VR series 2: Interium by David Stout and Cory Metcalf
Watch my interview with David Stout on his and Cory Metcalf piece Interium. Interium is both a video installation and an integrated virtual reality experience. The project utilizes real-time animation and generative sound to immerse the viewer-participant in a detailed other worldly expanse populated by morphogenic visual forms. Interium is rendered in a hybrid visual language that seamlessly fuses supple pattern formations inspired by the flora and fauna of the natural world with kinetic sculptural structures reminiscent of man-made artifacts and architectures. On entering Interium we encounter both the visceral presence of alien life and our own innate physically responsive emotive being.
Watch my interview with David Stout, where he explains in details how he and Cort Metcalf used VR technology to create this piece.
