Bay spoke to Creative Bloq magazine about her work on MESHfair and how it responding to the current interest in Spatial Computing:

“Thirty international artists will show new works at MESHfair 2024, an art fair for VR, 3D and metaverse creators. Now in its second year, the show will put a spotlight on immersive 3D installations and art for spatial computing, an area that is expected to expand through devices like Apple Vision Pro.

Spatial computing will be a big focus of this year’s event. As MESHfair founder Bay Backner explained: “There is already significant interest in how spatial computing will change artistic practice, as we conceive works for virtual reality and immersive environments. Yet artists currently struggle to find platforms for these works. With MESHfair we aim to show the leading edge of immersive virtual art.”  

This year’s thirty selected MESHfair artists include: Lauren Moffatt, winner of the DKB VR Art Prize and the I Certamen Internacional de Arte Digital; Dev Harlan, a NYFA Fellowship Finalist in Digital Media Arts and winner of the 2022 Mozaik Artist Grant; and Leah Smithson, who has previously collaborated with Apple on public art installations.”
