3-D Experimental VR and Art Practices: Untangling Another Dimension


Add your own review!

Overview

A critical survey of artistic practices that involve the use of 3-D, which is emerging as a scholarly field in its own right. Though we see in three dimensions, we tend to notice 3-D when it is artificially created, as with a stereoscope. Rather than tell the history of 3-D through technique and technology, Rebecca Hackemann brings a conceptual, artistic, and critical view to her topic, unpacking its use in conceptual art, sculpture, and other mediums. Bringing together artists who were inspired by three-dimensional imagery and their theories, Hackemann surveys sixty years of 3-D in contemporary art for indicators of a turn in visual culture, foregrounding meaning and content. Her analysis spotlights 3-D as it comes into its own as a scholarly and artistic field that borders on new media, photography, and film.

Reviews

Rebecca Hackemann's new book is a superb and indispensable account of the creative and critical exploration of stereoscopy, 3-D and VR by a wide range of artists since the early twentieth century. Especially now, at a moment when powerful technology corporations are massively commodifying and routinizing VR and 3-D products, Hackemann's study provides a crucial resource for sustaining oppositional and counter-practices of visuality and perceptual experience. -- Jonathan K. Crary, Meyer Schapiro Professor of Modern Art and Theory, Columbia University
