/p>

p>The Tate Gallery is going to exhibit some of its most famous artworks in 3D form, inside the virtual world of the computer game Minecraft. Is this a good method to appreciate art?

/p>

p>Have you ever thought about taking a step into the painting and performing some exploring?

/p>

p>The Tate is inviting visitors to take a stroll around its art and browse.

/p>

p>There are no security guards on watch.

/p>

p>It has collaborated with the developers of Minecraft the online computer game in which millions of players meticulously create fantasy worlds, block by block - to create 3D versions of two of its artworks, in a new virtual gallery.

/p>

p>The first painting to undergo this digital, 3D transformation was Andre Derain's painting of 1906 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, explains that visitors will see a white cube which is the Tate Gallery.

/p>

p>"You walk in with the painting in your hands.

/p>

p>"What you can do is take a walk towards the painting and literally dive into it. This is where your adventure begins."

/p>

p>Enter the art

/p>

p>Visitors are able to interact with the world of the painting.

/p>

p>You will be able to take a train ride and get an overview of the cityscape of Nevinson, for example. Take a break for lunch as you wait for builders to finish building tall buildings.

/p>

p>Visitors must be wary of pirates in the Thames when visiting Derain's work and may play around with mixing explosive paint pigments.

/p>

p>"You take on challenges and activities which are connected to the themes of the artwork.

/p>

p>Jane Burton, whose children introduced her to the potential and power of Minecraft she says, "It's art history adventure,"

/p>

p>Adam Clarke, a well-known Minecraft creator, first suggested that Minecraft exhibits be created.

/p>

p>He proposed the idea for Tate's IK Prize, which is awarded to an idea that makes use of digital technology to connect people with the arts.

/p>

p>When the concept finally was realized, Tate enlisted the skills of other celebrity Minecraft builders such as Dragnoz, Kupo, Featherblade and Tewkesape to create the worlds inspired by the famous images.

/p>

p>But not everyone is convinced.

/p>

p>Perspective

/p>

p>These Minecraft creations will help younger and newer audiences familiarity with artworks, so that when they view the originals in a gallery, it will be like "seeing an old friend" according to Times art critic Rachel Campbell-Johnston.

/p>

p>The feeling of being recognized, "like seeing celebrities" is a powerful instrument to inspire art appreciation and encourage audiences.

/p>

p>"But paradoxically, the Minecraft works themselves offer an experience that is more pleasant," she continues.

/p>

p>"It feels more like entertainment than a creative connection to the painting, when 3D mapping in Minecraft replaces the illusionistic surface of real painting and does the work for me."

/p>

p>Digital opening

/p>

p>You can download the two works of Derain and Nevinson starting Monday

/p>

p>Players must pay to join the Minecraft community, however the maps that are available for download of Tate's pictures are free. https://bagauc.com/ </p>

p>Six more 3D masterpieces are planned for the future. Many will be watching closely to see how many people queue for Tate's Minecraft exhibition on Monday.
