Discover a unique digital-traditional hybrid approach to contemporary art practice. Artist ReVerse Butcher shares the creative process behind her virtual reality art world, The Last Stanza. Explore the world on our iPads and watch a live demonstration of 3D sculpting using virtual reality.

This event is for Ages 15+. Bookings are required.

ReVerse Butcher is a Ballarat-based interdisciplinary new media artist. Spanning a twenty-year career, her practice focuses on a digital-traditional hybrid approach—merging analogue painting, drawing, and text with immersive and VR technologies to investigate themes of dis/embodiment, language, and perception.

Her projects have secured significant international recognition, including winning Best Art Experience at Raindance Immersive 2025 for The Continuous Present, and featuring in VMoVA’s "What is Virtual Art" at Venice Immersive 2025 (La Biennale di Venezia), where her VR sculpture "Circle Cubed" contributed to over 30,000 global visits. Her original art, music, and poetry WebXR project "The Last Stanza", was commissioned through the HTC VIVERSE Creator Program in 2025, and exhibited at the NewImages Festival in Paris, and AWE 'I, Spatial' Art Festival in California, in 2026.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
