Second Life Art Exhibitions?

Hello, I am Rob Griffiths, an eLearning Consultant for TELR (Technology Enhanced Learning and Research) and coordinator of the Second Life project for Ohio State. Part of our vision for our Second Life presence is to foster community, and art shows are a wonderful way to build community and culture. Who may be a good person to talk to about working together to bring an OSU art show onto OSU's Second Life presence? Within Second Life, you can stream audio and/or video (so anything you may place on the web could also be played/heard/seen in-world), and you can also place images very easily in a gallery in-world. Set-up and space may be very simple or very complex...this even may be a way to extend your assumptions about exhibition space because you were always limited by physical space and properties.

Sincerely,
Rob Griffiths
