Purpose & Infrastructure: MissionTo explore how famous pieces in traditional art can take on a

virtual form, in the most direct way—by direct adaption and interpretation, from a number of different SL artists.

To utilize the 3d/interactive element of a virtual world in the creation of an art gallery of old and famous artwork in a new form.

“The role of art is to make a world which can be inhabited.” —William SaroyanUltimately, to create worlds “composed” of paintings, so that you might

be able to “live” inside one. Or, at least to walk into one…

Primtings Museum

Museum Infrastructure I Designed to “feel” like an RL museum, where visitors can explore and “stumble

upon” an exhibit—but, also with some SL perks: Each primting has a direct TP LM, with identifying picture. Some primtings are listed in Search. Primtings Maps allow for instant TP to location. Primtings TP Wall has a directory of all primtings, organized by Movement. Signage Accompanying Each Exhibit:

Guide Sign summarizes details SL Artist Name RL Artist Name Painting Name Movement (Color-Coded) Primtings Serial Number

Portrait of 2D/RL “painting” Artist’s Statement expounds on SL interpretation

http://Primtings.com has a web directory of all primtings, with photo previews and further contextual information.
