Purpose/State of the art:
The idea of an electronic gallery & laboratory for virtual art reflects today’s status under which the artists create and present their artworks. There is a kind of misunderstanding between the common way of art presentation in galleries and museums and the very emerging artistic forms, directly on electronic media (e.g. net art or virtual sculpture…).

Though the galleries and museums are getting on-line these days, still they treat the artists and artworks in an old-fashioned way. Even the progressive net-galleries are founded just on a simple point & click navigation which is hostile to both artists as well as the audience.

What is missing these days is an intuitive approach in the field of virtual environments and communities oriented into visual arts and artistic collaboration. A new type of gallery is needed, combining and/or transforming the advantages of virtual space of the Internet with the traditional aspects of artistic creation/presentation.
