Daniël Vandermissen:

Congratulations for the work you have submitted. All the work transmits art.
The music, the images, the toughts... and the ideas you give to us about applying Second Life for artistic purposes.

I want you to tell us what are the main possibilities for art in Second Life?

Dear, you asked about the art-possibilities in SL. Of course you can look at the slideshow to see something about this possibilities, show in video. In fact you can consider SL as an art-tool with possibilities and limits. Compare with a black drawingpencil, it only can draw black, not colour, if you like to have color you need colourpencils. In SL you create in 3 dimensions, in colour based on basicvolumes like cube, sphere, cone, etc. You can expand, hollow them, make them (semi)transparant, etc. Give them colors (like you do in painting or in programmes like the Gimp/Photoshop, etc.). You also can give the syurfavce for instance the upperside of a cube, a texture (stone, wood, metal, etc .. also a patron like zebrastripes or a textslogan). A lot of textures are free already in your toolbox of SL others you can find in freeshops in SL ... and you also can create them yourself in a programme like Gimp/Photoshop and than import for use in SL. You see unlimited possibilities in 2D (textures, you also can upload a painting or drawing you scanned) and 3D, buildins, sculptures, animals, robots, ... complete environments, installatiions, performances ... The limit? the space and capacity of the PC and the place in SL where you are ... Opportunity everything tyou can imaginate and try to work out anyway (alone or togehter with other users in SL) ... Succes.
