“LAMPS IN VIDEOGAMES USE REAL ELECTRICITY.”
POSTED ON REDDIT BY USER 1Ferrox, NOVEMBER 2019
At the heart of various definitions attributed to virtuality lies "possible existence." It is within this expansive realm that this installation emerges—a virtual airport, standing as a demonstration to the interplay between the tangible and intangible.
This immersive space exists not as a physical airport per se, but rather as an evocative representation, an echo that alludes to its actual counterpart. Within its confines, traces and echoes of familiar elements resonate, subtly evoking the ambience of an airport experience. An ensemble of metal bars, reminiscent of those typically encountered at check-in counters, serves as a reminder of the connective threads between the virtual and the tangible.
However, in contrast to the rigid rules and obligations of the physical realm, this virtual manifestation defies convention. The customary lines etched upon the floor, which dictate the prescribed path within a traditional airport, become a mere suggestion. Here, freedom reigns supreme, granting visitors the liberty to traverse this simulated space without the imposition of mandated directions.However, in contrast to the rigid rules and obligations of the physical realm, this virtual manifestation defies convention.
