Intro to VR for Visual Arts

New technologies are starting to have an impact on visual arts, but getting started can feel expensive, technical and out of reach.

This hands-on introduction removes the barriers.

In just 90 minutes, you’ll:

• Explore professional VR equipment
• See how VR can enhance and expand your artistic practice.
• Try it for yourself in a support, no-pressure environment
• Learn how to access the kit after the session included within a Barbican membership
• Opportunity to try out co-working for free afterwards for those who haven’t.
• No jargon. No prior experience. Just a practical first step into how it could expand or support your existing practice.

Come curious and leave a little more confident.

Free workshop (limited capacity). Booking essential.
