Rene Magritte’s works reinterpreted as an interactive VR world.
This is Not a Magritte VR
Magritte VR
Magritte VR is a virtual reality journey through the work of one of the world’s greatest and most popular artists.
This VR experience is triggered simultaneously for a shared immersive experience, for an audience of 50 at a time, produced and directed by BDH Immersive.
Magritte VR uses hi-resolution scans of Magritte’s original paintings and 3D modeling to generate an unforgettable ride through the artist’s remarkable work. This virtual reality presentation is made to be viewed in a giant bowler hat, a specially constructed VR cinema installation.
The audience is immersed in a series of authentic landscapes; beach, forest, mountains, and sky. MAGRITTE VR celebrates his wit, illusions and the great love for his wife Georgette, his muse and inspiration throughout his life.
Rene Magritte ranks alongside Dalí and Miró as one of the most preeminent surrealist artists. MAGRITTE VR is part of the Magritte Experience event in Belgium acknowledging 50 years since the artist’s death.

John Edmark – Blooms
Much of John Edmark’s work celebrates the patterns underlying space and growth. Through kinetic sculptures and transformable objects, he strives to give viewers access to the surprising structures hidden within apparently amorphous space.
While art is often a vehicle for fantasy, his work is an invitation to plunge deeper into our own world and discover just how astonishing it can be. In experiencing a surprising behavior, one’s sense of wonder and delight is increased by the recognition that it is occurring within the context of actual physical constraints. The works can be thought of as instruments that amplify our awareness of the sometimes tenuous relationship between facts and perception.
John employs precise mathematics in the design and fabrication of his work. He does this neither out of a desire to exhibit precision per se, nor to exalt the latest technology, but because the questions he is trying to formulate and answer about spatial relationships can only be addressed with geometrically exacting constructions. Mathematical precision is an essential ally in his goal of achieving clarity.
Nature is generous and inexhaustible, rewarding curiosity with startling insights and an abundance of ever more beautiful mysteries. Through his work, John endeavors to share the joy of discovery with others in a continuing pursuit of the timeless patterns of change.

Miles Johnston
Miles Johnson works primarily in pencil drawing. His surreal art explores psychological transformation in portraits and figurative images of female subjects.
Captivating. Mindbending. Recursive. Face melting. Gorgeous.
Johnston’s art is our psyche staring back from the void. Beyond the threshold of strange changes; he illustrates not a calculus infinite worlds, but the infinite selves it is possible to become.
Transformations Series
Deform. Divide. Attract. Recur.
Each picture below is a story of transformation the subject is undergoing.
