| The piece explores the changing
notions of being in the world that are presented to us by the
emerging concept of "virtual reality", and how these
concepts directly connect to developments in other areas of
contemporary culture that have re configured our ideas of nature,
culture, shelter and community. Because the content of the projected
imagery is different at all times, the interior imagery will
range from that which shows the great potential for understanding
and communication that these technologies provide, as well as
the banality that their time and energies are often spent upon.
The reconfiguration of the imagery often makes surprising revelations
of content. Some of the most beautiful images that I have seen
inside of the piece are during overhead shots of the "Wheel
of Fortune" spinning around, making an animated architectural
scallop around the room, while a collage of interchangeable
"white men in ties" generally occurs during simultaneous
national news broadcasts, provoking one to question whose interests
are being served by this deepening mediascape that we inhabit.
