Tate in Space is a collaboration between Susan Collins and the Tate Gallery. They are web pages that are the place of a genuine art gallery orbiting the earth, in the place of the Tate satellite. It has the added benefit of art historians, space historians, and scientists to improve the quality and truthfulness. It was nominated for the 2003 BAFTA interactive awards in the interactive category.
Personally, I find this idea very interesting. The web has become so much more than just a useful resource, it is a massive part of everyone's lives and allows creativity in more accessible. Therefore it was inevitable that a new generation of artists and art would evolve without the confines of a gallery and with the means of expressing themselves and putting their work out there. Digital media became popular before the use of the internet, yet YouTube and other popular media sites mean that anyone and everyone can view or produce work that has meaning to them.
