Viviamo in una realta la cui struttura e definita dalle invezioni dei mass media.
Le immagini stampate ed elettroniche sono i mattoni della nostra evolucione culturale
Today they are spoken very about Web 2.0 , but they are not spoken more, what means this acronym? The definition of one new generation of web sites is true. The You Tube, eBay, Google. and others show the two characteristics that join them. First: the contents come supplied from the community of who live on the web. According to: the services that they offer are free. In order to know best website the 2,0 a good point of departure is the http://www.web2magazine.blogspot.com/or if you want to learn more visited this site http://twopointouch.com/2006/10/31/10-free-ebooks-about-web-20/, with ten e-books of web2.0.
Now, for beginers , I recommend also these address:
Amazing week of events, exhibitions, performances, meetings and parties is really evidence to say “The city of design is Milan”.

We say “about” ten years, because actually a date which can certify the birth of blog does not exist. And, therefore, neither a true anniversary you allow us to celebrate a tenth anniversary does not exist.
There are many, more in USA who try to define what with exactness has been the first true and real blog, that is the first diary online and the form of a blog has taken. Some have identified date first of april 1997, when Dave Winer threw Sripting News, www.scripting.com blog which anchors today continues with honour his activity. Others think that the first has been John Barger and it started putting his comments on Wisdom Robot, www.robotwisdom.com on December 17th, 1997. But other think that everything is still begun before, as New York Times points out, that the father www.links.net/vita/web/start defines Justin Hall founder of the personal blogging, begun to his say in 1994.
Then, it is not interesting, all added, to know whether there is a date, because actually blogging structured about the end some years ninety, but in some way he has always existed. Since the beginning the personal pages were at the end some diaries, the forums were some collective debate spaces, bulletin board and the Fidonet were even existing before someone tried to imagine World Wide Web. Therefore it would be quietly possible to say that precursors of blog have arisen before the net itself.

Blogs get people excited. Blogs disturb and worry people. Some people distrust them. Others see them as a star of a new information revolution. One thing’s for sure: they’re rocking the foundations of the media “, said Julien Pain. Anyway this bookhttp://www.cyberjournalist.net/news/002934.php give us a basic informations about relative new kind communication ( blogs, blogging and bloggers)
These “online diaries” are even more varied than the mainstream media and it’s hard to know which of them is a news site, which a personal forum or one that does serious investigation or one that’s presenting junk evidence.It’s difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.
But blogging is a powerful tool of freedom of expression that has enthused millions of ordinary people. Passive consumers of information have become energetic participants in a new kind of journalism – what US blog pioneer Dan Gillmor calls “grassroots journalist” by the people, for the people.
From 17 February till 17 Marth next year, we will see again the most visually dynamic and celebrated stars of video game “ Second Life” http://secondlife.com/ in Postmasters Gallery, New York. This exhibition, called “ 13 Most Beautiful Avatars”, by Eva and Franco Mattes ( a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG), http://0100101110101101.org/index.html is result of their video game flanerie.
The Matteses have been living in virtual world for over a year, exploring this video game and their result is series of portraits. The 13 Most Beautiful Avatars images will be exhibited in the real-world. In Second Life‘s Ars Virtua Gallery, a 3D replica of this physical exhibition space has been recreated for presentation of an exhibition identical to the “real” one, and real presentation was at the Italian Academy in the Columbia University, New York.
These portraits reflect Second Life aesthetics, featuring the bright colors, “artificial” light, 3D shapes, and surreal perspectives that are typical of this virtual world .The avatars’ icons recall questions common to earlier eras of portraiture, including the cultural and psychological context of the images, and the relationships between high art and subculture, between contemporary art and “traditional” art forms, and between art and life itself.
Eva and Franco Mattes are known for their controversial artworks, and they are the recipients of the 2006 “Premio New York” grant, sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Cultural Institute, New York.
Before we met new kind of museum, let’s knowthe meaning of word “ virtual”.
Wiliam Gibson writes ( 1984), that we moved in another space “ virtual reality”, when we think on the way of virtual meaning. Philosopher Pierre Levy ( 1998) said, the word “ virtual” is derived from the Medieval Latin virtualis, itself derived from virtus, meaning strength or power.Strictly speaking, the virtual should not be compared with real but the actual, for virtuality and actuality are merely two different ways of being.
In other ways, a virtual museum is not a digital analog. We speak about real museum, but in artificial world. But this is not the sense that most people use the prase “ virtual museum” at this time, by which they generally mean “artificial museum”.
Among the first major online exhibitions, several were produced by the American Treasures of the Lybrary of Congres http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/. They showed the basic exhibition online format.
Then, Museo de Monterreys, “ Virtual Visit”, http://www.museohistoriamexicana.org.mx/museovirtual/index.html. for example allows visitors to look around the graounds of the museum, move from room to room and click on specific paintings for more informations abouth them. The Hamburg museumhttp://www.hamburgmuseum.de/d/htm_d/main.html has an extensive set of quick-loading, Quicktime player using to show each gallery.
Many of these concept to present art on digital way is best to understand like exhibitions online. Today, in new gallery of Charles Saatchi, http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/you can take a virtual tour of gallery and also create your own virtual gallery, which means that each visitor can be curator and director.
