Marina Abramovic’s piece, Rising, is a mind blowing-ly daft example of how to take a worldwide crisis like global warming and make it entirely about yourself. Ranging from decent to completely inane, Acute Art’s content hardly makes the case for virtual reality as an effective medium. The previews, however, say more than enough about the work. Given that no one in the Artspace office has an HTC set, and doesn't run on Windows (oh yeah, Acute Art only runs on Windows), we sadly did not have access to any of the actual content, despite the fact that we paid the membership fee.

Not only is it not the first, for a platform that purports that its users will be able to experience its content “all around the world,” the fact that the app is only available on the HTC Vive headset reads less as a platform of accessibility, and much more as a bizarre marketing ploy to get you to buy an underselling piece of technology by using more underselling technology (especially when compared to other virtual reality platforms such as the New York Times VR app, or the New Museum's First Look, both of which are available to download as free apps on any smartphone).Īt a $10 per month (or $30 per year) membership fee, users are given access to virtual reality experiences by some of art’s most prominent figures, along with a few works by up-and-coming digital artists such as Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen. The platform includes VR works by other art-world giants such as Jeff Koons and Olafur Elíasson, and claims to be the “world’s first virtual reality arts platform… a museum without walls that lets you experience the cutting edge of interactive art anywhere in the world.” While that sounds great, it’s almost entirely false. It’s the first time either artist has explored the medium, begging lots of speculation, excitement, and of course, a tremendous amount of hype, symptomatic of any foray into VR (remember all the buzz when the New York Times debuted their virtual reality division?).īoth works are part of a suite of virtual reality experiences developed in collaboration with a London-based platform called Acute Art. Later this month, fair goers attending Art Basel Hong Kong will get the opportunity to experience the debut of two new virtual reality works by famed performance artist Marina Abramovic and sculptural icon Anish Kapoor.
