Hyperreality Shaman Flow and Flux

The boarder skates downhill in a state of flow, like a shaman in a trance. /////// According to anthropologists, the shaman was the first artist. Through trance, they traveled to spiritual dimensions, returning with visions that they rendered onto the walls of their deepest caverns. Some believe that digital art lacks the spirituality of physical art. However, freed from the limitations of the material world, perhaps the virtual shaman will attain new levels of transcendence…and leave their marks on the surfaces of virtual caverns… /////// This “digital capsule” is “connected” to the microchip capsule that has been surgically implanted in the artist’s hand. It “encapsulate” the themes of his ongoing series “The Hyperreality Show”. Hyperreality blurs lines between the real & the virtual, the analog & digital, humanity & technology. These works are composed of layers of code (from the algorithm stored on his microchip), as well as animations that recall the style of Lans King physical paintings.
