Surrealist artists benefit most from it.
Just as multimedia heralds the mixing of different media on a computer screen, virtual reality art proclaims an integration of hitherto disparate art forms like paintings, music and moving pictures. Since virtual reality permits scenarios that violate physical laws, its art will let users experience fantasies that have been the stuff of science fiction to date. Being a nascent technology, virtual reality art is still under the control of technologists rather than artists - a situation that will change as the technology matures. In the non-virtual reality world, scientific data visualization has already established a niche as an art form in its own right, and virtual reality promises to take it further. Virtual art is at once a technology, a medium and a concept.
