Installation
My only exhibition at Galería Elba Benítez in Madrid, Model )World(, consisted of this installation using virtual reality and representation. I asked a friend who worked in synthetic imaging to build a virtual space with the classic elements of early virtual reality: geometric shapes, a truncated icosahedron, wood patterns and a single point of light. The room was built physically, trying to copy the aesthetics down to the last detail. The show consisted of the physical space and two monitors, one with the 'original' 3D model and the other with a live closed-circuit image of the interior of the space. The work was reviewed by Jose Luis Brea in Artforum and cited in various publications as a reflection on virtual reality.
