The app, which is bundled in with the HTC Vive,has already become a plaything for a select group of artists invited by The Google CulturalInstitute to trial the technology in Paris earlier this year.

 

"I had this idea ofwhat I wanted to do, but when I entered the virtual space, at that moment everythingchanged," says calligrapher SaidDokins.

"What really struckme was the ability that this has for this to be a platform for installations inmuseum and gallery space," said Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada onhow the technology could be applied.

 

Graffiti artist Chu agrees, arguing TiltBrush "[is] going to revolutionize how people are going to view immersiveartworks."
