THE WHITE CITY
The White City is a body of work made from my research and ideals on the current stereotype of black males in Chicago’s ghettos. Specifically, how modern media and consumerism have marginalized black culture as a self-sustaining system of persuasion, despite the behavioral addictions these cunning uses of cheap signaling have embedded in the black community. Advanced capitalism have converted young men to hedonism. I will use installations of digitally fabricated objects to exploit and vilify this form of advanced capitalism.

FULLY REALIZED VR ART GAME
WHATWORLD is a supermodern exquisite-corpse process in the vain of surrealist tendencies. Using found 3D objects from awe set out to create a collage like. Like many collages before it WhatWorld is a classic composition of shape and color giving way to the subversive meanings and representations in media culture. We hope to achieve canon by using common tropes in video game imagery and culture at the turn of the century. WhatWorld utilizes state of the art technologies like Htc Vive and CAVE2 to bring it's quirky and unsettling atmosphere to life in stunning VR.
