\nThe perfect art gallery? … a view of Second Life’s Ten Cubed gallery<\/small><\/p>\n

I’ll be honest. My experience of Second Life<\/a> is fairly limited. … So you’ll have to forgive me if I’m not as excited as some people about the launch of Ten Cubed, a new art gallery in Second Life, which goes live here today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gallery has been developed by Depo Consulting in association with Galleryica<\/a>. Don’t get me wrong; it all looks very well designed. “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.”<\/p>\n

I’m sure he’s right. The inaugural show features the work of Chris Ashley<\/a>, Scott Kildall<\/a> and Nathaniel Stern<\/a>, all interesting artists whose use of new technology makes them perfect for this sort of project….<\/p>\n

So – nice design, nice publicity stunt. It’s made me check out the artists online anyway, via their own websites. Which is the only place I’d even contemplate buying their art.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
