A presentation about Gibson / Martelli’s latest research and work investigating VR performance technologies.

“Examining ideas of player, performer and visitor, european art duo Gibson / Martelli playfully address the position of the self – intertwining tropes of videogames and traditions of figure & landscape. Working with live simulation, performance capture, installation and video the artists create immersive virtual realities.” D. Surman ‘Performance In Disguise: Notes on Gibson / Martelli’
