VR as an archiving and Simulation Tool for Media Artworks

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Due to technological obsolescence, many media artwork installations are in danger of being lost or becoming problematic to replicate. This is particularly prevalent in the use of CRT monitors for video sculptures. Although these monitors are still currently available, they are no longer manufactured and over time will gradually disappear. In what ways can VR technology be used to replicate such works, allowing them to be experience in the future? Examples from UK artist David Hall, one of video art's pioneers, will be explored.
