smARThistory visits the Sistine Chapel in Second Life
August 6th, 2008
Max Newbold and Sez Zabelin, Second Life correspondents for smARThistory, visited the Sistine Chapel there, and created this video about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel ceiling. They discuss Michelangelo, the commission from Pope Julius II, and the structure and meaning of the ceiling.
Thanks to Steve Taylor (aka Stan Frangible) and Vassar College.
Part 2 on Michelangelo’s Last Judgment on the altar wall coming soon…

Fabulous piece on the Sistine chapel. Excellent use of what Second Life can authentically provide, in large part because you have connected this to a historical and and architectural context. I also like the dialog style. Very compelling.

Thanks Keith — that means a lot — let’s find some time in Second Life together one day soon to talk about teaching…
