| Abstract: | This thesis explores the impact of virtual reality (VR) in enhancing the feeling of immersion attributed to art exhibitions. The increased use of VR technologies in various fields has opened new possibilities for interaction within the art world. By studying the possibilities of the technology, and leveraging its capabilities, this research will explore how VR can be used in artistic contexts to create more immersive experiences between the audience, artist, and artworks. It will parallelly explore the marginalization of artists of color in the context of the Dutch artistic community because of the country’s colonial history, and how VR can help to give voice to marginalized artists. A VR museum exhibition was designed and implemented alongside the Surinamese artist Remy Jungerman. A number of Remy’s artworks are showcased in a virtual exhibition, allowing visitors to experience them in a completely different way. To evaluate the effectiveness of the built system, a mixed-method evaluation is conducted, where both quantitative and qualitative data are collected and analyzed for several participants. After their interactions, participants respond to an immersion questionnaire which is used to assign an immersion score for their experience. |
