Jeffrey Shaw is famous for his works that have the use of interactivity and virtuality. His works have been displayed in many museums and festivals worldwide. Before Shaw became a famous artist, he was born in 1944 in Melbourne, Australia. He then went to the University of Melbourne where he studied Architecture and Art History. After completing his education, Shaw started to travel the world. He studied sculptures in Italy and also in London. He then traveled to Amsterdam, Netherlands where he participated in a project called "Sigma Projects", with several other artists as well.
While Shaw was away studying, he founded and co-founded several productions and events. Those included the Artist Placement Group in 1967, the Eventstructure Research Group in 1968, Javaphile Productions in 1977, Founding Director of the Institute for Visual Media at the ZKM/Zentrum (Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany), and lastly the founding co-director of the Center of Interactive Cinema Research in Sydney Australia.
The idea of Shaw's work is to expose a viewer in visually stimulated spaces and make them see virtual reality.
