Diurnal Heartbeat Shanghai VR 04 is a video with music of a Hybrid VR Painting by Dave Alber.

The viewerâs 360° rotation mirrors the earthâs diurnal rotation while demonstrating the pulsations between dawn and dusk, East and West, and old and new on both sides of Shanghaiâs Huangpu River.
VR technology here isnât used arbitrarily, but to invite you into conversations about the value of cultural continuityâsuch as the emphatic incorporation of representational art and traditional media into virtual realityâtime and space, Eastern and Western collaborations, and the paradoxical complexity of our moment and place in the contemporary world.
This video experience of Dave Alberâs Hybrid VR Paintings uses Shanghaiâs Bund as a symbolâsort of a microcosmâfor where the whole world is now. Shanghaiâand in particular, the architecture on both sides of the riverâare a snapshot, as it were, for what the whole world is presently experiencing as we move into a more globally interconnected society.
As we rotate in a 360° experience, we experience the global culture's experience of Eastern culture, Western culture, and a blended mix. Dawn and dusk reminds us of the earthâs rotation, the passage of time, the transformations of cultureâboth regionally and globallyâof which the location is a symbol.
Your direct 360° experience functions as a metaphor for placing us in the CENTER of a symbolic representation for what everyone on earth to some degree is presently experiencing in a globally interconnected world. The âheartbeatâ of Diurnal Heartbeat Shanghai is emphatically a regional experience, yet simultaneously⌠it is also a global experience. Specifically, Diurnal Heartbeat Shanghai VR 04 places you at Shanghaiâs Bund on the Pudong side of the Huangpu River in front of Shanghaiâs Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai International Convention Center, and Shanghai Tower at early sunset.
This is a video presentation of one of Dave Alberâs Hybrid VR Paintings.
