Mixed and virtual art show; RectoVRso comes with the international VR meeting, Laval Virtual , which this year celebrats it 20th anniversary. This event stresses the links between art and digital innovation, and marks the creation of a dedicated center, the Art & VR Factory, founded by Judith Guez.

"With the digital, the participative and environmental installation of
the 60's becomes immersive as well as interactive. The spectator dives into
a virtual world and can intract with it on a pseudo-natural way.
"We want to question the technological object as much as the hybridation
between reality and virtuality. With art and virtual or mixed reality installations,
the artist can deconstruct their medium, he can interrogate the real-time interaction,
the immersion into a virtual world, the notion of space, the presence as a narrative
or conceptual vector,
the relational aesthetics which creates itself between the spectator and the
pieces, in other words the real/virtual continuum as a creation motor.
The show is entitled "Real matter/Virtual matter", and has two complementary
parts.
Recto VRso IN is the official gallery of the event, and takes place in the hisotirc center of Laval city, the Château-Neuf esplanade. It presents 14 pieces of famed or emergent digital artists, among which Julio Le Parc, Catherine Ikam, J-P Favand, Saint Machine, G. Bachini, Pia MYrvoLD. More info
