I find the move into SL interesting as the hype seems not to be dying as quickly as I thought. Perhaps the hype has not met critical mass yet. Y'know, that place where hype becomes norm and then ignored as humdrum?
What is the art that is made by an avatar? I wonder if avatars can apply for the grant or only 'real' people? Does this mean that artists' avatars are art as well? If art is done in SL what is the exact context of the art? How much is 'art' and how much is it 'someone doing art'? How can we as artistic voyeurs (just wanted to use the word - hmmm delicious) connect with this kind of art? Where are the rules that determine the gaze? And being that this art is not necessarily one persons work, (teams can be up to three people) and the it is sponsored by three government agencies (this is an initiative of the Literature Board, Music Board and Inter-Arts Office of the Australia Council.), how can this be defined in a way that any of us know or understand? Who is going to see it? Is this the intended audience or the only audience? Why can I now answer any of these questions, but only ask them? Does two question marks ever make a question more questioning really??
