Into a New Reality
Brandi Dotey | Tasha Wise
The Virtual Institute of Simulation Art (VISA) is an online art center and gallery, currently displaying 4 WebVR collections: Crisis, Sanctuary, Oasis, and Unmapped. VISA allows viewers to travel to a “hyperreality” consisting of artist-designed simulated environments. The space was conceived by Leily Khatibi & Kiki Wu as a curatorial project. Our mission is to leverage digital art and collaboration through open-source, web-based, immersive media that is accessible to anyone with a computer and stable internet connection.
Our museum, Into a New Reality, is a gallery of overall magical themes. Being shaped similarely to an observatory, it my come off as intimidating dur to it being tucked deep into a dark forest. Once inside, you realize you are now in a place of tranquility and whimsy, a place where the darkness of the forest cannot reach. We wanted to create a space of fantasy and wonder, while keeping a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
