Portrait VR premiered at EGX Rezzed 2019 at the Tobacco Docks in London.

Are you ready to dive into a realm where visual art and music converge in Virtual Reality? Simply relax, put on your headset, and enjoy the experience.

In this immersive journey, you'll gradually and almost imperceptibly rise above the scene. At the heart of it all, a humble musician, Jacek Crobbs Rutkowski, plays the Handpan drum, surrounded by a dynamically moving crowd centered around the stage. The bustling energy of central London contrasts beautifully with the serene music and the musician's voiceover. The visual style is ornamental, with neon hues evoking the vibrant nightlife of Leicester Square, where the artist frequently performs.

I've incorporated motion capture data of the Handpan performance into this piece. This experimental work explores how ornamental modeling can harmonize with music, striving for a cohesive and engaging animation style.
