CrossLab Lunchevent: Robert Overweg

Robert overweg was invited by TAG, The Hague, to develop his work as a streetphotographer in virtual worlds. In 1st and 3rd person games he explores the new possibilities these worlds offer to capture his images. Overweg considers a computergame a direct extension of his environment. He behaves as a 'regular' photographer in a 'normal' landscape. His work raises some questions regarding rights: with his photos he claims these virtual worlds, though they were made by other artists.
