Ai Weiwei's mitosing Stools are iconic sculptures, but if you've never seen them in person then 3D artist Moritz Reichartz's virtual experience Mashup Between the Clouds might be the next best thing. Put on some virtual reality goggles and drop into a hypersurreal red, yellow, and green world replete with sculpturally morphing, gravity-defying furniture.Mashup Between the Clouds was an entry in rendering software company Otoy's "Render the Metaverse" competition last year, winning third place. "I wanted to create a colorful and fun spatial mashup of my favourite 3D objects that I was creating," Reichartz says in a description of the video. "I can’t really remember what happened… Everything started lifting off the ground and got mixed up in a colorful space floating between clouds," he continues.In the demo video below, you can see how really good tools can make even wackadoodle worlds like this one seem wholly believable.If you have a VR headset, you can interact with the experience here or download it on the Galaxy Gear VR marketplace.
