#VRHAM Virtual Reality & Arts Festival

VRHAM Virtual is an experimental digital festival curated in the Museum of Realities (MOR) app to showcase outstanding artistic VR work from all over the world. The museum itself contained several pieces of virtual art that could be explored and a virtual annex that housed the festival collection spread across several rooms. Using MOR I attended virtual talks given by the some of the VR artists, an interview with Johan Knattrup Jensen and Mads Damsbo who discussed their piece Martyr – A Bloody Dinner Performance and a workshop hosted in LavaMuseum built in Mozilla hubs to understand more about how VR art is created. The VRHAM youTube also featured some exciting work by emerging artists from the Institute of Experiemantal Architecture and a particularly striking piece, Counterfactual Methodology, explores the relationship between actual and reality within the topic of the human within virtual art.
