Can't get enough of exploring other realms after visiting ArtScience Museum's Virtual Realms: Videogames Transformed exhibition? Good news: The ArtScience Museum is launching a new and permanent VR Gallery to bring visitors novel immersive experiences using state-of-the-art VR headsets and controllers.
The gallery's opening exhibition? Hyperrealities, a VR exhibition that spotlights a trio of innovative artworks by contemporary artists Olafur Eliasson, Marina Abramović and Anish Kapoor. Simply slip on the VR headset to dive into a dazzling mix of alternate realities where you'll explore the intricate networks of muscle and flesh within your own body (think Magic School Bus, albeit without the bus), touch and shape rainbows, and experience the devastating chaos of crumbling polar ice caps.
