Art in Virtual Worlds








This week we'll take a look at and, if you want, go into the virtual world Second Life to see the kinds of immersive, interactive virtual art that can be made and experienced there. Today, I'll give you an overview of SL and virtual subjectivity (which has been the main topic I've been exploring through machinima, virtual art, and writing), and tomorrow you'll have the opportunity to learn how to build a 3d sculpture in SL in a workshop session, and then we'll visit some art installations.

Here are some screen shots of the new Welcome Island where you can learn the 6 most essential things you'll need to get around in SL.

Going to the MFA


Today we have class at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. We'll take my superfast sprint through Western art history, using some of the concepts to which Scott McCloud has introduced us. And see with our own eyes some of the paintings that we have been analyzing through digitized projections in our classroom. Exciting all around.
