Google Tiltbrush w/ Semi-Permanent

Akin Atelier director, Kelvin Ho, was invited to join a suite of artists at Semi Permanent 2017 to demonstrate their craft using the google tiltbrush. Using the Google Tiltbrush, Ho built a virtual reality within an 18th century glasshouse for an audience, extending their understanding of the possibilities of VR. The build was captured in a VR film and can be viewed below.

"From a physical point of view – typically you would draw from your wrist, elbow or shoulder as they are the principles of drawing or painting, but what the google tiltbrush opened up was a physical pivot point and using your entire body axis as a tool. We discovered the more you use it, the more you are essentially using your body as a compass or as a straight line or pivot point – you can’t do that when you’re drawing something flat". - KELVIN HO.
