Hauser & Wirth unveils VR program to explore virtual exhibitions
PhilNote: Hauser & Wirth has a gallery in the DTLA Arts District.
Hauser & Wirth claims that the program is the first initiative of its kind to be developed entirely within the art world to create true-to-life exhibition spaces, comparable to the fidelity found in the latest video game technology, by developing a technique for converting the gallery’s database of artworks in 3D assets. “HWVR builds the virtual 3D space from the ground up at a pixel level, rather than relying on combined photos, which gives an unprecedented level of flexibility,” the gallery boasted.

"Artist Spotlight" will highlight one artist each week and present a single artwork along with pricing information on the gallery's website for a 48-hour period.
Participating artists include Sarah, Sze, Stanley Whitney, Jennifer Guidi, Roe Ethridge, Titus Kaphar, Katharina Grosse, Theaster Gates, Dan Colen, Urs Fischer, Mark Grotjahn, Mary Weatherford, Rudolf Polanszky, Damien Hirst and Jenny Saville.
