VIRTUAL MOVES wass a row of 4 international art exhibitions in SecondLife (SL) and at Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen organized by TAGGING ART. The aim of the exhibitions was to explore and challenge SL as a platform for artistic practice, a public space, and a cultural community and to discuss critically how SL affects our notion of reality. The set off is a critical point of view and experimental focus. VIRTUAL MOVES explored the blog and SL as different digital platforms.
8 artists were invited to create a visually moving art piece each in which they consider SL as a platform for art and artistic interaction. The works were created especially for this event by Mogens Jacobsen (DK), Sachiko Hayashi (JP/SE), Nis Rømer (DK), Maria Lavman Vetö(SE), Annette Finnsdottir (DK/IS), Kristoffer Gansing and Linda Hilfling(SE/DK), Jan Northoff (DE) and Ida Grøn (DK/UK).
Many of the artists created art works, which have both a virtual and a physical dimension. SL Economics, Virtual Identity, Public Space in SL, SL Gender Studies, Collective Memory and Virtual Archive are some of the themes under discussion in the art works. The progress of developing the exhibitions and works of art could be followed and commented on through the Tagging Art blog.
The 4 openings took place in SL and SMK in the period January - March 2008.
