Catch of the day: Second Life’s new gallery
“Three artists are showcasing their art in a new virtual gallery….
The gallery has been developed by Depo Consulting in association with Galleryica…. ‘Most virtual galleries are like your average website, poorly designed without any sense of optimising a visitor’s experience,’ announced Depo CEO and creative director Peter Dunkley. ‘Ten Cubed has been designed by a professional architect to exploit fully the showcasing opportunities of the virtual medium.’
I’m sure he’s right. The inaugural show features the work of Chris Ashley, Scott Kildall and Nathaniel Stern, all interesting artists whose use of new technology makes them perfect for this sort of project….
So - nice design, nice publicity stunt. It’s made me check out the artists online anyway, via their own websites…..”
