Ildar Yabukov VR VAN Visiting Artist
Ildar was a visiting artist who came to University of Nevada, Reno to provide a small workshop. This art workshop had a combination use of technology and media. The camera that was used was a special camera that could take 360 degree shot by having a fish bowl effect. Ildar's use of media in the public and engages with non-art audiences. He also runs a school for young people, along side his art. At this school he teaches the basics of electronics through media art projects.
With the use of these specially design Virtual Reality glasses called Wearality Sky he help us see what it was like in a VR world. He showed us some examples of video work on YouTube called Global Friendship workshop #1. In this video you are surrounded by a virtual world, one made from imagination. The colors, shapes, characters, etc are abstract and the story seems to be open-end with no real finalization. But the video is colorful and very playful. Almost like a child's TV show.
In the work shop we were task with creating a virtual world in a box. The boxes we created had this branding "Demand Global Friendship" which was created via laser sketch. The edges of the boxes where cut out with lasers, so we had to tape together the box and at the base floor the box was a cut out for the camera. After we got the box assembled we create a world with figures, shapes, paint, characters, etc. After a few hours and a lot of moving each piece little by little/ stop and go motion film, we create a video. We tried not to have a real story line for this video. We wanted it to be a bit more on the ambiguous side. It was a lot hard to produce this kind of video where the process was stop and go motion because you would move each character, shapes, colors, etc. a small amount. But the end result was a cool video.
