A downloadable virtual gallery shell can now be bought from SYNAPTIC
CONNECTIONS enabling a bulletin board to function as a repository for
entire exhibitions of paintings - in 2 or three rooms - to be
downloaded and installed on a visitor's machine. In a Gallery Floor
Editor a user may plan a floor of spaces, with
corridors, doorways etc and drag & drop exhibitions
into the arrangement of their choice. Visiting the
exhibition preserves the look and feel of an actual
gallery, but the system can be adapted to museums or
libraries. It is designed to preserve the actual event, by using
photographs of the walls of an actual exhibition to
create the walls of the virtual event (but fictional events can be
created in graphics programmes). Enlargements of the images on the wall
by point and right-click, with the possibility of linking the image
with its own seperate textfile. Catalogue and CV of artist accompany
each exhibition. It is also designed to accept internet links, so that
the high quality image available behind the thumbnail on the
wall can open up a Web Browser and pull down the high
quality image from a remote site. You could create a
gallery of exhibition painters from museums around the
world and use your gallery simply as a graphics
interface to all the remote computers. CURATOR has a
hold of other features as well. It has a full archiving
system, Electronic publishing facilities, enabling the
creation of standalone portfolios of images and text
(read like a book, and substitute for a catalogue),
standalone 3D catalogues, preserving images of the
actual event to add to a virtual collection,
Information office with What's On notice board and
Portfolio of the Artists, A lift to all the floors,
Workshops for the creation of new exhibitions and
portfolios etc..etc..
