Installation

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