, spread them, so that his memory remains alive.
