What is real? Identifying reality is no easy task in these times of virtual worlds and alternative truths. © Photo (detail): Colourbox

What constitutes reality?
 Realer than real

VR and art
 The self, the world and dissolving distinctions

Virtual reality is conquering the art scene, and more and more German artists are devoting themselves to artificial worlds. Some of the spectacular projects truly test the boundaries of perception.
