Leicester Square, 1990:
Zaha Hadid Paintings: Virtual Reality Experiences
A collaboration with Google Arts and Culture:
Zaha Hadid’s early paintings in virtual reality
On the occasion of the exhibition Zaha Hadid: Early Paintings and Drawings, a series of virtual reality experiences have been specially developed with Zaha Hadid Virtual Reality Group working in partnership with Google Arts & Culture. In the same way that Zaha Hadid's paintings served as tools for thinking through and proposing the design of new buildings, this experience seeks to translate some of the key aspects and DNA contained inside the paintings into virtual reality (VR). This is a 360° film of one of the virtual reality experiences.
