Here is a virtual reality painting that explores calligraphic forms, utilizing emerging virtual reality and 3D sketching technologies.
In the virtual reality environment, long flowing strokes expand into three-dimensional forms as the viewer moves, then collapse into flat, two-dimensional shapes as the viewer’s perspective shifts. This dynamic interplay between dimensions is achieved by manipulating the light rendering engine within the simulated space. By rendering light as simultaneously absorbed, reflected, and pass through the surfaces, a sense of depth and dimension is both created and disrupted, creating fluid dimensional shifts.
All image captures, screenshots, and video recordings taken with a single camera lens and displayed on a 2D screens flatten all forms to two-dimensional representation. To perceive the shifts in depth and the transitions between dimensions, two lenses—one for each eye, as in VR glasses—are necessary.
Here was developed during Future Memory Lab Residency at The Migliorisi Foundation in Asunción, Paraguay, in collaboration with Pyxis in Lausanne, Switzerland, and was supported by ProHelvetia.
