In this digital era, technological advances have enabled art to transcend the physical world, especially using Virtual reality (VR) a medium that attempts to parallel life itself. However, what if you can have the sensation of being surrounded by a completely different reality, otherworldly environments (Murray, 1997) where digital homeware design intersects with art.
Infinite design aims to provide a creative and innovative platform for upcoming digital artists to showcase their work, 3D homeware designing skills, along with their own curated virtual and imagined environments to reflect the collection’s theme, colours or concept. As well as experiencing vivid settings, users will be able to experience them through digital storytelling. The storytelling will come to life through spacial audio, 3D visuals and animated text. Subsequently, this will help navigate users through the multiplicity of these different artistic environment by actively engaging and grasping a further understanding for the artist’s creative process.
The use of digitally storytelling can further incentivise users to digitally purchase some pieces during Infinite design’s online events. This makes Infinite design not only an entertaining space, but one that can also be seen as an investment for users and artists to build a portfolio of digital art and non-fungible assets. The file formats of the digital pieces will also be compatible with any VR game. The versality of Infinite Design can attract a wide range of users from design enthusiast to artists, avid gamers to digital collectors or the everyday user wanting to escape the likes of real life. Infinite Design will receive a small percentage from the sale, newfound owners can resell these digital items, in this case 3D configured furniture as well as the original artist to make a percentage of the profit.
Infinite Design’s virtual, inclusive space offers significant opportunities for any digitally focused artist to widen their reach and provide those viewing their work to either escape the physical world, invest or collect digital art.
