What is digital art?
Digital art is an art form that uses digital technologies as an essential part of its creation, presentation, or reception.
What does “immersive” mean?
“Immersive” literally means “to be absorbed into.” Immersive artworks pull you deeply into their world—visually, sonically or physically—dissolving the boundary between audience and artwork.
What is Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated, interactive environment experienced through a special headset. It allows you to immerse yourself in digital worlds and encounter art in a completely new way.
What should I know about using a VR headset?
Our guides will assist you with detailed usage instructions on site. Please let us know in advance if you experience motion sickness or have physical limitations. You can pause or stop the experience at any time.
