Our panel presentation exhibits
artwork
developed in CAVEs and discusses how art
methodologies
enhance the science of VR
through collaboration, interaction and
aesthetics.
Artists and scientists work alongside one
another
to expand scientific research and artistic
expression
and are motivated by exhibiting
collaborative virtual
environments. Looking
towards the arts, such as painting and
sculpture,
computer graphics captures a visual
tradition.
Virtual reality expands this tradition to not
only
what we face, but to what surrounds us and even
what
responds to our body and its gestures. Art
making that once was
isolated to the static frame
and an optimal point of view is now
out and about,
in fully immersive mode within CAVEs.
Art
knowledge is a guide to how the aesthetics of 2D
and 3D
worlds affect, transform, and influence the
social, intellectual
and physical condition of the
human body through attention to
psychology,
spiritual thinking, education, and cognition.
The
psychological interacts with the physical in the
virtual
in such a way that each facilitates,
enhances and extends the
other, culminating
in a "go together" world. Attention to sharing
art
experience across high-speed networks
introduces a
dimension of liveliness and aliveness
when we "become virtual" in
real time with
others.
