  1. Thanks guys. So far I created an avatar that looks like Warhol. I think if he was in SL he would like to create a perfect version of himself because he was insecure about his appearance. He might also try a woman avatar out but end up settling on himself because he would like people to recognize him. I then made a video showing Warhol looking at his art in the game, sleeping, going to a nightclub, and getting a blow job. I Show him sleeping to interact with Warhol's sleep which was a 7 hour film of man sleeping that provided a contrast to those who were awake all the time due to methamphetamines. Virtual characters do not need sleep but showing one sleeping could have the same effect. A player can log off and can start again from the same spot anytime. Why sleep when there is no need to? In the last part of the sleep video I demonstrate that the Avatar’s eye is actually open. It cannot close to fall asleep because there is no need. I also depict Warhol engaging in virtual sex to see if it provided a better substitute to real life sex which he did not enjoy much. Anyone have other ideas or critiques? Consensus is not a good measure of art. There have to be reasons for something to be considered art. A work cannot be dismissed as not being art at first glance. I think this is what happening with video games, people are just looking at the most popular ones and ignoring others. The guardian piece that says, "The player cannot claim to impose a personal vision of life on the game, while the creator of the game has ceded that responsibility." This Ignores games like Dear Esther or Braid that forces the player to think about the games intentions.
  2. Hmm yea maybe I should have phrased that better. I know art can be created in SL but would it be considered art by others. Lots of people did not consider his Brillo boxes art because they just looked like copies but he recreated them to show everyday objects can and should be considered art. Maybe he would use SL to hold a virtual gallery opening for his work or just go to lots of parties. I am trying to think how could use SL to reflect American life? Anyone have ideas?
  3. Hi all, I am doing a project for a Andy Warhol class and the assignment is to create an Warholian object. I am imagining what Warhol would do in SL. So far I was thinking he would like to be anybody with an avatar, be able to instantly copy things, and question can art be created in a video game. Anyone have other ideas of what Warhol would do in SL?
