VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF VIRTUAL ART PRESENTS: THICKNESS OF CALLIGRAPHY

Thickness of Calligraphy, the first exhibition at the Virtual Museum of Virtual Art (VMoVA) in VRChat, explores 3D calligraphy as a new evolving art form. Featuring the artworks of the Chinese 3D calligraphy artist, Boyan, the exhibition is curated and created by the Chinese VR artist Jessien Huang. It divides Boyan‘s research into four stages, presented through a number of experiments, exploring various techniques. While the artworks are exhibited chronologically as research results, the exhibition also tells the story of Boyan and his research process that started during the Covid-19 pandemic.
