Art Antwerp
Art “Hack” Antwerp was Victor Verhelst’s (°1997) virtual VR hijack of the physical collaborative booth by ‘PLUS-ONE Gallery’ and ‘Gallery Sofie Van de Velde’ during Art Antwerp where he presented both previous and new work from his solo exhibition ‘TOXIC HAWAII’ at PLUS-ONE Gallery which was simountaneously running in the gallery.
As scale and experience become more dynamic concepts - in the digital world - the limitations of the traditional physical art fair booth could not hold the ambitious artist back.
As a reaction Victor Verhelst created a virtual copy of the physical booth to host his personal solo in VR. Not only at Art Antwerp fair, but people all over the world can visit his virtual booth.
