Curatorial Statement
Virtual Connection brings together eleven artists that work in varied media but maintain a common theme: virtual worlds being used as interpersonal relationship augmentation. We are currently on the cusp of our worldview becoming more thoroughly mediated by virtual and augmented environments. Whether it happens via a mobile device you carry with you daily, a personal computer station you become more integrated with or advanced tactile technologies that are just now emerging from their research and development phases, the 21st century will give way to simulations that could become the predominant method used to interact with our social network and environment.
The artists brought together here foreshadow the changing human experience of experience, culture and vision and anticipate the virtual exodus through their unique style and technique.
