Slatenight, one of Second Life’s the first periodicals which attempted to do serious art criticism, seems to have disappeared altogether. I recently contacted Christy Dena, who wrote about some of my earliest attempts to move Imaging Place into Second Life, to see if I could retrieve the articles. I thought it might be of interest to link the following articles here.
The White Cube of the Virtual World Art Space, part one (2006)
The White Cube of the Virtual World Art Space, part two (2006)
Art and Aporia: Imaging Place (2006)
Border Art (2006)
I’ve need to create a more dimensional interface for the Imaging Place work in Second Life. The problem was that I need links from Beijing to Sao Paulo. I have had the idea to simply use a globe for some time. I used data from the Visible Earth project.
As in earlier versions of Imaging Place, you can navigate to locations using the ENTER signs. You will need to see it up close, but I even got a thin cloud layer working.
Imaging Beijing has been relocated. Teleport now.
