Abstract
With virtual reality (VR) technology, artwork becomes a process rather than a definite object, the perception of receiver could be the process of Art, and has been of unprecedented importance in art creation. It is VR that really gives receiver an identity of “creator”, and the completion of VR art becomes inseparably bound to perception of receiver, in so far, it could be woven as strands into an activity that calls the VR artwork into play. It is only through the process of receiver’s perception that the artwork could enter into its changing visions. During the whole process, perception of receiver may be everywhere, and VR becomes a psychological state to describe the perception of receiver happened in the process of art reception. On one side, full body immersive in VR broaden the esthetic perception in artwork, but on the other side, there will be lack of emotion and thought in some degree, so the conflict between full body immersion and imagination remains to be mediated in present VR art.
