September 8, 6:30 - 8pm
on Zoom
Many of us spend time with our phones or computer screen-windows. What then happens in Virtual Reality when that window surrounds you? Our artists will discuss the creative potential of the imagination of your body in both the private and network spaces of VR headsets.
This series of free sessions hosted by Rochester Contemporary Art Center, explores immersive media like virtual reality, augments reality, and artificial intelligence through artists telling their stories of how they started with each technology. We aim to get past the jargon and talk about how artists were inspired to enter into and begin to make work in these new worlds. In conversation artists and attendees share perspectives and speculations on the futures of art in immersive media for advancing culture and creativity.
