The Art Space in Virtual Worlds

Cubes My latest articles in SLATE Magazine explore the notion of the art space in virtual worlds. In part one I analyse how some spaces are remediations of the real world and then in part two I pose ideas about what would be the ‘white cube’equivalent (the ideal environment to experience art) in a virtual world. I’ve opened up a forum thread at the end so anyone can add their own thoughts. In this 2nd issue of SLATE are reviews of art festivals and galleries in SL,an interesting article about a theatre production in SL by Anya Ixchel (Angela Thomas in RL) the editor of SLATE,and the second installment of the backbackers guide to SL:Sim Trekker. I love the idea of the last one:getting around SL on a budget! Anyway,there is plenty more:talk about the notion of identity in SL,relationships,science fiction and so on. Enjoy!
