Description: The latest virtual-reality technologies are asserting themselves currently in the domain of the fine arts and facilitating an immersion in artificial worlds. Virtual reality is used not only to explore aes-thetic potential, but also as a critical medium for reflecting on the existential state of today's life-world. The works presented in this publication deal with multifaceted themes, such as physical per-ception and physical laws, societal structures as well as architecture and poetry.0The essays present the works from different research perspectives, thus enabling a broad overview of current trends in a media art based on virtual reality technologies.
Notes: On the occasion of an exhibition held at HeK, Haus der elektronischen Künste, Basel, January 19 - March 5, 2017.
