Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the iconic HOPE imagery for Barack Obama's presidential campaign, has created his first virtual reality experience. The exhibition, titled DAMAGED, is Fairey's most ambitious show to date and takes aim at the current political climate. Fairey's message has changed from hope to purpose, with the exhibition serving as an honest diagnosis of the issues facing society. Fairey believes that art can be part of the solution, inspiring people to look at issues they might otherwise ignore or reject. DAMAGED also addresses the hindrance of social media, which has fallen secondary to self-indulgence and celebrity.<br/><br/>The virtual reality experience offers over 100 minutes of exclusive narration by Shepard Fairey and the opportunity to interact with hundreds of artworks, including world premier exclusives. The exhibition is a full three-dimensional photo-realistic representation of his DAMAGED show. The app also includes an optional augmented reality feature that involves image analysis, which requires a clear image. The AR quality is reduced when the camera can't see details, such as when the camera is pointed at a blank wall or when the room is too dark. Excessive motion reduces tracking quality as well. Users are advised to use the AR feature in a well-lit room and move their device gently to improve tracking quality.<br/><br/>Shepard Fairey's DAMAGED exhibition is a virtual reality experience that offers a unique opportunity to experience his most ambitious show to date.
