Spawn point
What happens when negate our real world. The gamification of our existence has become a new reality. So much easier to side step the cold, the rain, the mud and mess, and step into a bright colourful world, where NPC’s and Bots interact with us, and we have control over our environment.
Spawn Point is the second of a series of micro projects, exploring the ‘image world’ (Poynor 2001), and the digital realm of images. For this project I wanted to look at the tension between these two worlds from the perspective of children. Created using a Chromagreen cloth arranged in woodland, characters and key artwork from familiar and popular games were introduced; Minecraft, Mario, Sonic, Fortnite and Roblox. How does the digital landscape compare to our own. Inspired by the work of Rachel Maclean, upside mimi ᴉɯᴉɯ uʍop, I wanted to explore jarring pinks and plastic purples in woodland spaces.
