I'm in the lab in the Google Cultural Institute in Paris, and I'm quite excited.
Because today we're going to draw in 3D.
We've got VR glasses, a joystick and a bit of imagination.
Meet Tilt Brush!
Tilt brush is a technology that allows artists to paint in 3D, thanks to Virtual Reality.
It adds a new dimension to the pieces of art we are used to seeing.
The artist is not only painting a piece anymore...
they can paint an entire environment and you can go around, behind
and even within the piece of art.
There's an immersion. and this desire to create immersive environments has been
something artists have tried to do for centuries.
To be able to be inside the work, surrounded by it.
People love these immersive, interactive experiences.
Pipilotti Rist creates a fully immersive and sensory environment using video projections.
Another example is James Turrell
he creates room and spaces where light brings you into a new environment.
You don't look at this art, you are surrounded by it
This is the same thing with the Tilt Brush.
It has given artists the tools to make complete immersion possible.
You can dive into a work of art.
And when you're inside of the Tilt Brush piece, you experience the artists process.
Here again the Tilt Brush opens the door to the future of Art.
Not only can you send the mini-universe you just built to anyone...
but in addition the viewer can even draw on your piece of Art.
It becomes a collaboration, we can paint on the space and days later
someone will add to it, change it, or totally paint over it.
Exactly like in street art. I know it looks far from what we just saw
but maybe it's not that different!
Was it your first time on Tilt Brush?
What are your favourite tools on the Tilt Brush?
What is your creative process for street art?
First thing you see when you put on your VR headset is a time lapse of what the artist has already created.
You are invited into the intimate space of the artist and their creation.
You're watching them make it, this is a brand-new experience that you won't find anywhere else
and it's way easier to feel the energy of the artist when you are in the middle of this big under construction art.
We can easily imagine a future where we will all have a VR headset like we all have smart phones and TV's
And then many people can gather and create one unique piece together...
...accessible to all
It would be a great way to express ideas from us, from the people, collective wills, desire or needs.
It could even be like street art, a way to protest,
Directly painting into a digital space that we could inhabit in the future.
