I received an invitation to do a work in SL - and that has been my focus. It is unfortunate if someone misunderstood it and had a different expectation. At the same time, I do think your point is relevant when it comes to RL/SL presentation - how to present a work of SL in a RL exhibition space. Unfortunately the RL exhibition came as an extra bonus - I didn't have either equipments or other possibilities to be able to present my work in the best possible way. (For example, for the RL exhibit, I originally wanted to build a room with four-way wall projections - a "mirror" room of the SL work with on-going sound.) I completely agree that a mere projection of a work of SL is not the most exciting thing in a RL exhibit - you can experience the work that way even at home - makes you wonder why it should be at a museum. Hopefully up-coming artists of the show will have more time to focus on the intersection between RL/SL.

Let me begin my descpription by telling, that I had great expectations of the FL (= RL?)- installations at SMK. Having been a citizen of SL for quite a time, I did not have as high expectations of the installations in SL. I must say I was rather disappointet og the installations at SMK. I hoped to see more real life-work at the museum, instead of the computers for the vistitors to log on to SL. I find Mogens Jacobsens work, with the connection between RL/FL and SL, very exhiting because it takes advantage og being a work of art situatet in both cyberspace and RL at the same time. I was less amazed with the work of Sachiko Hayashi / Goodwind Seiling, maybe because I am used to take my avatar on adventures in SL. Maybe if the technique, the sound and the screen, had been more advanced, the installation of this work at SMK had been a greater experience? I may have misunderstood the concept of the exhibition? I thought that there might be more focus on the parallels between the two worlds or even connections as in Mogens Jacobsens work. It seemed to me, also with the first speekers introduction to the exhibition, that much of the project is to launch SL at SMK. Then I would think that it might be better with a lot of computers for people to log on and create avatars. To people with some knowledge of cyberspace and SL, this exhibition might seem a bit trivial and unadvanced. But when theese harsh words are spoken: Thanks for the project! I am looking forward to follow the works. I went to the first openening of the exhibition at SMK.
