More Experimenting...

I have used the last two weeks to try and explore the useable boundaries of VR as an exhibition medium...

Idea for an exhibition of one picture

Does a galley have to be square?

Original ideas in sketchbook

The process of playing with many ideas in a short time has helped me to loosen up (my ideas) and work very quickly, as if using a sketchbook. Some things have worked well and others not so well. I think I am coming to a conclusion of sorts, about what new things VR brings to the exhibition of artworks.

Experimenting Experimenting Experimenting

I have been experimenting and designing alternative/specific exhibition spaces for VR. I have deliberately kept away from traditional looking gallery spaces (I have mentioned this in previous blogs) and produced a number of designs to try and find the 'thing' that works best in VR, as an exhibition medium/experience in its own right.

The first two videos are a gallery I produced for photographic artist, Libby Nightingale's Invisible Mother project. The gallery is based on the layout of a house.

The next space is about trying to extend the idea of a non-claustrophobic exhibition space that includes an element of exploration. The works in these two galleries are by my final year degree photography students.

The last space plays with scale and the phrase; over, under, through.

Edit (23/04): I thought it would be interesting to include the original sketches/ideas for the galleries...

Video!

I am embarrassed to say, that I have only just sorted out how to video my VR environments. Here is a video of the gallery I created for our 2nd year degree Photography students. Let me know what you think.

More to follow.
