Hi, and welcome to the ArtsPlace SL blog. This is primarily where I'll post news and updates about
ArtsPlace SL, my home in
Second Life (SL), but I'll also use it to share my experiences of SL more generally.
Who am I? My name is Art Fossett and I've been a resident in SL for a couple of weeks. Not long... but long enough that I know I like it. And long enough the begin building stuff. Stuff like ArtsPlace SL, a space in SL intended to allow libraries, museums, archives and galleries to come together with artists and like-minded people in building innovative digital creations.
I've no idea how or whether this is going to work out... it may all come to nothing. But it seems to me that there is a potential in this pace for interesting things to happen.
In RL my name is Andy Powell. I work for
Eduserv, a UK not-for-profit charity that works to support the effective use of ICT in education. I'm Head of Development for the
Eduserv Foundation, a role that is largely about providing advice to the education community about the use of ICT and about providing some funding to support that where we can. In RL, I blog at
eFoundations. To be honest, I'm not yet sure how my RL role and my ArtsPlace SL role are going to intersect.
Anyway, that's enough for now... I'll try and keep posting here regularly, as my experience of second life grows.
