A Few Questions About Art

This is an embarrassingly unassertive post. I’m hoping to get a handle on the range of exhibition options artists are using - I mean for the most part new media artists. Of course there is the screen, the projector, and there is the website and the blog, but I came across this today and wondered what artists aspire to in the area of using new media to make virtual art part of the real world experience.

Last autumn the design retailer Target staged the “first “model-less” fashion show in the vast expanse of New York City’s Grand Central Terminal, with holograms sporting the latest fall and winter apparel lines strutting down virtual runways.”

The fascination of this is obvious. Artists are doing great work in Second Life but the holograph brings some of the virtual virtues to the real world. I picked up this from MIT but that apart there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot on the use of holography for exhibition.
