How virtual reality can be used in art history #arthistory #artshorts

Digital innovation is a varied and powerful tool for engaging new audiences with pre-modern art history, however it also presents potential challenges. How can we stay true to the original artworks? How do we ensure accessibility in digital projects? What can we learn from recent projects which combine digital innovation and pre-modern art history?

Here, Gaëlle Mourre (immersive film writer and director) talks about the Artemisia Gentileschi Virtual Reality Experience '(Hi)Story of a Painting: Light in the Shadow' at Burghley House in Summer 2022, which used VR technology to explore the life and works of the 17th-century Baroque painter.
