Overview

'If Only. ' is a unique virtual reality experience that invites players to step inside an architectural space and witness its transformation in real-time.

Developed by RMIT VX Lab, this simulation plunges you into a space inspired by M@ STUDIO Architects' "Haven’t you always wanted…? " NGV Architecture Commission.

The installation famously transplanted a suburban car wash into the art gallery, exploring themes of 'uncertain conditions' and 'dematerialisation' through materials like cricket netting and hot pink astro turf.
