more webcam

i'm probably the worst blogger. this will be my second post in a row with a webcam picture of some unfinished paintings. this is pretty relevant since it will be my final project when finished!

a segment from my project proposal to give you an idea of what it's about:


Second life and other virtual worlds allow the user to enter an alternate, untrue reality which draws users in by the worship of its very falsehood. The distance from physical truth and body allows activities which would normally be mundane to transform into extraordinary out of body experiences in the eyes of the user. The body is in a state of rest/suspension while the mind engages in an escapist virtual experience similar to a religious vision or dissociative hallucination. The triangle symbolizes the elevation of this virtual world to a god-like status, dependent on its ability to separate the user from the physical world. The paintings will show the changes in perception of self and reality when one enters a virtual world in relation to the attraction of the digital nonreal.


sooo unfinished

this gif will be projected above the paintings
