Several productions are dealing with the impact of climate change. Located in the 4,000 m2 exhibition hall on Lazzaretto Vecchio island near the Lido, the Venice VR program has been curated by the VR expert Michel Reilhac. \u201cAs VR grows, it will start invading our lives with all kinds of applications and functions\u201d, says Reilhac. \u201cIt is very important to signal to the creatives that it is a medium that they can test, explore and develop as an artistic language.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 22 VR works include the stunning film <em>Greenland Melting<\/em> by U.S. VR pioneer Nonny de la Pena in which the viewer is standing in front of Greenland\u2019s melting fjords while 3D scientists explain why the glaciers are going to melt faster and faster. The increasing air temperatures are only one reason of the problem. As the NASA team has found out, it also has an impact on the glaciers that the oceans are getting warmer which affects them also underwater.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this cu<a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3126\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster-287x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster-768x803.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster-979x1024.jpg 979w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster-630x659.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Greenland-melting-poster.jpg 1046w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/a>tting-edge virtual reality experience, the viewer is taken on a trip that puts him at the foot of glaciers but also on board of a ship, a submarine and a helicopter where he can watch the vanishing icy landscape from above.
