Escher'esque interpretation of Minecraft, obviously, as you can tell from the phsyically impossible waterfall. More a tribute than satire, as I would see it. The simplistic (or almost nonexistent) depiction of space may refer to Picasso's early work while the cartoonish coloring reflects and underlines the virtual reality that hosts the game. This latter aspect of the painting is however so explicit that it draws irony in the prospect that the game, in itself, is not real. This is also addressed in the missing outlines and shadows.Hytro wrote:umm... what is it?
Maybe the artist questions what is actually real and what isn't, as he reflects on how far virtual reality can deviate from our reality until it becomes art, rather than an abstract and forged universe - a parallel dimension, if you will.
