Second Life® est devenu une sorte de serious game interactif et réunissant une communauté d'internautes des cinq continents. Cette communauté créative a été en grande partie fédérée et motivée par Pirats Art Network qui a appliqué à la communauté virtuelle un sérieux et une détermination permettant l'organisation d'évènements, d'expositions ou de performances réunissant de très nombreux internautes.
Lorsque l'Office de Tourisme de la ville de Nice m'a proposé de réaliser un carnaval virtuel dans Second Life® c'est tout naturellement que j'ai proposé Pirats pour l'organisation et la logistique de cet évènement unique qui est devenu depuis récurrent pendant le Carnaval de Nice et projeté sur les grands écrans de la place Masséna avant les corsos.
C'est ensuite pour reproduire en direct dans le monde virtuel le "Dîner dans le ciel" du chef deux étoile Christian Sinicropi que Pirats est également intervenu. Puis pour la ville de Beausoleil afin de relayer en direct mon exposition. De même pour la galerie Pikinasso à Roanne.
Lorsque s'est ouvert à Nice le MUSEAAV Musée Espace d'Art Actuel & Virtuel, Pirats a été invité à Nice pour organiser une exposition qui réunissait pour la première fois des artistes du Monde virtuel donnant lieu au premier évènement de ce type en France.
La rigueur dont fait preuve Pirats a permis, à chaque fois, de réaliser des évènements novateurs et pouvant s'ancrer dans la durée.
Je n'ai pas hésité à participer aux derniers projets que m'a proposé Pirats car je sais que tout se déroule au mieux grâce à un ensemble de compétences allant du montage d'expos, de l'infographie jusqu’à la maîtrise des réseaux sociaux et de la communication.

Any organization is only as good as its members and the tone set by organizers. Pirats came to my attention while practicing and exhibiting art in the virtual world community of Second Life. There were many communities at that time but by far the most positive and inclusive was Pirats.
Natalie and Jean-Marc understand the artist and treat artists with respect and tireless support. Pirats was known to be extremely well managed and their shows enjoyable and well attended, a model for arts organizations in any world, virtual or physical.

I first discovered Pirats in Second Life in about 2009, a gallery who were showing work by artists from all over Europe. They were a great encouragement to me for exhibiting my art in a virtual world. After one particular installation that I created at Pirats, called ‘White Dance’,
I was invited to make a video of my work, which was then shown at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai doing part of the history of machinima, it was the 1st one that machinimas had been presented as art. This video can still be seen on youtube, featuring many of the avatars who visited the Pirats gallery.

I can only say that Pirats is the best art community in SL and RL. They are inclusive and supporting of new artists all over the world, bringing them together from all backgrounds and offering a nourishing, creative community for them to flourish.
Personally they have helped me many times, guiding me, pushing me to better my self and made me feel part of the "family".
I wish them best of luck in there endeavors and upcoming projects.

Pirats : C'est l'harmonie de l'efficacité professionnelle, de la sensibilité, de la gentillesse au service de la créativité des artistes et du partage au public.
Over the years the Pirats Art Network provided me with many opportunities to show my art.
They helped and supported me in many ways to grow as an artist.

J’ai eu plusieurs fois l’occasion de presenter mon travail 3D interactif par l’association Pirats sur Second Life.
Grace à leur structure très professionnelle j’ai pu élaborer en toute liberté des objets virtuels très complexes.

A virtual person allows to exist different in a different reality. It is about how identity can be played with and how that can make you aware of how you construct yourself.

Au cours de mon voyage de dix ans sur Second Life , j'ai eu l'immense plaisir d'exposer mes oeuvres dans les galeries Pirats gérées avec beaucoup de maîtrise par Nathalie Gobé et Jean-Marc Larroque . Ils ont fait de ces espaces d'exposition sur Second Life , des endroits très appréciés par les artistes .
Je les remercie de m'y avoir invité . Je leur souhaite beaucoup de réussite dans leurs futurs projets.

Cherchant un moyen d'exposer mes peintures RL au plus grand nombre de personnes sur Second Life, j'ai adhéré à Pirats Art Network, association toujours en quête d'innovation. Son but : une nouvelle façon de promouvoir l'art en faisant le plus possible un « pont » entre monde virtuel et monde réel.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié le sérieux et la sympathie des organisateurs. Les vernissages sont toujours révélateurs de nouveaux artistes originaires de tous pays dans des espaces aussi bien adaptés à l'art traditionnel qu'aux installations virtuelles d'art digital.

Sur Second life, j'ai eu la chance de rencontrer les fondateurs de l'association Pirats, Merlina Rococoko et Newbab Zsigmound. Créatrice numérique depuis plus de 10 ans, il m'a été possible de présenter assez souvent mes créations à l'occasion de vernissages que l'association Pirats organisait.
Au delà de l'univers numérique, j'ai pu, grâce à eux, faire la connaissance de nombreux artistes. Toutes ces merveilleuses rencontres artistiques n'auraient pas été possibles sans l'engagement profond de Pirats dans la promotion de l'art et de la création.
Un grand MERCI à Merlina et Newbab !

Ho sempre nel cuore la mia esperienza d'artista in Second Life fatta con il gruppo Pirats, che mi ha dato modo di cresere ulteriormente nel mio percorso.
Ricordo con piacere le splendide location e la squisita organizzazione che accompagnava le loro mostre e la deliziosa disponibilità dei curatori. Ho una grande nostalgia per il clima amichevole che ha favorito nuove amicizie e conoscenze, ho sempre sentito una forte appartenenza a questo splendido gruppo. Pirats è stata un'esperienza più che positiva! Mi piacerebbe ripeterla?...
Sì, in qualsiasi momento, anche subito!

A distanza di centinaia di esposizioni allestite in quegli anni insonni, folli ma intensi, e col caratteraccio che mi ritrovo ancora oggi, devo riconoscere che solo in due gruppi mi sono sempre sentito come a casa, circondato da amici, oltre che da artisti straordinari.
Uno di questi due è assolutamente quello di Pirats.
Merlina e Newbab, avrete sempre il mio affetto, la mia stima e il mio rispetto.

My experience with the Pirates group was positive in every way. I found Nathalie and Jean Marc both knowledgable and supportive of my artistic goals and vision. They offered excellent guidance and support while also allowing me the freedom to express myself as I wanted. I would recommend them without hesitation.
L'association Pirats a donné une visibilité à mes travaux artistiques et les expositions sur Second Life ont permis une diffusion à travers le monde, de plus de Pirats m'a permis de découvrir et de rencontrer de nombreux artistes et professionnels des arts avec qui j'ai pu échanger et créer ainsi un grand réseau professionnel et artistique.
Having been an artist most of my life, beginning with a studio in New York and later as a professor of art and design at a private college upstate, I’ve had quite a rewarding career.
But it wasn’t until I Joined the Pirats Arts Network in 2009 in the virtual world of Second Life that I found the dynamic community of artists that I had been looking for.
Under the leadership of Nathalie and Jean-Marc I was able to mount quite a number of large scale exhibits of my digital paintings, gaining legions of fans and collectors, even reaching a point where my avatar, Chrome Underwood, began having his own shows in the real world. None of this would have been possible without the Pirats Art Network.

The Pirats Art Network has been functioning internationally within the platform: Second Life supporting art and connecting artists since 2009; by offering nurturing virtual environments artists/musicians have been intelligently encouraged by the curators to digitally explore, express and develop within imaginative venues in the company of like-minded individuals. In this virtual world I have been proud to have been invited on numerous occasions to exhibit virtually and interact though the development of audio-visual installation work, which has ultimately evolved in to real-world exhibitions and research into creativity which has been disseminated internationally.
I have been very honoured to have been associated with this fine organisation and this new venture: art 1.0 I absolutely support and wish them every success.

The "Pirats Art Network" is an association totally dedicated to digital art in a digital environment called "SecondLife" and I had the honor and pleasure of being part of it for as long as this association was active.
The great strength and dedication of the two curators Nathalie Gobé and Jean-Marc Larroque was fundamental to ensure that this association became an important fulcrum in contemporary digital art. The best artists who have created and developed digital art in the digital environment have passed through this association.
I hope this association will once again shine in the firmament because they have been the best ever in all respects and many artists have to say thanks to them too if their name has had prestige in the exposition field.

I Pirats una meteora nel web, nell'Arte, una strada nella Cultura Moderna Globale, nella Contemporaneità. Una bomba Modernista Wi Pirats, tutti all'arrembaggio.
I loved all the Pirats exhibits, Each month was more exciting than the last. I received incredible exposure for my paintings and loved the variety of work which was displayed.
Pirats va ser la iniciativa privada artística més important de Second Life durant molts anys. Un veritable punt de trobada globalitzant en el cercle de tot tipus d'arts.
