Everyone talks about VR nowadays, but aren’t sites like Facebook or Instagram already a Virtual Reality that gets fed daily with cutouts of our lives? Do we have to worry that soon the real world will be at second place?
“In today’s society, where drones are used for warfare and romantic relationships begin online can we any longer distinguish between the so-called real and the virtual?” (Cécile B. Evans)

Everyone talks about VR nowadays, but aren’t sites like Facebook and Instagram already their own form of virtual reality being fed on a daily basis by disembodied snippets of our lives? Do we have to worry that soon the real world will be in second place?  


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.
