Virtual Horror
As generations have passed into memory and the long arm of change stretches out across the world. Bringing with it the engines of industry and countless waves of new thought processed in an ever changing environment by ever changing people. Man finds ‘new‘ ways and ‘new’ demons to fear. Yet it cannot be denied that ultimately they are the same old fears dressed up in contemporary clothing. The primal fear of what is beyond the grave, the loss of control to a alien force, the devils and witches that take away what we regard as goodness and make us betray ourselves and the fear of loneliness.
Virtual Horror talks not only about these similarities but it also talks about the way art is presented in the white cube space. It looks at the contrast between the avant-grade and kitsch. There are boundaries within the exhibition, but, so often in the art world we find boundaries.
