‘Art As Activity’ By Dj Breda

‘Art As Activity’ is the multidisciplinary installation by Daniel Breda. The exhibition explores the concept of ‘dynamic sensation’ in neo-futurist art through the synchronization of virtual reality and installation art. The exhibition will portray Breda’s love of creating active participation, alongside his painting practice to form juxtapositions between innovative technology and traditional art.

Executed with the Oculus Quest 2, Unity 3d, and a physical installation,  ‘Art as Activity’ will personify this concept in the form of a physical and virtual ball pit. Traditionally a play environment, the ball pit assists children to develop their sensory motor skills in their formative years. Similarly, VR has been used in contemporary space as an extension of human cognition. The synchronization of these tools will form an uncanny unification of real and virtual space as we know it. Enabling gallery participants to be immersed in a physical ball pit, whilst interacting with the VR ball pit. The simplicity of the ball pit will identify the contemporary human relationship with our ‘whole’ environment and understanding of real space.

Journey’s End by Kasia Frankowicz 

Feeling lucky? Introducing Journey’s End by Kasia Frankowicz, a computer game where everyone’s a winner – it might be big, it might be small. For a fee, visitors will be invited to play her game at the fair. Play along and whatever the outcome, you’ll win a Kasia Frankowicz artwork. Win win. In Kasia’s words, “It is often said that life is like a game, the rules are different for everyone, arbitrary challenges determine if you are good or bad, and often you fail simply because of the hand you are dealt. You get ahead, you fall behind, you play along, until the end you realise the points meant nothing. Life is not a game, it is a journey.”
