Almost anything—text, sound, photos, motion media, music—can be digitized and presented on a computer, transmitted over an online network, and even displayed in virtual 3D space. Nettrice’s presentation shows how the Web 3.0 platform is beginning to transform and converge current web technologies into immersive, 3D spaces for art making and learning. Nettrice uses Second Life to expand art curricula and open up new bridges to connect and collaborate with students on a variety of topics.
