 The Profane Earth is a series of virtual reality poems.Why virtual reality? Because a virtual world can never be completely 'filled,' its surrounding void is what provides aesthetic strangeness, is what allows memory to grow. Upon entering a virtual world, the user gazes at the surrounding emptiness and knows that beyond the seen architecture lies the terra incognita of the man-machine mind, a sort of man-machine unconsciousness where man-machine memory is first formed, man-machine anger first triggered, man-machine desire first felt. What makes a 3d world different from other human artistic endeavors is this surrounding void mirroring the man-machine mind. The surrounding emptiness of 3d worlds should not be ignored. On the contrary, it should be used as one of the pillars of 3d aesthetic. |
