• "Dreams of Dali" from The Dali Museum.
• "Morphogenesis" from Can Buyukberber and Yagmur Uyanik.
• Artists from the Google Tilt Brush Artist in Residency Program, on hand with live demos of their work.
Dreams of Dali
The Dali Museum of St. Petersburg, Florida partnered with award-winning advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners to create a stunning virtual reality rendition of Dalí’s 1935 painting “Archaeological Reminiscence of Millet’s ‘Angelus.’” “Dreams of Dali” drops the viewer onto a vast desert full of dreamlike oddities, allowing us to explore the world of the Surrealist master in 360 degrees. “Dreams of Dali” premiered as part of the 2016 exhibition “Disney and Dalí: Architects of the Imagination,” in a collaboration with the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. The award-winning VR experience has garnered visitor acclaim, online praise and international recognition through a multitude of industry awards, including the prestigious Cannes Cyber Lion GOLD; a Webby People’s Voice award; and a Facebook Silver award for Innovation, among others.

Fistful of Stars
Fistful of Stars is the first multidimensional view into space in virtual reality using photorealistic simulations of the iconic imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope. The experience was initially completed by Eliza and The Endless Collective as the visual accompaniment to The Hubble Cantata, a musical work by composer Paola Prestini and librettist Royce Vavrek. The project premiered in 2016 at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn as a part of the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival. Over 6,000 audience members journeyed together through the Orion Nebula in this stunning feat of collective VR.
