In preparation for my senior thesis project entitled Illusion, Immersion and the Myth of Total Reality, partly based on the work of Oliver Grau in his book Virual Art (2003 MIT Press), I prepared several written and visual overviews on the history of digital and virtual art.
This project examined salient topics and themes through new and immersive media. It attempts to define work as Seeing Is, Believing Is, Feeling Is, or Knowing Is based on each piece’s relative distance from the physical.
