Synopsis

Experience a version of Debbie Ding’s The Collector and find out more about the process of creating this work in this interactive artist talk, held in VRChat.

 

The Collector is an exploratory 3D video game for the Oculus Quest 2, exploring the aesthetics of commodities. With the loss of physical collections, what could be excavated or recreated through machine learning or predictive and visualisation technologies?

 

This talk is held in conjunction with the exhibition Evolving Currents, presently on at Jendela (Visual Arts Space), which The Collector by Debbie Ding is part of.
