Tabor Robak Megafauna Virtual Reality Exhibition

About Tabor Robak Megafauna Virtual Reality Exhibition

Visitors have the opportunity to experience a digital recreation of artist Tabor Robak’s artwork Megafauna which was exhibited in the NGV Triennial 2020 exhibition in virtual reality. In collaboration with the artist, researchers at the Deakin Motion Lab have meticulously reconstructed Tabor Robak’s Megafauna installation into an interactive digital format. Visitors can enter the virtual exhibition via a VR headset where they can freely walk through the exhibition space and access a virtual artist tour of the artworks on display.

Megafauna is an installation comprising a series of computer-animated sculptures exploring themes of artificial intelligence and the almost mythical importance we place on technology in our society. It raises ethical and philosophical questions to bear in mind as we design for the future. This event will interest designers wishing to see how virtual reality is being harnessed to represent artists and physical exhibitions. Tabor Robak, Megafauna, 2020 was commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria and supported by Deakin University and Paul Cross and Barry Jane.
