This is exciting. Nikki's Second Life's persona, Nicolasa Bonetto, her avatar visible above, is having an opening in a prestigious SL gallery. Twelve of her wall size paintings will be shown to other Second Lifers. It needs to be said that all these works are RL, or Real Life productions photographed and reissued in a virtual world. In a quaint parallel move, Nikki's Second Life art is being printed on real media, some of it woven into tapestries, all of it visible in a Real Life context. For those of you not able to access this virtual world, a movie of the gala opening will be shown here. Equally, a video of her Real Life exhibit will be shown on Second Life screen for the benefit of those who spend most of their days in Second Life. Oh I know! this is so confusing. I'm the geek that helps with the process. I dont have an avatar. I just have a blog to report all of that modern and quaint theater of the absurd.

That's amazing news!
I am currently writing about my own brief experience in SL that assisted in opening a small Fine Arts community gallery for Pre-Raphael period arts.
It takes a lot of work to open a gallery - and streaming video into a room is an art in itself!
Good luck, well done Nikki!
