Brian Eno's 77 Million Paintings

The Long Now Foundation presented the North American Premiere of Brian Eno's 77 Million Paintings in June 2007 at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. A parallel event was also run in Second Life organized by Blueair.tv and built by Annabeth Robinson at which Brian Eno attended.

Cheen Pitney - Second Life Artist

An interview with a artist who is commissioned to make public sculpture in Second life. It's interesting that the sculpture are so reminiscent of the statuary found in public square in or cities and town. Apart from the fact that they are not reliant on gravity and float, little difference seems to be gained from the potential of a new media in a new context.
