    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    "

    What if the painter’s brush could transcend the canvas, sculpting not just shape and form but the very fabric of spacetime? This book presents the idea that virtual reality represents a pivotal moment in art history, the next profound evolution in the long lineage of fine art painting. It argues that VR liberates the medium of painting from its physical constraints, creating a “virtual painting reality spacetime” where artists can paint in a true fourth dimension, making time itself as malleable as pigment.
    This work forges a new critical framework to navigate this uncharted territory, bridging the visceral tradition of paint with the ethereal potential of virtual space. Drawing on the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and the pioneering practices of artists like Char Davies and Fabian Marcaccio, the book explores the dissolution of boundaries between media arts and fine arts, artwork and observer, the physical and the virtual.
    The core is an investigation into how immersive presence, temporal fluidity, and interactive emergence give rise to novel aesthetics and experiences, fundamentally transforming our understanding of what a painting can be. Positioning virtual reality painting not as a departure from tradition but as the fulfilment of painting’s historical quest to push beyond its inherited limitations, this book is an invitation to step through the frame. It is a journey into a world where the canvas becomes a living reality and the painter’s gesture can echo into the fourth dimension.
