Artist Statement:
Super Spectacular is an interactive narrative created to be experienced on a stereoscopic virtual reality display system. The virtual environment created in this artwork consists of buildings (a sports arena and factory) and interactive characters created from black and white drawings developed by the artist. Super Spectacular places the user in a world characterized by the cycles of work, leisure, production and consumption. For the user to fully experience and explore this environment they in essence must engage in the processes associated with these cycles.
