Recreating lost ecosystems in virtual reality

I’m a huge fan of VR and I found this article really interesting. It’s about an artist who creates lost environments in VR, recently creating an exhibition where viewers could witness a kind of Hawaiian bird that went extinct in 1987. At one point he talks about how VR is a uniquely corporal medium, which allows it to convey artistic experiences more traditional mediums can’t. I think it’s really exciting that people are coming up with such creative ways to use this brand-new technology to create impactful art.
