Artists Will Transform Your World With Virtual Reality - 1:20
Imagine a gallery where you can step into a painting, fly through the ceiling to the heavens above, or learn a dance from a virtual flamingo. It's not a world far off. Virtual and augmented reality stand to transform the art world, and the tech incubator Oregon Story Board is on the front lines. We scoped out a new artists residency they jump-started to give artists a chance to play with the newest cutting-edge technology.
The only Portland artist-in-residence, Ryan Woodring, has work in the group exhibition "ICONOCLASTIC" at Reed College's Cooley Gallery through April 28.
