Wallpaper: Art in a virtual reality: the platforms bringing culture home

Got Your Back livens up the working from home environment With online business meetings surging in popularity, Dutch creative agency Staat has gathered a group of established and emerging creatives to create virtual backdrops, available to use for free in a wide range of video conference applications such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. We’re particularly fond of the backdrops by 2020 Wallpaper* Designer of the Year Sabine Marcelis, which feature her ’Stacked’ table and Candy Cubes. Other headline contributors include landscape designer Piet Oudolf, who selected a picture of his garden in Hummelo, and photographers Iwan Baan and Romain Laprade, who respectively submitted images of the interior Le Corbusier’s Convent Sainte-Marie de la Tourette and a seashell-shaped synagogue in Tel Aviv. Titled ‘Got Your Back’, the project provides design enthusiasts with a new opportunity to share great art and architecture while sprucing up their work routines. Voluntary donations raised through ‘Got Your Back’ go towards the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund. gotyourback.space
