Virtual Artists’ Immersive Discoveries in a Virtual 3D Frontier
"Virtual art had its debut in a cave at Twin Rivers near Lusaka, Zambia, about 35,000 years ago, with two dimensional images of Stone Age man in his elemental environment, his world. Before it became synonymous with the digital realm, virtual meant existing in the mind, especially as a product of the imagination. Virtual can refer to things that mimic their “real” equivalents and it denotes work that is realized or carried out chiefly in an electronic medium. Virtual art goes beyond these definitions in Second Life." -Nettrice Gaskins

VISITING ARTIST-TENZIN YIGNYEN
Tenzin completed his 4th Mandala at MassArt this one focused on healing and curing illness.
"Watching him work was beautiful, all I could think about was the amount of patience and dedication it would require to complete such a task. Hearing Tenzin speak was whole other experience in itself. He was very inspirational. Tenzin helped me appreciate the people around me and inspired me to be more patient and loving. His stories brought joy to me and I realized that my purpose is to bring joy into this world whether it be through my artwork or by helping a lost person find their way through an unfamiliar city. In all honesty, I am so glad that I took part in this assignment because it reminded me of who I am and what I love."
