Since I had a day off in real life and did not have time to visit the
Louvre, I took out my Gallery Hud and decided to see what was going on in the
art exhibit world. The Gallery hud is a great way to find and visit lovely
art places without much difficulty searching for them. You have a choice of
large extensive exhibits , like the Rose Theater and Art Gallery. You can spend
a long time at this venue , massive in build and absolutely gorgeous in itself.
There are rooms and rooms of art exhibits by various sl artists to enjoy. Or you
can arrive at a the Palais Orleans , a three gallery site that I visit often
because Morgana Nagorski has two of the galleries exhibiting artists that change
every few months and she always has grand opening parties.
Right now there is
an exhibit called ‘After Dark’ in Gallery1 that is worth a visit. The University
of West Australia is another huge exhibit area where there are always challenge
exhibits to be found. They are all amazing to see, so much creativity in these
pieces. Every time I go there I am floored by the diversity. Space for Art is
another wonderful place to visit. You will find a number of lovely builds
scattered about the whole area. I took a tram ride and stopped off at a
whimsical installation by Haveit Neox . Well worth a tour at this region. One
gallery that I visited for the first time was in Elven Realm called
Kaleidoscope,where the whimsical art of many artists , best viewed at midnight
, is displayed in wooded groves . It was a pleasant visit. I made a
stop at the virtual Chelsea Hotel at Gallery 23 to check out the art pieces
there . I took a quick look at some of the smaller galleries in the hud. My last
visit was to Serendipity to the Art of Judilynn . It is a lovely little gallery
filled with her own art. She is a real life and SL artist. I have seen her art at
several places in Second Life.
The art hud is a creation of Sasun Steinbeck. It is a
random selection hud that “will take you on self-guided tours of locations in SL. Simply click on the left and right hands to go to the previous/next location. Click the little map icon in the middle to see the currently selected location again. Click the stars below the navigation controls to rate the gallery you are at.” It gives you a choice of types of galleries to visit also. If you are into paintings and sculpture , chose Gallery , or you may choose Photography , or Erotic, depending on your fancy. Sasun has extensive hud systems at her SasTech HQ but you can go there to pick up a hud and information about the Galleries of SL at her office ( http://maps.secondlife.com/
This is a great way to do
something different in Second Life when you need some quiet time , or with a friend, to
visit the art galleries of sl and see the amazing creations that exist here .
There is another possibility with the hud. You can take a bus tour if you like.
Wear the hud and click bus tour on the menu and you will receive an
invitation to teleport to some gallery somewhere on the grid . Other bus riders
may join you as you travel.There is another choice , events, that will tell you
about a party going on at one of the galleries . It is great fun to
use. Consider it a staycation in Second Life. Often people say to me “I need
to do something else for a change”. Well, here you are. All free.
