On January 30, Barbara London will moderate an expansive conversation on how artists have appropriated the medium of virtual reality to create immersive artworks. The panel discussion, Real 2.0: Artists Discuss Immersive Art in the Virtual Landscape, takes place at the Pratt Manhattan Campus in conjunction with the gallery’s current exhibition, Hsin-Chien Huang: The Data We Called Home.

Panelists Mattia Casalegno, Hsin-Chien Huang (via Zoom), and Rachel Rossin will interrogate the medium of VR, addressing questions such as: Can art be virtual? Does the virtual contradict the real? And what is the future of the medium?

The Data We Called Home, curated by Pratt Professor Linda Lauro-Lazin, is Hsin-Chien Huang’s first solo virtual reality exhibit in the US. Through video, sculpture, and VR, Huang remaps Taiwanese folklore, the ethics of digital surveillance, space exploration, and the body-mind dichotomy. The exhibition also features two collaborative VR works made with artist and musician Laurie Anderson.
