Travelling Landscapes

Travelling Landscapes showcases eight ground-breaking creative experiments developed with established Australian artists Tarik Ahlip, Cigdem Aydemir, Kylie Banyard, Nic Cassey, John Gillies, Grace Kingston, Jason Phu, and Louise Zhang, through Tactical Space Lab’s ongoing collaboration Virtual Reality artists studios. During two-week intensive studio labs, each artist was introduced to a range of VR and immersive technologies, and the tools to explore them through a process of collaborative development.  The lab focused on developing new tools, new thinking, and new ways of using VR, by providing a context for creative experimentation through play, improvisation, and hacking.   

These artists have created experiences that transport us to new digital spaces, not just exploring the limits of the technology, but developing models for collaboration and experimentation, as each artist brings their deiverse perspective and expertise to the project. The works in this collection explore the possibilities and limitations of virtual reality as a medium for artistic expression, creating new and unique experiences that would not be possible in any other medium. 

We invite you to step inside these beautiful and unique experiments , explore the corners and vistas of these travelling landscapes, and be inspired to think about the possible virtual worlds and digital storytelling that might follow.  

The project is supported by the Australian Council for the Arts International Engagement Fund.
