Worlding Worlds

The wording worlds video was a very intriguing take on what we're experiencing in our world today.  One of the concepts I was most attached to was the point cloud concept.  The creator was looking for a way to find a home between cultures seeing that she was Etheopian and American.  Finding this home between cultures she was constructing a home immaterially. Her creation had an interesting take on memories and she was looking to reclaim the narrative in the identity of her memories.  She explained a creation that she had put together and it was mimicking actually memory and how it can be fragmented.  She pointed out that when you got closer to the object, it would appear more abstract and intangible, but from a distance, they would become more discernible images.  This was portraying how memories actually work.

Another concept related to the former self was extremely brilliant as well.  It seemed as if it was addressing how all things in this life, in this world, are all part of the same universe.  It mentions contributing to a future self and says it can be anything like a Gardner, a healer, a rebel, a miracle, a resurrection, half human, half animal, a ghost, and much more.  This had me in a state of open mindedness and I was fully accepting of the many things this universe has to offer.  It immersed me with the thought of endless possibilities.

Another concept related to the after-life.  There are many views on the after-life whether it be heaven, hell, or hell's many different levels, etc. It addressed the thoughts and views people had on these after-life concepts.  What the creator did was take this concept and apply it to the internet. He showed different levels of what he believed was the infrastructure of the internet and what it looks like visually.  Instead of using numbers like 1's and 0's, he used celestial looking beings to portray this image of what he felt the infrastructure of the internet looked like.

I chose these three concepts because the made me feel very connected with the world and its possibilities.  It made art and our worldly evolution seem very connected and it was much deeper than surface level concepts.  It all felt culturally, spiritually, and humanly connected all at once.  I think what this art says about our current world is that we are in a transition, and evolution period.  Art being portrayed in these manners may very well be the new norm very soon, and people will have the opportunity to experience art from the comfort of their own homes one day. Art that makes them think much deeper than just enjoying the visually creative aspects of the work.
