You are invited to attend a student poster exhibition hosted by Professor Michael Connors (RuArt Semaphore) and students in Art 356, Digital Print Production Techniques, University of Wisconsin-Madison. The posters are already in place, but plan to show up in avatar person December 18th, 1:00 – 3:00 pm PST (check for local time).

The posters are in one of the studios of the NMC Performing Arts Center (previously known as “Learning”), NMC Arts (143,97,25). Follow the signs to
exhibition.

The exhibition is part of a virtual learning system called Critique_Itâ„¢, developed at the UW-Madison in Second Life. Links to information about Critique_Itâ„¢ will be available at the opening.

Proffessor Connors notes:

My primary interest at this time is to explore the possibilities that online technology brings to the critique – a core element in the art curriculum. A virtual environment offers ways to visualize key concepts in the critique as well as provide a more extensive consideration of the students’ sources for inspiration. Online simulations help reveal and analyze the decision making process used by students during the development their ideas. A primary goal of the critique is to see one’s own work objectively through the eyes of others. This goal is not exclusive to the arts, but has applications in most academic fields.
