Hey friends, great news! We now have an art exhibit consisting of your minimalism shots of roads and it's a thing of BEAUTY!!!! These road sections look so beautiful once they're framed and hung on the wall!
Where is The Art Exhibit?
Why in cyberspace of course...... but it still looks so real and soooo good!
Check Out How Great it Looks And Learn Who Won The 10 SBD Prize!
In my previous post on this subject "The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art. Let's Create Another Gallery!" I presented sections of roads as art and asked you to send me the exemplars that you had seen! Your response led to our beautiful exhibit at ArtSteps.com!
Here we go, our first wall of your contributions. The one in the center was sent by @dexpartacus and on either side of it we can see those contributed by @livelifefullest!
These are all from @voronoi except the one with the brown stones which was taken by The Old Dog himself!
The two on the left are by @voronoi. Wow, so beautiful. To their right is a submission by one of Steemit's distinguished artists @silviabeneforti!
So With All of Those Beautiful Entries Who's The Winner?
Well I have to admit that the submissions by @dexpartacus and @silviabeneforti had me deliberating long and hard but there was one that captured me with the texture and perspective and therefore the grand winner is:
This submission by @voronoi dazzled both my eyes and my imagination and he is the 10 SBD winner. In fact he was so taken by the roads in Lisbon that he submitted a whole article about it. Check it out here!
Would You Like to Have a Walk Around Inside The Gallery?
Come on....let's go. I'll give you the guided tour!
What Do You Think?
- Are you surprised at how great the gallery looks?
- Would you like to see more Steemit virtual galleries in the future?
- What other mundane object would you like to see us explore as art? Please let me know
I hope that you enjoyed this article about "The Mundane as Art. Your Photographs of Streets!"
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
nice idea Old Dog! But I would contribute to pay the full version! and then I'll try to make some virtual galleries (with Art At Steemfest, after received a permission by the authors; but also my own art or art uploaded to my site Steemarket.com)...
Let me know if it's ok for you if we share the license :)

Im going to check on the details. I need it for my Mundane as Art Series of which I have two now and for my Steemcards. If you could use it to promote your art and for some of the communities art that would be great.

I love this gallery idea, though would love to see a more up close view of the pieces to really appreciate the detail. The Collaborative Art Journey and other initiatives could benefit from a program like this. It'll be fun to see what galleries are formed.
Thanks for sharing Old Dog!!!

You've inspired me... let me know when potholes become art (we've got a treasure trove). I'm going Sunday to take a few pics of a mural someone did on a building downtown. I tried during the week but the cars block the view- I'd like to get a photo of the whole thing for the full effect!

There is artistic beauty in the art of the streets. It depicts our culture and attitude today. so too can be the art of buildings. It would be neat to compare the street art today compared to a century or two or 5 centuries ago. How they are different and what similarities do they share?

OMG You make me want to go back into Second Life and run another Art Gallery again!
Was very fun!
Then I moved on to helping people exhibit and sell their 3D products for avatars in a virtual mall. Super Addictive and rewarding !
You should be pleased with yourself! Somehow I missed your previous posts on the virtual art gallery. And I cannot tell you why but the instant I saw the thumbnail of your photo of the gallery, I thought, "VR!" Then I tried to second-guess myself away from VR. But, no. I was right. And Surprised! It is a very well created space!
Are you addicted yet?
Something mundane? Small rocks, pebbles.
You should do a great many virtual galleries. Have you seen what voxelus.com is up to? I'm afraid they are far and away beyond their time but who knows. Maybe not. I've invested a small small amount but I don't have the $$ for the hardware ... lol such is life!
PS: I've figured out the VR clue I picked up on. Yell if you want to know.
