CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
Initally , I was not aware about the audience reception I simply sought to satisfy a curiosity of my own . When I merged my first painting with Google Street View I shared the results on my blog and a diverse but moderate audience began to spread my discovery .
It was until Google Maps mention me through its social networks when I realized the more globalized reach of my art work . Nevertheless , in terms of creative decision making I have felt no influence from the audience part so far .
My direct participation with the viewer became more evident as I evolved into the virtual reality medium , an interest in the observation of the observer unexpectedly aroused . It was interesting the reaction of the audience from the external point of view to the virtual . They would often ask me questions about what they observe but when I situated myself on another plane of reality , I could not understand exactly what were they referring to . I had not thought about it until now and I think it can give rise to new creative proposals .
After reading the history of panoramic painting I have continued my own research on new approaches and thoughts about the spherical projections and its relation to the composition of the universe .
There are many interesting philosophical and scientific theories , from Aristotelian cosmology to the theory of holographic principle in physics .
For example , the holographic principle suggests that we all experience every day in three dimensions may really just be information located on a surface at the farthest end of our cosmos . So , it ' s possible that our lives are really just acting out the painting on the largest canvas in the universe . From this point of view our present reality can be a panoramic projection of other dimensions .
Under these premises I would like to establish new bridges that lead to the exploration of more metaphysical environments through a more abstract representation , I think it is a challenge that I would like to assume .
