3. FRIEZE NEW YORK INTRODUCES VR COMPONENT: Frieze New York, the annual art fair being held at Randall’s Island Park through Sunday, launched its first-ever virtual-reality component: a booth featuring works visible via high-tech headsets. Off site, the works are also viewable through the downloadable Acute Art app along with a VR headset such as Google Cardboard. The VR section is called Electric and features seven works—six in virtual reality and one in augmented reality. The New York Times: “This might be the first time many people see VR art in person, [Daniel Birnbaum, curator of the VR section,] said. Of the in-app element, he said, it’s a chance for a ‘mainstream audience who wouldn’t normally go to fairs’ to have the experience. Loring Randolph, Frieze’s artistic director for the Americas, said, ‘I think the work in Electric is going to blow people away and I’m very excited about the new dimension that it is going to bring to the fair.’”
