n VR we trust is a project by THIS IS FAKE, in cooperation with plusnull e.V., funded by the E.ON Foundation (eon-stiftung.com). The curators Daniel Hengst and Clemens Schöll critically observe an increasing trend around VR in art, in the course of which many exhibitions and promotions are organized. They question whether VR is being used too uncritically and unreflectively in the art world and rate artistic content as often mediocre. You ask: With VR, are we currently in a period of media history in which McLuhan's "the medium is the message" is being fully realized? And if so, what concepts are crossing that point?
