We want one list to fantasize about the theory of art in VR, and one
where we discuss actually *creating* it?
As if these were two distinct processes?
I don't know about the rest of you folks, but as 'an artist' (whatever that
means) I think theory through the artworks I create. Any creation of mine
embodies a lot of theory. Theory without creation is not only nearly
impossible (an "I theorize with my hands" sort of situation, here) but
pretty uninteresting.
I would think that by separating 'theory' and 'practice' into two lists,
we're unnecessarily propogating a mythical separation of thought-processes
which isn't real, or useful. Why can't we talk about both on one list?
How about: "This is what I'd create if I had a RealityEngine on my desk,
but since I don't, I'm doing this instead..."?
Because I *am* creating VR artworks, and I am also dreaming about
the future, and the two seem to be inextricably combined.
