Hello Itchies!

I Just started The work on my newest Project. I am building a Museums hall forvirtual and playfull arts. My plan is to build a platform for Digital, Virtual and Game Art where it can be shown in a museal context.  I am currently building a 3D model of a typical museum structure (entrance counter, cafe, banner, giftshop etc. )  this main hall will lead to diffrent rooms where art projects and some information on the artists will be shown. Just like a real life museum... but on you computer.

The plan is to do an open call for Artists every 3 months, where they can submit their work or ideas for virtual artworks (be it little interactions or just nice models but prefarably art that engages with its digital nature) and a short bio. The participating artists will then get acces to a git repocitory and get one room to form after their likings. If they have an already existing Projects or need help implementing their work i will support them as good as possible witht that but at least in the beginning  i can not accept whole games that are already done since the artworks need to be implemented directly in the museum.

Iwill start a jam for the first open call when i'm finished, but feel welcome to already apply here in the comments or share your suggestions or ideas.

Cheers and until soon,

Jonas.

Finished the design for the exterior of the main hall. The idea was to make a strukture that resembles a triangle 3D Mesh but has also bearing elements to suggest it being a real physical building. I wanted to play with the idea of a place that shows art, that is only possible in a digital world but is still acting as close as possible like a real world museum as we know it.

Next steps will be a blocking out of the interior and after that placing some surrounding buildings and vegetation.

I plan to start actively looking for artist in about two weeks.

Well i didn't get nearly as mutch time to work on this as i wanted. Just started modelling the surroundings but dang i'm slow.

I decided to tear down the disputed rebuild of the "Berliner Schloss" and instead put this Museum there. so i have a very good plan to build the sourroundings.

I have to adjust some proportions a little but i think i will not focu to mutch on super ritch graphics for now, for three reasons:

-no time

-no budget

-and i kind of want to see, if i can make it run on ipads, since i see kind of an potential there to introduce digital and game art to a broader audience.

That's a very cool idea. Hope you can finish it.
