Presentation of VR and Art installation that addresses mental health and an evening with artists.

Dominic Green (Filmmaker) Daniel Bacchus (VR, multimedia specialist and digital design) both senior lecturers at Sheffield Hallam University in collaboration with multi disciplinary artist Marcel Schreur will present an insightful and entertaining evening during the www.londonbiennale.co.uk 

A Virtual Reality and Art installation which gives viewers a unique insight into the mind and life of an artist who suffers daily with the aftereffects of oral cancer and vascular dementia is being unveiled for the first time at one of London’s most prestigious art exhibitions.

Daniel Bacchus Senior lecturer at SHU explains; "The work was developed through an iterative process of interviews, prototyping and personal responses from Schreur, the work generates a space that allows participants to consider aspects of their own mental process through the lens of difference and disability, to embody some of the physical characteristics of Schreur's condition and to help facilitate communication about the experience of living with life-altering disability between sufferers, non sufferers and medical professionals."

Visual art and cutting edge technology can lead to a better understanding and affect positive societal, if not humanitarian, change.

Life is beautiful. Always. Addresses Mental and physical health.
