VR Student Exhibitions: Arc with Hugh Baird
With three student exhibitions over three weeks, Open Eye Gallery’s Student Exhibitions showcased new talent, highlighting the many different approaches and ways of communicating through visual culture. The virtual reality versions of these exhibitions are now available to wander through online.

An arc is the joining of two points – for some students this represents the points at the start and finish of their degrees and for others from the finish to perhaps an unknown point in the future that could be working freelance or postgraduate study. Often not a straight line, but a curve that bends with the changing trajectory of opportunities and events.
After a difficult year and throughout two lockdowns when creativity was not a priority for many, the BA students from the Hugh Baird Digital Imaging and Photography course have used these restrictions of lockdown as a catalyst to fulfil their creative ambitions.
The diverse range of outcomes in this showcase illustrates the students varied approaches and some of the roles that photography can play, from the escapist narrative to the political and diaristic.
