Very happy to report that the prestigious WA Artist's Chronicle is carrying a story on the UWA Second Life activities (art in particular) as its lead story for the Jan/Feb 2011 issue, and features on the cover page (as above).
As previously announced, Lyn DiCiero, the Editor has kindly agreed to sit on the main panel for the UWA 3D Open Art Challenge. It is pleasing that digital / virtual art features prominently in the Editorial!
I would like to thank Ginger Alsop, Eliza Wierwight Trill Zapatero, Abraxas McAndrews and Lentelies Anatine who dropped in at short notice for an impromptu discussion with myself and the Editor (who was with me in RL).
Course the 3rd paragraph of the story should read, "Behind the UWA Second Life presence..."
Betty Tureau's 'Light Tower' features on the cover. Kudos Betty, and on page 6, one can clearly make out the works of Penelope Parx, Tensai Hilra, Takni MIklos and Davina Glitter

woohoo, two times in less than two weeks, UWA and digital arts are featured in RL arts journals! WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!
ReplyDeletev impressive....we are getting noticed..
ReplyDeleteSayumi swells with pride at seeing her University's Second Life prominence featured in a first world arts journal, also from her home town. Good on you, Lyn DiCiero, and thankyou for the boost this will give not only to Jayjay who so much deserves it, but to so many artists and arts managers from around the first world as much as the second!
ReplyDeleteWell done Jayjay and everyone at UWA! You guys have done so much to make online 3D virtual spaces like SL legitimate spaces for legitimately creative activities...all power to you!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent Jayjay, you and your team have done so much to expose all the fantastic work going on in SL to the outside world. THANK YOU!
