“I’ll take you inside a variety of virtual reality artworks – including my own piece HYBER – and offer a tour of various virtual reality installations, some of which may be accessed on a normal browser.”
Part two: your own art in virtual realities: an introduction to Tilt Brush to
Here is Karen Eng’s own introduction:
“Taking Colleen Flanigan’s depiction of coral reefs as a creative jumping off point, I’ll show you how to create art in 3D VR sculpting tool Tilt Brush. We’ll have a prerecorded video or live feed from Colleen to introduce us to the anatomy of a reef environment, and tell us how building one in virtual reality helped her engage more deeply with it. Then we can try to create something new together”
Create your own VR work of art
“I’ll then demonstrate the various controls and then bring you into the Virtual Reality space to try it out.
By the end of the session, we’ll have created our own work. I will film and load it to a video platform.”
