Inspired by the concept of the uncanny valley, this exhibition features virtual sculptures ‘constructed’ from hand built models, combined with those sourced from a warehouse of prefab objects available via the 3D modelling program SketchUp

The work is installed in a model of the Worth Ryder Art Gallery via the Artsteps virtual environment, presenting these unruly virtual sculptures in a uncanny representation of a gallery where currently only robotic viewing stations roam.

Note: Please give the exhibition several minutes to load!

The virtual gallery will open to the public this week. Viewers can access the space with a typical web browser.
