Newlyn Society of Artists: Engage, 1st – 23rd April 2023
Spring exhibition featuring work by the society’s 85 member artists. Five NSA members have had the opportunity to work with Professor Tanya Krzywinska, a Research Professor working with Immersive Games and Technologies at Falmouth University. They have been given support to create augmented and virtual reality dimensions for their own work.
Newlyn Society of Artists members Michelle Ohlson, Andrew Litten, Simon Averill, Kate Walters and Pat Wilson-Smith have been developing pieces of work using Augmented Reality so that while a work might hang on the wall, other versions of it can be seen through a phone app. Kate Walters has also created a piece using Virtual Reality which can be experienced using a headset so that the viewer feels inside the actual work.
