Programme details

AIM

To integrate VR into a collaborative art event across international locations, London - UK, Penang - Malaysia. The event aims to links artists to vendors and also link visitors across different time zones to show how east influences west and vice a versa. To demonstrate this bi-directional artistic influence, this workshop will enable a Multi-user Art Experience. The proposal is to use Masterpiece TiltBrush, facilitating VR Artists to collaborate on a live art work, with each artist either taking turns to create or working together simultaneously or a combination of both. Each artist could build on the work of the other before briefly swapping over each 10 mins, creating an unpredictable direction with each change and something that neither artist would have conceptualised on their own.
