Notice: Due to recent changes in my life, (read: new position at Canisius College in Buffalo) the Art.Technology meetings have been suspended. I hope to revive them at Canisius College soon. Art.Technology Art.Technology is a series of meetings that take place at the Department of Media, Communication and Technology at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. The events focus on the use of technology in contemporary art. The meetings explore the intersection of art and technology from the historical, technical and aesthetic perspectives. Virtual Galleries of SecondLife Three-dimensional online community of SecondLife has contributed to development of virtual art that can only be viewed in a virtual space. SecondLife owes its popularity to the fact that its participants are able to create the virtual world they “live in”. They buy parcels of land, they build their virtual homes, they are involved in trade and naturally they create works of art. During our meeting we had visited virtual galleries that offer reproductions of classical masterpieces, digital art, virtual sculpture, reconstructions of historical sites like Sistine Chapel, and reactive installations that are specific to virtual space of SecondLife.
