Immersive Art II

Immersive Art II
	The primary task of the art historically oriented project is the examination and systematisation of different forms of using VR and the reveal of methods and artistic strategies that are used to force the recipient into the image. The second focus is the analysis of the contemporary, computer based development and phenomenology of VR: How do elements like interaction, interface design, immaterilisation, agent and evolutionary image processes transform the system of art with its traditional triad of artist, work of art and recipient?
