In this course we will get inspired and challenged by different artists and artworks that embrace “the virtual” as a concept, aesthetic or technique. We will start by using simple approaches to help amplify and channel our ideas and concepts through media and technology and further use Unity 3D to create our very own virtual worlds, objects or avatars which will include integrating Virtual Reality devices like the Oculus Rift. This course involves working with but is not bound to the use of the Performance Platform at the Digital Bauhaus Lab. | In this course we will get inspired and challenged by different artists and artworks that embrace “the virtual” as a concept, aesthetic or technique.
