Today I was entranced by the video “Dreams of Dali,”<\/a> a “virtual reality experience” which takes viewers inside Salvador Dali’s\u00a0Archeological Reminiscence of Millet\u2019s \u201cAngelus.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n

The video was created as part of the Disney and Dali exhibit at the Dal\u00ed Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The virtual reality is a synthesis between the fairylands we see in classic Disney films and Dali’s dreamlike paintings. Not only does it let the viewer see a whole new version of the painting, it allows one to imagine a world of Dali’s creation, maybe even entering into the realm of his mind. The presentation is more like that of a video game than a movie, as the viewer really feels like they are exploring this other world. “Lead developer Nathan Shipley used the same 3D modeling, lighting, and texturing tools game developers use, and built a gaze-based navigation system” to create this experience (Wired<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This video is free from text and there is no voiceover other than the haunting music playing in the background. The lack of human presence mediating one’s experience with the video differs from the videos available on Lacma’s website, and it is what makes this video so compelling.<\/p>\n

As far as an online course, I would be interested in a course on Art Criticism. Criticism can be snarky and funny (like a YouTube video) which would make it enjoyable to watch through, while still being educational.<\/p>\n
