Sim Street Journal #17 (wear or rez) Version 1

Sim Street Journal supports the arts that make the virtual world most relevant. Artists infuse technological innovation with context and meaning. They push the boundaries and find the commonalities. They set aside nationalities in favor of a universal language.

Sim Street Journal #17 celebrates 3D artists as nurtured by the famous 3D Art Challenges. It highlights moments to remember and what can be learned from the organizers. Then award-winning artist Carmsie Melodie is profiled, who was not only inspired by the competitions, but developed creatively because of them.

Contents include:
• “Contrast Within and Without” presents Eleanor Medier’s choices as a judge. Though her vote was only one of over twenty jurors, all of her selections were winners, though in a different order.

• “Relevant Ripples” describes the impact of the 3D Art Challenges.

• “Art Accessible” explores what we have learned from artistic leadership.

• “Passion with Purpose,” Carmsie Melodie shows her development as a virtual artist, with a discussion about the relevance of creativity.
