Using virtual reality and augmented reality installations along with a selection of videos displayed on projectors and iPads, Conflux of Parallels serves as an exploration of our relationship with the virtual world. The ways in which the Virtual and the Real concurrently reflect each other present us with ever-evolving approaches to existence. Some see it simply as a means to power whereas others see it as an opportunity for
altering ideas and constructing new life. You are a node in a complex system of moving particles, what will you choose to do with that?
