Presented in association with the first of a series of articles in Aperture wherein Fred Ritchin explores “postphotographic” media and emerging technology, this discussion focuses on the 3D virtual world Second Life, created entirely online by its residents. Panelists include Fred Ritchin, NYU professor and a contributing editor of Aperture; Michael Van Horn, curator of the Joseph Monsen Collection in Seattle, who has organized shows about and within Second Life; Richard Minsky, founder of SLART magazine, a critical review and journal of Second Life art; and Michael Schmelling, a photographer whose work has appeared in such publications as the New York Times Magazine and Wired, and has recently completed a commissioned project on Second Life. This panel is presented by the Aperture Foundation in collaboration with the Photography Department of Parsons The New School for Design and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, with generous support from the Kettering Family Foundation and the Henry Nias Foundation. This program is made possible in part by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
