Artist Statement:
“The very thought of VR is the fuel for millions of late-night reveries about consciousness and reality.” – Jaron Lanier
“Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see…” – Rene Magritte
“The whole world is a stage, and all the men and women are merely actors. They have their exits and their entrances, and in his lifetime a man will play many parts…” – William Shakespeare
Presented through the lens of virtual reality, ‘can’t buy me love’ is an immersive experience that purports to sell the audience the intangibility of spiritual enlightenment. It brings “reality” into a space that is “unreal” and where the item that is for sale is one that cannot be bought.
‘can’t buy me love’ was developed with support from The UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building and the UTS Faculty of Law and as part of the 2021 UTS Artist in Residence Program.
