John Gerrard (born 1974, Tipperary, Ireland) creates virtual worlds in his game engine-based, politically resonant artworks that take the form of simulations. His custom-programmed, generative, digital works have examined issues related to energy production, food systems, information flows, and other timely subjects.
UNIGINE Engine is the real-time 3D engine of choice for John Gerrard’s studio since 2014.
The MSG Sphere Las Vegas is billed as the world's largest spherical structure, with its entire exterior and most of its interior covered in giant LED screens.
