Bug Fix and New Artist
I'm excited to include the work of Artonymous Artifakt to Level 6 of the Infinite Art Museum. Beautiful, unnerving pieces built from collaboration between artist and machine.

Additionally, I realized that there was a bug in the arm-swinging locomotion that caused a short "jump" of the player when the grip buttons were pressed. That is now fixed.

Major Update to the Infinite Art Museum
I'm very excited to announce the first major update to the Infinite Art Museum. This includes:

  • An all new VR environment inspired by the "Library of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges
  • Our first Special Collection of sculptures
  • A Special Collection for a recent cryptoart show in Shanghai China
  • Nine new artists in the General Collection
  • A new UI and navigation system for changing between levels

The feedback since the IAM was launched this spring has been incredibly useful. I've listened and tried to build on it to get the Infinite Art Museum closer to something that really will be able to be an endless home for art in VR.

Please try this new version, leave a review and let me know what you think!

Kind regards,

I'm excited to announce the June update of the Infinite Art Museum including a new general level and a new Special Collection.

Level 6 features art by:

  • Marty Ronkyo
  • Zakaria Kziber
  • XCOPY
  • Peter Bock

Our new Special Collection is called Decomposition and is a reproduction of a show by the artist IMC, original presented at MIT's Wiesner Student Art Gallery in 2018. Decomposition examines how manufactured components of technology come together and fall apart.

The next update of the Infinite Art Museum will be on the first of July and will include more artists for Level 6 as well as a number of new pieces from artists on the other levels.

Work has started on the Infinite Art Museum Volume 2. If you would like to submit art or get involved, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

IAM Special Collection: Utage Hanami - Works in Retrospect
It is my pleasure to present the second IAM Special Collection - over fifty paintings by the Japanese artist Utage Hanami, a Japanese artist living in Fukushima prefecture, northern Japan.

Hanami-san paints lush, impressionistic visions of Japan and particularly the Japanese countryside. This is the world I have lived in for more than ten years. He sees the same wind blowing through trees and the same sleeping winter cherry trees that I do and he recreates them with so much love and such a deep understanding that I would unhesitatingly show his paintings to anyone who wants to understand my personal experience in Japan.

If you are in Japan and have any opportunity to do so, I urge you to visit the Takken Civil Art Exhibition Hall in Aomori City from May 10th to 12th to see Hanami-san's works in person. As of today, May 1st, I'm also very proud to present his pieces in the Infinite Art Museum.

IAM Special Collection: Davey Jose - Living with Spinal Cord Injury
Infinite Art Museum Special Collections are custom levels in the IAM that focus on the work of one artist. These collections either showcase a large collection of work or reproduce an installation at a traditional gallery.

We are excited to share our first Special Collection - the VR debut of:

Living with Spinal Cord Injury


This show just completed it's opening day at the National Spinal Injuries Center in Stoke Mandeville and I'm excited to be working with Davey to make the collection permanently available in the Infinite Art Museum's first Special Collection.

Davey himself has been living with a serious spinal cord injury from a very young age. This collection of paintings explores that experience in a powerful and important way. The pieces are beautiful and an intense reminder of the physicality of life. "Living with Spinal Cord Injury" isn't only about people with spinal cord injury - it's a message that our bodies are complicated and delicate constructs that, whatever their strengths or failings, we depend on for life.

Lighting Adjustment
Thanks very much for visiting the IAM. So far the feedback has been very positive but a few people have said that the lighting system (having them instantiate in random locations) was a pain in the neck.

I liked the effect but I can see now how it doesn't add to the experience of the paintings. I've changed it so that the lighting cubes are lined up around the perimeter of the walls. You can still grab and move them if you would like to change the lighting but their default position should be less intrusive.

The Infinite Art Museum is an evolving thing. Please keep giving feedback!
