To be able to paint in space
I am for
the first time given a third dimension.
I've never been so
affected by a piece of technology.
You are inside of your drawing.
(Music)
The second I tried Tilt Brush,
I started crying.
I couldn't believe how powerful this was.
Tilt Brush is a drawing program designed
by Google.
It allows you to
use your hand as the paint brush.
And you can draw in every direction.
These tools are not bound by physical
laws.
I don't have to worry about gravity.
It is entirely, whatever I want it to do.
My name's "Teek Mach",
I'm a virtual reality artist.
(Music)
This is my apartment in Los Angeles.
The great thing about being a VR artist is
that, even though the space is really
tiny, I can put on the headset and
it's a way to make any space magical.
Like I can adjust the intensity
of the light like this.
(Music)
I'm live painting while the orchestra
plays, and that ability to kind of put you
inside of a song, suddenly,
I can do that with a painting.
(Music)
I've been painting since I was a kid.
It's something that I do almost every day.
(Music)
I wanted to know more about virtual
reality because it sounded amazing,
(Laugh) but I had never done it.
I mean, I've been drawing my entire, and
like- - But not like this right?
- Yeah, really.
It's like talking about love.
You have to experience it to fully
understand it.
My gosh, this is insane.
(Laugh) I have been living in
virtual reality for the last five months.
Every single day,
on average about eight to ten hours a day.
(Laugh) Tell me this stuff is real.
I've been able to create an entire world
of imagination.
(Music)
I've never felt like there's been such
a clear vehicle for me to show and
express my ideas.
With each stroke it feels like I
am mapping out the way I think.
And I'm just giving you a tour of my mood.
This is, to me it is a real world.
It is just as valid as the physical world.
I can put the headset on you and
you can go inside of my head, and
you can explore what I've created.
And that sharing of experience
is an incredibly effective tool that I
think is only going to grow.
(Music)
I think it just connects us more.
I can't wait to see other people's
projects and
the worlds that exists in everyone else.
(Music)
- It's like a dream.
You feel even the energy that's going
across the force being directed towards
the water, and you feel your impact on
the nature around you.
(Music)
It feels magical intuitive, and
it feels like you have superpowers.
