About “Loova VR”

When you enter the VR world of “Loova”, you will see a space filled with a variety of highly saturated objects and dancing people in front of you. Each distinctive object is placed randomly.

 

Random Objects

The dancers all perform the same movements, appearing almost puppet-like.

Repetitive Movements

What is the significance of each object? Enjoy the music as you explore.

The world of “Loova” was created to reflect pop art and the current state of the Internet.

Pop art is an art movement that occurred in the 1960s. To be considered pop art, works should reflect the state of popular media in a society of mass consumption and mass production.

One of the most famous pop artists is Andy Warhol, known for his many paintings of actress Marilyn Monroe.

He did not paint Marilyn Monroe because he liked her, but rather because he wanted to create paintings that depicted the “situation” occurring in advertisements at the time.

This leads to how we interact with the current state of the Internet.

 

Flood of Images

The Internet today allows us to create our “identity” by posting all kinds of images through social media and other means.

It is a modern situation in which we have come to wear the popular mass-produced “images of the Internet” as part of our digital identity.

Wearing Images

“Loova VR” is a space that presents a collection of “random images” arranged to be worn and mass consumed.

It is a virtual space created in response to the modern age of wearing—consuming—popular images.
