In May 26, 2023 von Bergen was offered a chance to share experiences teaching VR in a studio art context with UCLA’s XR Working Group via zoom:
“Virtual Reality in The Artist’s Studio” was a course taught these past years at Bard College Berlin to many undergraduates using VR for the first time. The main focus was developing art installations with the program “Tilt Brush” as an alternative to working with physical materials, with an opportunity to explore sustainable and affordable solutions to conventional studio art production. This presentation on May 26th will cover how the course evolved, sharing samples of student responses to themes and issues that brought their skillset as young artists to a new level.”
