Lets think of the major acitivites in SL.
They should be
SEX
RETAIL
DESIGN
RESIDENTIAL
GAMBLING
CLUBBING.
These activities are what shape the SL. Knowing most avatars come into SL to engage on one or more of those, how can we design to enhance this concept? We have to remember the intentions of the avatars to enter our space and give them what they can't get in RL.
In foucalts terms, these spaces should be structurally reminiscent of a prison. But in contrast to "real" prisons, they should be happy imprisonments because they operate not with repression but with seduction. Well said Foucalt.
I will be designing an art interface for an artist/artists. It serves its purpose as a building, but really isnt a building with the noral sturcture required.
Keeping in mind all the above mentioned principles in my blog, I hope to achieve a structure that can be used to display art.
Here are some of my sketches/brain storming notes:
