Join us for an in-person artist talk and live VR (virtual reality) painting demonstration with local VR artist Rhett Hissam and LEVR Studios founder Mike Cuales. The demonstration features ambient audio from Raleigh musician Ancestral Memories.
How will immersive technologies and art converge? This event aims to highlight immersive technologies, the emerging media of VR, and its current applications. Hissam weaves together the overall theme of light, how it applies to new technology, and her personal inspiration during a multipart performance. Prior to the demonstration, Hissam and Cuales discuss the powers versus pitfalls of new media as it applies to authentic expression in a digital space.
