Mat Collishaw restages 1839 photography show in virtual reality | Technology | The Guardian
Art galleries have long specialised in transporting visitors to another world, allowing them to dive into Hockneys swimming pool, hear the clamour of war in Picassos Guernica or feel the spray of the sea from a Turner scene all within the confines of four white walls.But a new dimension is making its way into museums and galleries across the UK, one that extends the physical space into an experimental virtual world.From next month, Somerset House in London will open its first exhibition rendered entirely in a virtual reality space. Renowned British artist Mat Collishaw will digitally recreate the first photography exhibition, held in 1839 by William Henry Fox Talbot. Once viewers put on their VR goggles, they will be able to walk into this virtual space and view the works on the walls, as well as the glass vitrines and equipment as they would have been displayed almost 180 years ago.
