University of Nevada, Reno Art Professor Joseph Delappe displays statue he made of his w88 sports betting app avatar

As students enter into the E.L. Cord Foundation Atrium of the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center at the University of Nevada Reno, they will be greeted by Mahatma w88 sports betting app.

Or rather, they will be greeted by a 17-foot w88 sports betting app statue of College of Liberal Arts Professor Joseph DeLappe's avatar MGandhi Chakrabarti from the online world of Second-Life. The statue, designed to be the same height as Michelangelo's David, was the next step in a project reenacting w88 sports betting app's 1930s Salt March. DeLappe wired a manual treadmill to his computer and physically walked his avatar the complete 26-day, 240-mile walk.

"It seemed meaningful to bring w88 sports betting app out of that space and into real life," the art professor said.

To translate the avatar into w88 sports betting app pieces, he used a program called Pepakura Designer, which created templates that were then laboriously hand-cut, scored and assembled to create the monumental statue. The program is one of the five 3-dimensional programs recently installed at the DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library and the @One Multimedia Center in the Knowledge Center to use with the DeLaMare Library's new 3D printer. DeLaMare is the first academic library in the United States to make the leap to offer 3D printing and scanning as a library service to all students.

"Students have the capability to do this same thing with the software and hardware available," said Maggie Ressel, director of information services w88 sports betting app Center.

Angela Bakker, a communications and marketing specialist at the Knowledge Center, worked alongside DeLappe, commenting "In theory, we could make a miniature w88 sports betting app statue this afternoon."

And to put action to her word, they printed a 12.62-inch plastic version of the w88 sports betting app in the DeLaMare Library overnight. The miniature w88 sports betting app is also available for viewing.

Having the large w88 sports betting app statue on display at the Knowledge Center was the idea of Lisa Kurt, a librarian at the University, who took one of DeLappe's digital media classes. Kurt is encouraging DeLappe to bring in and show more student work as well.

"The library is such a great place for departments to communicate and interact," she said. "It's for everyone."

The atrium is this w88 sports betting app's second stop; the first was in New York, and DeLappe hopes the next will be in India. The Knowledge Center w88 sports betting app is also the first of three he has built using the same process. It took two days and a scissor-lift to build at the University. Bakker and DeLappe also worked with the building team on a time-lapse video of erecting the w88 sports betting app.

The w88 sports betting app was initially built at Eyebeam Art and Technology, a unique international residency program in New York, where DeLappe was a commissioned resident artist and did the virtual Salt March. The project took six weeks to build and engineer.

"The biggest challenge was the vertical build with the skinny legs," he said. "It was made from about 0 worth of materials, all recycled w88 sports betting app."

A second w88 sports betting app was commissioned to be built and shown in China for the Third Guangzhou Triennial: Farewell Post-Colonialism exhibition at the Guangzhou Museum of Art and is now part w88 sports betting app museum's permanent collection.

The third w88 sports betting app was built at the MUKA Gallery in Mechelen, Belgium and rebuilt in Belfast, Ireland. After being transported and reassembled in Belfast, the statue was taken apart for recycling. To DeLappe's joy, one of the student volunteers who helped install the piece in Ireland made sure that some of the w88 sports betting app was used for compost for local "guerrilla gardening" or "graffiti with plants" as DeLappe described.

"The statue really captures his personality from the game," he said, describing the shape of the avatar, as well as the manual labor needed to build it. "It was as physical as the walk itself, and w88 sports betting app felt you should use your body; that physical labor is necessary."

More of DeLappe's work and work from graduate students will be on display at and around the University at DeLappe's third iteration of Prospectives International Festival of Digital Art in October. DeLappe's w88 sports betting app Gandhi can be viewed during regular Knowledge Center hours: Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. - midnight; Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. - midnight.
