Proposed Solo Show

James explores the relationship between the real and the virtual and how they interact with each other, as well as the connection between science fiction and Futurism and how fictional accounts of things can alter people’s perception. Part one of the project consists of a virtual tour of a solo show of the artist’s own work in the future created using Google “Sketch-up”, creating a virtual video tour of the gallery. The parallel piece, part 2, consists of a physical model of the same idea providing a real life exploration of the same idea.
