Moonage Virtual Reality

Aug 11, 2018 - Sep 30, 2018
For the first time ever at Phoenix Art Museum, guests will have the opportunity to experience photography and video in a whole new dimension. Opening on August 11, Moonage Virtual Reality will take viewers on a simulated journey through rock-and-roll fashion and culture, as well as Pop Art, thanks to three virtual-reality films by filmmaker Travis Hutchison.


Offering an out-of-this-world perspective, the suite of films in the cutting-edge exhibition celebrates the music, fashion, and style of three legendary figures: Andy Warhol, who helped define the Pop Art movement of the late 1960s; David Bowie, whose glam-rock music transformed pop culture in the early ’70s; and Kenny Scharf, whose psychedelic art influenced the ‘80s underground New York art scene. Using an ordinary smartphone inserted into a virtual-reality headset, guests will be able to explore the simulated environments of Moonage Virtual Reality simply by moving their heads.
