“...the virtual galleries run smoothly across all platforms.” It was very difficult, and at times it must have like seemed an impossible task to reach the goal both of them had set, but in November 2018 together with an excellent team of developers and a brand new version of the software, in addition to having learned a great deal more about software development, they felt it was as perfect as any artist would expect it to be to mount their work with absolute pride. The virtual galleries run smoothly across all platforms on Desktop (Mac and PC) and mobile (Android and iOS).  We named the new VR gallery software ‘Exhibbit’ which is appropriate. The platform has made it easier for professional artists and curators to mount and promote ‘a true artgallery exhibition’ online and provided connection points for collectors to acquire the artwork directly from the artists or organisations or group by way of their own e-commerce pages or direct from the gallery exhibition itself. Peter and Amanda are now finally able to deliver the kind of experience they had imagined all those years ago, where viewers have a non passive, immersive and uninterrupted experience. People become actively involved because they are in an environment where they get to choose which way to move and what to look at. This kind of immersive experience, involving viewers in decision making, is the big difference that a VR gallery provides and is a precursor of the way online art- technology is sure to be headed as we move into the 21c. Since the 19th century exhibitions have been the primary way to showcase art, provenance is built on exhibition sales and now the virtual gallery can play a supportive role in this.   For the vision Peter and Amanda hold, this is only the beginning, there are plans to add audio and streaming video - for painters TUBES magazine this new addition to our existing VR magazine and exhibition catalogue publications is something that we believe will change the face of the contemporary art world and on a global basis. painters TUBES are delighted to welcome Amanda and Peter into our fabulously gifted artists fellowship and look forward to visiting them on their New Zealand island in the not to distant future.
