- Title
Beyond Representation in Virtual Reality: The Abstract Art of Jane LaFarge Hamill and Kevin Mack.
- Authors
Kent, Charlotte
- Abstract
Although virtual reality (VR) is largely associated with a dependency on realist imagery award-winning visual effects professional Kevin Mack and oil painter Jane LaFarge Hamill use VR to produce abstract works. Abstract art and early abstract film reveal the importance of such experimentation to each medium's latent potential and how early oddities, in due course, enter the mainstream. The author examines Mack and Hamill's respective works to propose that experimenting with abstraction in virtual reality is crucial to its unfolding as a creative medium.
