James Fox asks how technology is changing the way we experience art, bringing rainstorms into galleries, floating virtual artworks in the sky and immersing us in new worlds.
Art historian James Fox asks how technology is creating new ways of seeing, from immersive art installations to augmented reality.
To explore these new visual worlds, James steps into an iconic painting, takes a virtual trip to teamLab Borderless in Tokyo, stays dry in Random International鈥檚 Rain Room and looks up to see Nina Chanel Abney鈥檚 Imaginary Friend hovering in mid-air.
And, just beneath the high-tech surface, James uncovers some old aesthetic ideals as he discovers how the sublime is being re-made and re-imagined in the digital age.
