English

Virtual Africa art

Islamic calligraphy and architecture have a long history of practice in the oriental world. Huda Hashim relocate parts of this story in the virtual environments she models with 3D animation softwares. By designing a 3D art gallery, it is now transformed into a “web gallery” that can be accessed online by a larger audience. Furthermore, the ability to manipulate the 3D environment allows for the potential to create installations that otherwise would be costly and difficult to construct in the real world.
