Silicon Estates is Alive and Well!

Here’s what I’ve been up to tonight — listing some of my many architectural creations in second life.

They can be carried as virtual charms, or actually set up in a second life environment. You can rent them for about $20 a month, often even less, and there’s enough room in there for several villagers.

What I thought might work is to set up a small village, not too many prims, for maybe 20 people, each contributing a dollar a month to the Village Project, under someone’s private ownership, so it can develop commercially.

My thought was a shopping village that’s open only two hours per week, on either Saturday or Sunday.

Goods can be displayed and purchased directly from the in-game environment, and payment is automatic and instantaneous, exchanging lindens for an item that goes into the inventory of the buyer.

The spaces could function in many different ways on a social dynamic level. Commercially, I can’t say as much, but these have functions in the MetaVerse — it can be translated into the metaverse language, or just plain copied.

That’s where good design comes in.

Now, what about making some things and putting them up  on the marketplace, and making a virtual exhibition showroom out of the results?

That’s exactly what I’m doing here as an indication of just one possible direction this could take, and the rest is up to you to figure out.

See You At The Top!!!

Virtual Art, not Digital Art!

What I produce is virtual art — housed within the context of a 3-D environment. While it is arguably digital, that’s not how it will become known in the future, and virtual art IS the wave of the future, particularly that art aimed specifically at the cellphone user.

Yes, your 22nd century art collection will be housed within your cellphone or on the cloud, and collectors will go to great lengths to achieve uniqueness.

I have a very sophisticated ten-key padded lockable flash drive, into which I intend to place my UNIQUE Virtual Fine Art, to insure its scarcity. Continue reading

Welcome to my Virtual Gallery!

This is my new ALL VIRTUAL gallery. I offer thousands of original works of art, all in my well-established and very dry and cool on-site storage buildings, made by Tuff Shed. They are tight and stay nice and are easily temperature and humidity controlled.

I have been playing around with some ideas how we artists might still be able to earn some sort of livelihood — keeps us off the breadline for the while, if we’re lucky. Continue reading
