Note: Because of its new terms of service, you will probably not want to produce commercially marketable videos in Second Life, because Second Life claims the right to sell your products.  I am using  Kitely for such production.

2013 ART: The illusions of Harter Fall

The illusions of Harter Fall
-
I recently  posted this piece on M.C. Escher: M.C. Escher. Walk into the art .  Soon after, I got a note from Harter Fall suggesting that if I liked illusions, I might want to look at his collection.  I did.

"gonna start sharing some clips made by people that visited my last exposition called spirit thank you all very much for your photos and clips ."

What's happening here?

• A work of virtual art. 
• Brought to life by the visitors
• Visual commentary. 
• Now expressed in video by the artist 
• Summarizing the visual comments. 
• Is the video "real" art?

Is the video "real" art?
You can watch it on TV.  Surely it is at least as real as the evening news.  In any case, it is available to a large audience.  You could put commercials around it, just as they do with the evening news segments.  Probably not Viagra commercials.  Different demographics.  
-
You might want somebody to curate a collection of these.  And someone to introduce the segments.  Maybe a French version of Alistair Cooke.  

-

Some people might even choose to watch things like this on TV, now that they read most of the evening news earlier on the internet.  Not a mass audience.  But you don't need a big audience to pay for this kind of production.  This is not like wrapping the Reichstag. 
-
Yes, I pulled a switch on you.  From the abstract academic issue of "real" art to the concrete pocket-book issue of commercial art.   That's because I want to see virtual art grow.  To do that, it needs to draw revenues that exceed the costs.  
-
How some artists encourage visual comments

• Put the visitor in the art: offer free clothing that fits the art
• Invite people to take and publish stills and videos
• Tell how to send visual comments to the artist
• Make clear that the visual comments may be used in a video summary

2013 ART: VIDEO: Creative Collaboration, Exquisite Corpse narrative in art

Creative collaboration, 
Exquisite Corpse narrative,
In Second Life art
-
Exquisite corpse

• Method of collecting/assembling words or images from multiple people.  
• Each person sees some cue, such as the end of the previous contribution.  
• That person adds a contribution and passes the task to the next person.
• The technique was invented by Surrealists

-
   
-
Watch on YouTube
-
The video above presents an exquisite corpse produced in Second Life with support from Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA).  
-
The method of construction fits very well in the Second Life environment and will no doubt be used more frequently now that we have a video to tell about it. I will be watching for more videos  like this. 
-
Videos of virtual art, done by the artists, provide a lasting version of the art that is available to the general public on the web.  They also remain available to artists, art students and art collectors.

Simple answer:(Viewer 3.2)  Look at the white navigation bar near the top of your viewer window. You see: The name of the sim you are in and the name of the parcel.   Right click on the navigation bar to see some options about what it displays and what you can do with it.  I like to have it show coordinates and parcel properties.
