Push/Pop

This visit to a virtual art space at first seems very familiar.
But upon further inspection, the unusual qualities of a virtual environment become
clear as two large transparent constructivist objects spin for the viewer.
Surrounding the area are black and white images which are also portals
into alternative virtual realities. Spaces which have neither up nor down.
These unfamiliar areas form the essence the new digital realm where
there are no laws of gravity and the spectator is in need of learning
a new vocabulary for the ordering and comprehension of the space.
Push/Pop uses both varieties of virtual reality to Push the viewer into
these new awkward spaces while also allowing the freedom to Pop back into
the more conventional format of reality we have all come to know very intimately.
The reality of the landscape.
