p>The Tate Gallery will exhibit some of its most well-known works in 3D in the virtual world of Minecraft. What is the best way for art to be appreciated?
/p>
p>Have you ever thought about entering a painting, and then taking a bit of an exploration inside it?
/p>
p>The Tate invites you to walk over its artworks and have fun exploring. https://posterkingdom.com/ </p>
p>There will be no security guards on watch.
/p>
p>It has teamed up with the makers of Minecraft - the online computer game in which millions of players meticulously build fantasy worlds, block by block - to create 3D versions of two of its artworks, in a new virtual gallery.
/p>
p>The first to receive this digital, 3D transformation was Andre Derain's 1906 painting The Pool of London and Christopher Nevinson’s depiction of New York City, Soul of the Soulless City (1920).
/p>
p>Jane Burton, Tate Media's Creative Director Jane Burton, Tate Media's Creative Director, explains that visitors will see a white cube which is the Tate Gallery.
/p>
p>"You enter the door with the painting in your palm.
/p>
p>"What you can now do is walk up to the painting and then plunge into it. This is where your adventure starts."
/p>
p>Enter the art
/p>
p>Visitors will have the chance to engage with the painting's world.
/p>
p>To see Nevinson's cityscape from the train, ride it. Or stop for sandwiches with builders as they take a break from building skyscrapers.
/p>
p>Visitors should be cautious of pirates on the Thames when visiting Derain's photo. They can also experiment with explosive paint pigments.
/p>
p>"You explore activities and challenges which are connected to the themes of the artwork.
/p>
p>Jane Burton, whose children introduced her to the power and potential of Minecraft Jane Burton, who is the creator of Minecraft, says, "It's art history adventure,"
/p>
p>Adam Clarke, a well-known Minecraft creator, originally suggested that Minecraft exhibits be made.
/p>
p>He put the idea forward for Tate's IK Prize, which is given to an idea that utilizes digital technology to inspire people with the arts.
/p>
p>Tate employed the talents of other famous Minecraft builders, like Featherblade, Featherblade, Dragnoz and Featherblade, to create worlds based from the famous photos.
/p>
p>However there are those who aren't convinced.
/p>
p>Perspective
/p>
p>These Minecraft creations will provide younger, new audiences familiarity with artworks, and when they see the originals in a gallery it will be similar to "seeing an old friend" according to Times art critic Rachel Campbell Johnston.
/p>
p>That feeling of recognition, "like seeing a celebrity" is a powerful tool to enhance appreciation for art and to inspire audiences.
/p>
p>She continues, "But ironically the Minecraft works themselves provide a more pleasant experience."
/p>
p>"It feels more like entertainment than an imaginative relationship to the painting, as 3D mapping in Minecraft replaces the illusionistic surface of real painting by doing the work for me."
/p>
p>Digital opening
/p>
p>You can download the two works of Derain and Nevinson beginning Monday
/p>
p>Players must pay to join the Minecraft community, however the maps available for download of Tate's pictures are free.
/p>
p>With six more 3D masterpieces in the pipeline, many will be watching with interest to see how long the queues are on Monday when Tate's Minecraft exhibition opens its digital doors.
