”Debuting in the New Frontier exhibition at the Sundance Film Festival, Rachel Rossin’s new virtual reality piece, The Sky Is A Gap, is an unprecedented installation that breaks new ground in the medium. Defying the laws of time, the piece presents an exhilarating experience that is simultaneously communal and unique.”Ziehersmith

”The Sky is A Gap is an immersive Virtual Reality Installation that allows the users to move time. It is the first ever multi-person, large-scale, interactive virtual reality installation which provides viewers/participants with a once in a lifetime aesthetic and social experience. ”Cargo Collective

”The larger point to these pieces is the inherent disembodiment of virtual reality — the sensation we get in VR that our physical bodies are irrelevant. Nadja Oertelt (science producer, documentarian, and co-founder of Massive Sci) caught up with Rossin to discuss the show, and together they delved into a deep conversation about art and humans caught between Virtual Reality and the supposedly real world.”Fold Magazine

”The concept of entropy is central to Rossin’s body of work, including The Sky is a Gap, whose stated inspiration, immediately decipherable in the wall wrap of the space in the main ‘VR Palace’ showcase, is the series of slow-motion demolitions of consumer goods that caps Michelangelo Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point”Film Comment
