Peopling the virtual world
Ariella Furman makes real money in virtual worlds. How? Building presences in Second Life, using her film and media arts degree.
He was fascinated by Disney World when she went there for her first summer vacation as a college graduate, and when she got back to Ivyland, in Bucks County, she decided to invest her time in making machinimas (videos) in Second Life.
Here you can find a long and interesting interview to Ariella, which I suggest you to read.
In my view, those forms of art are perfectly meaningful in Second Life, and here art may be even less expensive and more interesting, in some specific contests such as videos. Creating a video (see the virtual visit of Assisi, for example), or reproducing a theatrical scene (the virtual study of MacBeth).
Do you have any particular art show or art reproduction to suggest?
