Abstract

This paper outlines a set of conditions that constellate around the subject of Virtual Reality (VR) artworks and their relationship to museological space. These episodic notes on the subjects of virtuality, curatorial design and submersion indicate how the horizon for understanding VR extends beyond the cinematic image to the cinematographic installation. Informed in a direct and highly situated way by a curatorial reading of filmmaker Alejandro Iñárritu’s celebrated Carne y Arena (2017), their synopses expand the scope for how we might engage VR artworks and their exhibitionary conditions both within their immediate museological context and further afield.
