As part of everyday life, the rapid rise of digital technology has led to a number of challenges in our contemporary life. Whilst dream-like scenes created through technology have become increasingly convincing, it is hard to distinguish our conventional understanding of the “real” from new digital realities. This weight of information forces us to sharpen our perceptions in order to avoid digital distraction. For my project, I have constructed a series of photographic images inspired by the visuals of 3D graphics and video games to reveal the characteristics and influence of the digital medium. With their uncertain orientations, a question emerges as to whether what we see represents reality or is merely computer-generated.
