Tina Sauerlaender speaks at Linoleum Festival about VR & Arts

September 3, 2020, 3 pm CET

For some years Virtual Reality has been making its way into artistic practice. Artists from all fields, including painting, sculpture and performance art, discover the medium for their work. The virtual space allows artists to work surrounded by a blank space where physical laws do not apply. In her talk, Berlin-based curator Tina Sauerlaender introduces the history of immersion, the development of the medium of virtual reality and its application in the field of visuals arts. She will speak about her experience as an international VR art curator, introduce her projects and Radiance VR, an international platform for artistic VR experiences that she co-founded.

Talk funded by the Goethe Institut in Kyiv.
