New World Tableau: Faerie Presents Dunan in "Starry Night"

Starry_night_by_faerie_hax

Faerie Hax gets around-- winging over wastelands, on some occasions, swimming with mermaids, on others, and here, taking this photo of Dunan Wilder at the "Virtual Starry Night" exhibition.  "While it is a great place to learn about the life and works of Vincent van Gogh," Faerie writes me, "what sets it apart from real life art galleries are the parts where they have recreated some of his more famous paintings in 3D.   You can walk into, around and through the painting.  A great use of SL I think."  See for yourself-- direct SLURL teleport to the exhibition at this link.

Want to send me a Tableau of your own?  Submission guidelines after the break. For inspiration, see the full New World Tableau series here

Submitting to New World Tableau:

New World Tableau is an ongoing album featuring Residents who've turned SL screenshots into a new art form, vividly conveying emotions, stories, and entire cultures in a single image.

- If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail (hamlet@secondlife.com) me the link.   Please e-mail me the image as a file link, or attached as an .jpeg or .gif, as long as it's under a meg in size
- Submitting as an in-world texture not recommended, as they often come out distorted and not high res.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.) 
- Moderately Photoshopped images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were added.  (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
- If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC licensed.  The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any case.

Hi Wagner!
Nice article about our sim :-) Glad you like the exhibition. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Btw, we launched an online community about the life and work of Vincent van Gogh. This new project is not related to our SL exhibition though. You can rate your favorite paintings, join the forum and see the location of Vincent's work around the world.. Feel free to visit and share your opinion of the community in our forum or via the contact form.

Kind regards,
