Another concurrent art exhibition both in Second Life and Real™ Life will happen at the end of June featuring Brian Eno's art installation, 77 Million Paintings. According to the Long Now Foundation:

He first created 77 Million Paintings to bring art to the increasing number of flat panel TV's and monitors that often sit darkened and underutilized...

The installation is mesmerizing; comprised of flat panel monitors, running multiple instances of 77 Million Paintings, the kaleidoscopic displays and slow, rhythmic evolution of the artwork create a singular experience for the viewer.

The Second Life venue hasn't been decided yet, but the show is set to open the same day that the art show in San Francisco does. I don't consider myself a critic of Second Life, more like some one who never had that much interest in it. However, given that I can not physically see this exhibit at this time, the fact that it will be available online makes me re-think becoming a Second Life citizen. Besides, it's so much easier to enjoy and analyze the art when you don't have security guards constantly glaring at you as if you had a big, drippy ice cream cone in your hand. Kim Phu
