The image is titled “Line Katcho IMMORTELLE.” It features an abstract representation of a human face created with dynamic and colorful lines against a black background. This artistic piece seems to blend digital and traditional art styles, resulting in a visually striking and unique composition.

The image is titled “Line Katcho IMMORTELLE.” It features an abstract representation of a human face created with dynamic and colorful lines against a black background. This artistic piece seems to blend digital and traditional art styles, resulting in a visually striking and unique composition.

As described by artist Line Katcho, Immortelle is an "abstract and figurative non-game artwork that illustrates the flights and falls or psychological endurance. It's a personal story told through the paintbrush of virtual reality in a fast-paced flux of sound and visual fragments".

We found it to be a 12 minute long sequence of graphical VR demos accompanied by an atmospheric and pulsing soundtrack. Though featuring a unique art style, these digital illustrations are simple in nature and feel more like an artist's first experiments with virtual reality rather than a finished product. Immortelle includes a couple of interactive scenes where you can push blocks back with your hands, but they feel tacked-on and added little to the experience. Also in the second interactive sequence there appeared to be too many blocks on the screen, causing our powerful PC to stumble.

Raw in nature, including strobe effects and some swirling scenery we'd recommend this only as a passing curiosity for the more seasoned VR explorer. We tried this as part of the Viveport Infinity subscription, so didn't have to pay separately for this experience, which is likely the only way we'd recommend the inquisitive to check it out.

The image is a collage of four distinct visuals:Top Left: A network of branching lines resembling neural or organic structures, with colors ranging from white to dark red against a black background.Top Right: Radial lines emanating from a central point, creating an explosion or burst of light effect, with colors transitioning from yellow to red.Bottom Left: Abstract architectural elements in shades of purple and pink against a dark background, giving a digital or cybernetic feel. Bottom Right: Motion blur of a street scene with buildings, conveying speed and movement; text reads “IMMORTELLE AN EXPERIENCE BY LINE KATCHO.”
