Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

Virtual reality is clearly predestined to become one of the most influential forms of cultural media. I guess it is going to take less than 5 years to reach mass media status and at the same time we are also going to have a huge amount of intellectually demanding content for a mature audience - also known as culture. If art galleries or museums are going to widely adopt it, is yet to be seen. Ignoring will not be an option but they might steer in the exact opposite direction. The installation above is of course not meant to be an art piece or anything else than entertaining but in my opinion the little hit in the neck makes it something which is more than its creators intended. If you believe the theory that every medium has the tendency to talk about its own nature, this work here is exactly to the point. Entering virtual reality is strongly connected to getting rid of your physical body, so don't be mislead by the laughing in the video, this is about the horror of virtual reality itself. cargocollective.com/erkkitrummal andreberlemont.com mortenbrunbjerg.dk
