Planning ideas on how to curate and display a digital exhibition showcasing a collection of works made during the semester as well as final outcomes and works.
List of template galleries that are most appealing for this project and work (how does this work work well for you based on your TCRE aesthetics?)
Although there are many exhibition spaces available, I believe Agora suits best the mood, aesthetics and genre of my TCRE works. The environment is large enough for the user to walk around and explore all the hidden corners, going through an immersive journey of discovery. It also features 2 main galleries, developing on the 2 sides of the space, as well as a large Auditorium where avatars can sit and admire the content on the large screen (I could use this opportunity and space to exhibit some of my best outcomes/works, perhaps creating short animations as well?). The futuristic and sci-fi aesthetics of this low-poly environment also suit well the dissonant cyberpunk look I was aiming for when developing my TCRE experiments. There are a wide selection of colour schemes that come with this exhibition template, however I believe the bright pink colour palette would be the best choice for the purpose of this exhibition. It suits well the cyberpunk aesthetics, chosen as inspiration genre and style, but at the same time, it leaves enough space for the exhibition to breathe and showcase the various dissonant works. After walking through the 2 main exhibition/gallery spaces (on the left and right of the environment), it is possible for avatars to keep walking outdoors, on a long balcony space which allows them to walk around the exhibition from the outside, and admire the beautiful purple sky, emphasised by large bright yellow lanterns.
List some merging ideas of how you would create an exhibition of your processes and digital media examples. How would you showcase them to the public, any ideas on how to edit and curate the concept/works/final exhibition in a digital space?
Using the 'EXPLORE' tab, review by comparing and contrasting two existing Spatial.io gallery spaces you can find. Include screen snaps up on a blog post pointing out what you like about how the space has been used to express the artist/designer's work. What would you incorporate of their style or do differently?
PORTALS
Consider if you would like to include this function within your spatial gallery design. If so start to think about how you can best do this. For example, would you have one gallery dedicated to digital media artworks and a portal to a gallery all about processes? Or, would you like to include processes and artworks all in one gallery...?
Options that suit the style and aesthetics: Haven Stage, Black Isle Gallery, Blue/Red/Pink Aeries Gallery
CONCLUSION AND POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
Discuss some business/market opportunities you have researched that Spatial Galleries offer you as a designer/artist that other platforms/formats do not (NOTE - you will need to research this to present case study examples to support your ideas)
Feedback
use previous staff, activities, visual representations etc. developed during the semester to include in the gallery as process. Design is process, process is your work.
A4 is not just a copy of A3. It' curated correction of your process and work resulting from your research, practice, work, etc.
Use notes between A1 and 2 and see connections, emerging practices, examples that can show parts of your process
Process = notes, images, works, media that show process. Can include some text in exhibition to support your visuals
Text to be curated and distilled as well in the gallery, no big slabs of text, ,only enough to support your exhibition, concept, process, progress, work, techniques/media/tools used and showcased, audiovisual outcomes, exhibition space, exhibition meaning etc...
iterate your way through the process from A1 to 2 trough to 3. See the process as a whole, not as single assignments. Find small gems and hidden things to bring out and curate.
