Hopper also creates new media art, and “most” of her art is intertwined with beaches.
Here are three experiments in creating “virtual galleries” to showcase her art.
This 360° image is a Toy World. It is a diorama created with dollhouse furniture and miniature toys that are photographed with a RICOH THETA S 360° Camera. The resulting 360° image is posted on the Kuula 360° photo sharing service in order to add links to content on the Web.
Touch the image to explore it, objects to learn about them and door knobs to visit other Toy worlds.
If you can’t see it, you can also explore it on Kuula.

Cosma is an inventory of the best knowledge resources in the world, and it has a variety of ways to navigate them. It has a number of 3D interfaces called Worlds that are designed to enable truly spatial Knowledge Navigation and invite exploration of the Knowledge Resources inventory hosted on the Cosma Web site.
Here is the first in a series of Toy Worlds that serve as an interface to Cosma. There are many other Toy Worlds distributed across the site. You can read about them and their fun backstory on this post.
Touch the image to explore it, objects to find out about them and door knobs to visit other Toy worlds.

Cosma also features Web Worlds. They are made by creating spaces in the virtual world SecondLife, capturing 360° photos of those spaces and uploading them to the 360° image sharing service Kuula to overlay links to Cosma pages and great 360° and 3D immersive experiences on the Web.
They are currently the main type of 3D interface that you will find on Cosma.
This is Cosma’s Welcome Area were you can start your journey into knowledge!
Touch posters and objects to find out about them or visit other worlds.
You can also explore it on Kuula.
If you click on the (not very well hidden) trap door, you will find yourself in this Web World that is an exhibit about Cosma’s history.
You can also explore it on Kuula.
There are many Web Worlds on the Cosma Web site, and this is a special one with links to the others. Click on objects to see sample experiences, and click doorways to go to other Web Worlds which also have objects and doorways that link to experiences on other sites.
If you can’t see it, you can also explore it on Kuula.
