If tech leads to anxiety more often than serenity, the VR Live Mandala Experience may alter your state of mind. But you’ll need to dash to Allapattah Tuesday to partake.
Hands in the controls, VR headset strapped on, you’re ready to climb the Himalayas and enter the Temple of the Tilting Buddha.
FILMGATE INTERACTIVE
MEDIA FESTIVAL #09
Surprisingly
Country: Germany
Medium: 3D Paintings
Year: 2022
Creators: Manuel Rossner
The series SURPRISINGLY by Manuel Rossner comprises 100 unique hand-drawn 3D paintings each of which is available as an NFT. Rossner uses virtual reality glasses to create the shapes that refer to the classic format of portrait painting. The 3D models in this series have physical counterparts in the form of a sculpture and also exist in multiple variations, playing with different stages of aggregation. Together, they represent Rossner's research into the materiality of the digital. The physical paintings were part of recent exhibitions at Hamburger Kunsthalle and KÖNIG GALERIE/BERLIN.
