2nd Life Campus
The New Media Consortium (NMC) posts a video about their 2nd life “campus” during the 2006 conference:
>The 2006 NMC Summer Conference was held June 7-10, 2006, in Cleveland, Ohio. Hosts were Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I’ve thought this was an idea worth pursuing. It won’t replace meat-space but as an early participant in art crit and theory lists I have always found a community is a community is a community. As an online community builds and matures mash-ups, meet-ups, and face time happens eventually.
Looks good NMC.
