Thesis Statement
A virtual environment where people can interact and place their mark in an ever evolving world. How participants interact with the objects will work to make a natural landscape or a more manmade appearing one. Over time, trees fill up the landscape while on the other hand people can tear down these trees in order to build their own mark upon the world.
I tend to create digital environments that heavily promote interaction. In the modern day, I believe giving the chance for people to put themselves in the art is both crucial to my work and, to an extent, allows me to put the artwork out of my control. That is not to say I have no control, each choice is crafted to create an overall theme, but every time a piece runs, it will never be the same as before, with my quirky and colorful designs filling up the environments in different ways through interaction.
Please watch my video to see this environment in action. If you have a VR headset, you will also be able to download this environment and play it.
