Virtual Reality As A New Tool In Painting: Painting In The Fourth Dimension

Fine art theory looking to the future of painting, into the virtual and beyond.

This book proposes a pioneering theoretical framework for the emerging discipline of fine art virtual reality painting, situated within the broader context of the expanded field of painting. It seeks to bridge the often overlooked intersection between fine arts and media arts, particularly focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by VR as a media for artistic expression.

While there is a well-established body of literature on VR within the realm of media arts, there is a conspicuous absence of theory grounded in the fine arts, especially concerning VR painting. As contemporary VR technology becomes increasingly accessible and sophisticated, the need for a robust theoretical foundation for VR painting has become imperative. This book aims to address this critical gap.

Whether you are a VR practitioner, theorist, or simply intrigued by the potential theoretical implications of VR technology on the arts, this forthcoming book is an essential resource. Anticipated for release in 2025 by Palgrave Macmillan and Springer Nature, it promises to be a significant contribution to the field.
