Rezensionen

"Tavinor's earlier work on the aesthetics of video games kick-started philosophical research in that area; this book will do the same for the aesthetics of virtual reality."

Nathan Wildman, Tilburg University, The Netherlands

"The Aesthetics of Virtual Reality offers an informative introduction to VR media as picturing media, as well as a persuasive analysis of the ways in which they can be used to remediate our perceptual experiences."

Nele van de Mosselaer, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
