Hi Adam

There is a vr-art discussion list at jiscmail.ac.uk

It's been quiet there for a while, but many on that list may be interested
in following up these thoughts.

Hi All,
Thanks for a stimulating and intense discussion this month, it's been
really good - it's a shame it's finishing. I know I've got heaps more I'd
like to discuss. Having now experienced the full version of Beyond Manzanar
in the gallery (which is a really wonderfully moving experience), I'd
really like to resume the dialogue about 'immersion' with Tamiko and
others....

I have been thinking the same thing for quite a while now. I'm certainly up
for it. I've always found the Yahoo groups thing a little hard to use and
unreliable. If the interest is there, I would be willing to set up a
mailing list on my server, I have the space and bandwidth and would be
willing to donate the time to administer it. Assumedly it would be MailMan,
as it seems to be reliable, simple and is open source.

The list would specifically be about Web 3D as art, and would be limited to
that. I think it could include everything from the kind of highbrow
art/philosophy discussions such as we've seen on empyre this month, through
practical/philosophical discussions of MU space as medium, to prosaic
questions like 'how do I make a yellow cone in vrml?' and 'what's the
difference between vrml and x3d' and everything in between.

Could people indicate if they would be interested in such a thing? If the
interest is there, let's do it - if not, perhaps it just needs to be CC'd
mails to the handful of interesteds?

Thanks again everyone, and thanks to Melinda as always for her dedication
and hard work in keeping -empyre- going.
Adam.
