The ICA in London held several events. e.g.: http://www.metamute.org/editorial/articles/vr-worlds-online-1.0 Ah, VRML. Not so much the HTML of the virtual web, more its <BLINK> tag. There were shows, competitions, sites, lists and meetups all devoted to it. It destroyed every company that tried to implement it. Some artists have only just stopped using it. I miss it. So much work made in it has failed to be captured by the Internet Archive. Maybe it's due an animated GIF-style revival? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrml But there's no Internet Archive for the walled garden of Second Life. Fortunately blogs and YouTube became popular around the same time as it did, so there is more documentation of Second Life art, if no more opportunity to experience lost pieces firsthand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_in_Second_Life http://secondlife.com/destinations/arts http://secondlife.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_museums_and_galleries_in_Second_Life If the history of art online is in part a history of the media used to make and discuss art, VR has a minor but important part to play in that.
