welcome to the artworld market report a critical review and journal of the virtual arts welcome to a critical review of virtual culture what is real click on these links for rss feed features blog editorials contact bronzeville etudes riffs moves from second life to unity3 platform bronzeville etudes riffs this is an archived article from 2014 for an update onthe work of philip mallory jones work view his vimeo and his website in a major expansion of concept artist philip mallory jones has moved the development of bronzeville etudes amp riffs onto the unity 3 game development platform which will make it available on web browsers and on portable devices that use the ios and android operating systems he now calls this work an immersive graphic novel open it and you step into the chicago south side and experience life there as a black american from the turn of the 20th century to the 1950s jacque quijote is the avatar of artist philip mallory jones in the second life virtual world we selected the work of jacque quijote in the sweet bye bye as a pick of the week in may 2007 and featured this work in our 2007 print monograph the second life art world five years later i asked the artist about these developments awm what made you change platforms from the second life virtual world to the unity 3 game development platform pmj hit the wall of prim count no empty full sim available so development goes in different direction i ve always been developing the piece more or less simultaneously on both platforms awm has the change from a massively multiplayer online system to a single player platform changed the way you script this work pmj entirely but i ve always been thinking in that direction now i m getting serious about it the unity environment in several significant ways simplifies some concept and design problems as someone raised to me some time ago what does it do to the illusion of the piece when an 8 ft leather clad dominatrix is walking around or a dragon i m enjoying thinking about narrative and navigation in this more controlled yet open environment awm in sl you could meet people from all over the world inside your virtual environment this changes it from performance art where you would be immersed in it with the players in real time to being more like a multimedia installation what do you lose or gain from this as an artist pmj that aspect to the transformation is accurate the performance component to the sl installation was always a troubling aspect to me as herding rehearsing multiple avatars poses numerous challenges on the other hand i do see an approach that is feasible in sl which is deeply impacted by experiencing bryn oh s extraordinary rabicorn epic part of the delicious challenge of the unity3d space is to make it alive for the visitor i gain a sense of control in terms of the experience and a precision tool set that also includes daz3d studio carrara 3d and poser the current development toward web browser app opens a different mode of accessibility awm had you always visualized it as an immersive graphic novel or when did that concept hit you pmj the concept was always immersive graphic novel that was born in the in the sweet bye bye installation envisioning those narratives as immersive scenes into which one could step sl was an indispensable sketchbook for bronzeville etudes riffs whereas it was the raison d tre for in the sweet bye bye the sl piece had evolved to the point where it was either going to get a lot bigger and more functionally complex or stop in place first life to second life mr jones has also written an extensive illustrated essay on his development of immersive technology art beginning with his first heathkit quartz crystal radio receiver as a youth in the 1950s it is required reading for anyone interested in the creative process the essay first life to second life notes on the design and development of a synthetic world installation in the sweet bye bye an immersive memoir can be read online philip mallory jones was artist in residence at ohio university s a esthetic technologies lab when he created in the sweet bye bye in april 2011 he created a series of mind maps that visualize his current research and development for bronzeville etudes riffs there are two kinds one charts the narrative threads and navigation paths the other is an accurate street map in four parts 1925 1955 his current work in progress advances the development of narrative immersive space and is a quintessential example of the artistic exploration of virtual technology

ramona artworld interview seifert surface more features the law of futuristic persons the terasem movement inc a not for profit organization that publishes two terasem journals the focus is on the rights of people who will be revived from biostasis cryogenic preservation of legally but not irreversibly dead or near dead people waiting for a cure and cyberstasis people whose consciousness is preserved digitally does immersion in virtual reality involve similar legal issues as the technology of personality archiving gets closer vr citizens may opt to transition from dna to silicon existence the legal ethical issues they are dealing with might make you think of arthur c clarke or isaac asimov but relevance is relative in light of current concerns about ai and fmri for example one of the papers in the journal of personal cyberconsciousness is pros and cons of corporate personhood for transbemans by dr martine rothblatt dr rothblatt imposes the legal notions of corporate personhood upon transbemans or futuristic persons specifically those who transition from flesh ware to software and may lack the traditional dna based biological substrate there are over 20 issues of the above journal and their journal of geoethical nanotechnology with articles by prominent scientists lawyers psychologists etc in the terasem online archive how to preserve large builds following

investment artworld market almanac virtual art gallery decline continues on january 6 2014 there were 358 galleries listed on sasun steinbeck s art galleries of second life website this is down from 442 in january 2013 and brings the number of galleries back to the october 2007 level the growth rate of art galleries in the second life world maintained a pattern of long term growth beginning in 2006 that was nearly linear with a few leveling off periods but no significant decline through 2010 when there were nearly 700 active galleries the statistics are kept by sasun steinbeck creator of the art gallery owners group chart through 5 2010 courtesy of sasun steinbeck redlines added by artworld market as the chart above makes graphically clear the number of confirmed galleries stayed near 400 from the end of 2007 until may 2008 growth resumed and crossed the 500 mark in september after november 1 the trend briefly reversed but quickly recovered the summer of 2009 saw a slight decline in the number of galleries which hovered at about 650 after that the number remained fairly constant confirmed galleries must display the art galleries of second life kiosk which dispenses the gallery list and hud that enables gallery goers to visit every gallery in the group this is an awesome tool if you have not used it and is the best way to discover what hundreds of artists are currently doing it is possible that the gallery growth rate continued during the flatline period but was not apparent because new gallery owners had not become aware of the group or had not configured their kiosk
