IMMERSIVISM

K. Guillory is an illustrator and writer who documents virtual design and gaming trends. She currently writes for UploadVR while occasionally publishing short comics about horror and technology.

​

In 2016, Guillory painted a virtual avatar for fun while joining an art workshop in Second Life. After speaking with fellow artist Bryn Oh about her findings, Guillory decided a virtual art movement was possible. She dedicated several years to researching different ways of painting what one sees in VR on a physical canvas. A breakthrough was finally reached in 2024 when she began to work blind contour drawing into her methods.

​

Presenting her findings to different groups in 2024, interested artists voted to change the temporary movement name "Gridism" (as it was named in 2016) to "Immersivism".

​

She is originally a Detroit native who now resides on the East Coast.
