This is a project called Tilt Brush that takes place within virtual reality. Essentially, it’s like a 3D drawing program that you can edit in VR. Google recently added “Audio Brushes,” which allows the drawing to detect sound and then procedurally produce or alter paintings based on that sound. I think this is really cool technology, the way it combines the four areas of virtual reality, sound, visual art, and procedural creation. I’m sure that for most this form of creation is prohibitively expensive, as it requires a computer capable of running VR, a headset of some sort, and decent recording equipment. A shame, because one of the great things about digital art is the way it can make art available to a wide variety of people, both powerful tools of creation and the art itself for consumption.
