Hi Kan, Tell me what´s the new great idea of art, inside VR, and I´ll be the first > director to follow it. >
I see no great idea of art in VR. At least not currently. This question is very close the one I raise in my PhD thesis (completed last year) ... where I ask: What is the relationship between verisimilitude in sound (or VR, if you like) and composition (or art, if you like). The argument I develop is that the relationship is very tenuous, and that the two actually seem to compete and conflict (to create 'affect', in Deleuzian terms). In fact, I argue that the composer's attraction to VR (or ambisonics or whatever) is a kind of false route ... where there is the assumption that greater verisimilitude creates greater aesthetic engagement. I suggest that it might be the very opposite ... greater verisimilitude might actually create lesser aesthetic engagement. Actually, I think the right way to see it is that composers must engage with the aesthetic "idea" of verisimilitude ... rather than merely aiming for it.
