VRVIENNA GOES ART — Meetup & Workshop!
Details
ART IS ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONAL ASPECTS OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
Art materializes dreams, reawakens thoughts that we have taken for granted, and challenges us to defy our very own concept of existence. With the popularization of VR as a new medium to capture reality, HOW CAN ARTISTS USE IT TO BRING THEIR VISION TO LIFE?
In this month’s edition of VRVienna, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NOT ONE, BUT TWO MEETUPS!
First, WE'RE GOING TO HOST OUR VERY FIRST WORKSHOP* at House of Bandits, in which artists will have the chance to have a hands-on VR experience, and together try to answer the question: What is the role and influence of technology in art?
Then, a few days later, WE'RE GOING TO GATHER UP AT VREI VR-CAFÉ in our usual manner and meet some artists who chose to explore the potential of VR as an immersive tool of expression. We’re going to hear out their creative processes, along with the new challenges they face with the use of this medium and how they’re finding ways to use these obstacles in their favor. Also, WE WILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF TRYING OUT GOOGLE'S TILT BRUSH for ourselves! Oh, what a fun month!
