Chris Milk was born in New York and now resides in Los Angeles creating new and innovative ways to interact with art. He first started his career doing music videos and some photography and later invented and is now CEO of ‘Within’, a virtual reality company as well as the co-founder of “Here be Dragons’, a virtual reality production company. He now focuses on enhancing human connection via emotional connection. Using cross media and multiple mediums to create exposure to true beauty in; physical, digital, and intangible aspects of everyone’s lives.
Milk’s work is super intriguing, we’ve looked at quite a few artists in this course, but I don’t think any of them come this close to using today’s technology in order to create something entirely new and generate a new perspective on human interaction and art as a whole. It’s crazy to think that if you’ve ever interacted with or played VR you’ve had a chance of using something that his company created and intended for that exact use. You become the art.
