/p>

p>The Tate Gallery is going to showcase some of its most famous works in 3D form, within the virtual world of the computer game Minecraft. But is this a good way to appreciate art?

/p>

p>Have you ever thought about stepping into the painting and taking a little bit of an exploration inside it?

/p>

p>The Tate invites you to climb over its works of art and have fun taking a look.

/p>

p>There are no security guards keeping watch.

/p>

p>The first painting to undergo this digital, 3D transformation was Andre Derain’s 1906 painting The Pool of London and Christopher Nevinson's painting of New York City, Soul of the Soulless City (1920). https://nicisoft.com/ </p>

p>"Visitors will see a white cube which represents the Tate Gallery," explains Jane Burton, Creative Director of Tate Media.

/p>

p>"You enter the door with the painting in your palm.

/p>

p>"What you can now do is take a walk towards the painting and literally plunge into it. That's where the adventure starts."

p>Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with the painting's world.

/p>

p>To get a view of Nevinson's cityscape from the train, you can take it. Stop for sandwiches as you wait for construction workers to finish the tall buildings.

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

/p>

p>"You will be able to explore the activities and challenges that relate to the themes of art.

p>Jane Burton, whose children introduced her to the power and potential of Minecraft she 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 suggested the idea for Tate's IK Prize. This prize is given to an idea that uses digital technology to engage people with the arts.

/p>

p>Tate employed the skills of other famous Minecraft builders, like Featherblade, Featherblade, Dragnoz and Featherblade to create the worlds inspired from the famous photographs.

/p>

p>However, not everyone is convinced.

/p>

p>Perspective

/p>

p>These Minecraft creations will give younger audiences a better understanding of art so that they can see original works in galleries. Rachel Campbell-Johnston, Times art critic, says it will feel like "seeing an old buddy".

/p>

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

/p>

p>She continues, "But ironically the Minecraft games themselves offer a flatter experience."

/p>

p>"It is more of an entertainment experience rather than an imaginative relationship with the painting, when the 3D mapping of Minecraft replaces the real painting's illusionistic surfaces, doing the work for you."

/p>

p>Digital opening

/p>

p>The two pieces by Derain and Nevinson will be available to download on Monday.
