Centre for Impossible Media
UE VR: Beyond Human
Over the past decade I have had the pleasure of soundtracking a huge range of artworks with UE. Encouraged by the limitations born of the world-wide Covid 19 pandemic, UE teamed up with Human Studio to create the Centre for Impossible Media (CIM), the studio’s original platform for bespoke virtual experiences.
Beyond Human is the only place to see the latest versions of some of the collective’s artworks from its installations and commissions from 2011 to 2020.
Originally displayed as a 360° projection in a physical museum, Communion is housed in VR in an impossibly tall cathedral-like space, giving the impression of the video art continuing hundreds of metres above and below the viewer’s head.
Universal Everything joined together with Human Studio – in a collaboration between two influential Sheffield-formed collectives – to present CIM VR. This new platform for displaying moving image enables visionary artists to take their ideas beyond the boundaries of the physical. It liberates the imagination from the constraints of geography, scale and logistics – instead taking advantage of the uncharted territory and freedom from convention that exist in the fields of virtual exhibition and events production.
