Discussion of using the web as a virtual gallery for art. This is something that intrigues me and I've thought of collaborating with several local Austin artists in creating virtual galleries.

a lot of folks display their work on their websites, for sale or not. i went into one virtual place where it was like you walked through it (3d website).

Here's a new one by a guy who used to caretake and work on my property, Les Warren: http://www.leswarren.com It's black and white photography, and he has a studio set up on Main Street in Smithville.

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/28/arts/design/28ARTS.html?tntemail0 Concrete Dreams: Actual Museums With Virtual Art By MATTHEW MIRAPAUL The United States is a curio cabinet of quirky museums. Among them are the Mount Horeb Mustard Museum in Wisconsin, the Children's Garbage Museum in Stratford, Conn., and the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston. But there's a gap. Despite the pride that Americans take in our technological prowess, this country � unlike Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Japan � does not yet have a major institution devoted to Internet-based art works and other forms of computer art.

SITO. Digital art. The level of quality is incredible, considering that there's no editorial control. People post whatever they want. http://www.sito.org/cgi-bin/news/flash Bookmark this page. Visit it two or three times a week. Electronic Museum of Mail Art (EMMA) http://www.actlab.utexas.edu/emma/Intro/intro2.html Mostly old stuff (circa 1996) but very good quality. Mail Artists. http://www.art.net/~kiyotei http://www.natalukas.com/pages/mail.htm

Sito.org is great. If you're in to adventure and serendipity.
