As director of Tate Britain one of my key aims is to make art more accessible to people all over the country.

That's why I'm urging you to log on to Tate Online to view two new online video installations concerning the works of Antony Gormley and Rachel Whiteread, two of Britain's most inspiring artists, at www.tate.org.uk.

This virtual exhibition at Tate Online is part of an Art for All' programme, developed by Tate and BT, our online partner, which uses technological innovation via the internet to make the work of modern living artists more accessible.

In this way we can also bring art to life for those who may not be able to visit the gallery in person.

Antony Gormley is the creator of several works which have made an impact on the landscape including his famous, Angel of the North statue in Gateshead, Another Place on Crosby Beach in Liverpool and Sound II in Winchester Cathedral.

Now anyone interested in exploring Gormley's creations will not need to travel the country to do so.

Instead, through a virtual tour, they can discover his work in their own time and experience his award-winning pieces almost as if they were in front of them.

Rachel Whiteread has also created some highly prolific pieces of art displayed in both Vienna (The Holocaust Memorial) and Tate Modern in London (Airbed II, Untitled (nine tables), and Embankment).

To date her work has only been accessible to people who are able to visit those places in person.

Now all four of these works are featured on Tate Online in a succession of online, interactive displays and are available to anyone with access to the internet.

The new online exhibition is part of the BT Series, a unique collaboration between BT and Tate, which offers audio commentary from the artists themselves describing the concepts behind the pieces and the emotions that inspired them.

Art should be for everybody, and I'm sure many of your readers feel the same way as I do.

I'd urge them to log on to www.tate.org.uk/btseries and take a look for themselves.
