#12. Mr Misang & Crypto World. — Mr Misang is walking, breathing, and leaving his traces in the crypto world. Wait, “what is the crypto world?” — A Worldview.
#12. “Mr Misang & Crypto World” is the final piece from Mr Misang’s premiere NFT collection, Modern Life is Rubbish (abbreviated “MLIR”).
Mr Misang’s first 11 “MLIR” illustrations have featured animated recreations of works previously conceived back in 2016. Uniquely, however, the 12th and final work is a recent creation that serves as the pinnacle of this art collection, rendering a virtual Cryptovoxels art gallery with 2D animated displays that pay homage to Mr Misang’s previous digital artworks.
With the “MLIR” collection, Mr Misang has immersed viewers in a wave of bright-neon flashes that reveal the mechanistic plasticities of the modern day. Deep immersion is the process by which the audience, at least for a faint moment, loses oneself in the reality of the virtual.
As Mr Misang is thrown into the metaverse in #12, he playfully walks around, imitating copies of himself in the art, leaving imprints all across the gallery. The line between reality and fiction, the physical world and the metaverse, the viewer and the art — everything becomes quizzically blurred, scattered in shape. Both the exhibition and appreciation of Mr Misang’s art in the virtual world becomes art itself.
Although virtual spaces appear to metaphysically coexist with the metaverse, the Mr Misang who jumps out of the metaverse, paradoxically, is bound to distort that very space of art he inhabits. In the end, the catch is that Mr Misang teleports back out into the real world. What will happen if #12 is exhibited again in yet another Cryptovoxels gallery?
This ostensible puzzle turns out to have a quite simple answer.
Mr Misang is not a simple, “virtual” character. Rather, he exists across all dimensions of the metaverse, weaved into the fabric of dreams, floating in and out of the real world. (Refer to #01. “Odd Dream”). Mr Misang is he who freely drifts from one virtual world to another, one story to the next, thinly riding on the riverbanks between reality and digitality. The final animation, #12, is the key to realizing the concept of Mr Misang’s worldview: a bridge that connects all possible worlds and impossible dimensions that Mr Misang is out to create in the future.
Or, at least, that’s the story that Mr Misang wants you to believe. What do you think?
