We asked some of our favorite artists to visually define some ideas and genres we felt had a big presence in 2015. Net artist, GIF maker, animator, and director Kyttenjanae visualizes virtual reality through the lens of the digital world itself. She imagines future generations of VR pioneers in the form of her trademark glossy alien characters, including implications of our dependence on technology for communication.Virtual reality is still a medium in its infancy, but with billions of dollars of capital investiment surging through labs and production houses around the world, it's set to potentially revolutionize the way we see the world. A 20-minute vacation in Cabo—or a candy-colored alien wonderland—might be at our fingertips in the near future. Augmented reality, the meshing of real and digital realms in real time, isn't far behind. This was the year that these technologies came of age, but 2016 will be when they start to grow up.See more artists using virtual reality below:+Chris Milk+Ustwo Games+Magic Leap+HoloLens+REIFY+Rachael Archibald+BeAnotherLab+THE VOID+The Weeknd+BjörkSee more of Kyttenjanae's work on her website.Related:Virtual Reality Journalism Puts You Inside the Refugee CrisisVisit this Virtual Gallery For an Anti-Gravity Art ExperienceExplore the Abstract World of Subatomic Energy Fields in Virtual RealityChange Your Sex in Virtual Reality
