"Virtual reality is a technology that could actually allow you to connect on a real human level, soul-to-soul, regardless of where you are in the world" Chris Milk, immersive artist.
Virtual reality (VR) is used as an umbrella term to mean ‘immersive experiences’, experienced in specialist headsets. Virtual Reality is emerging as potent and promising new playmates for creative practitioners willing to embrace a new medium.
The exhibition and distribution models are not quite there yet, and reaching wide audiences can be tricky, but it is a great time to experiment. Students and member of staff from the MA ACE (CSM) and the Digital Makers Collective (Chelsea) decided to take the risk and organise the first UAL symposium in VR.
