Virtual Shiva is an exploration of the cosmic depth of generative spaces
- a collaboration of realities glitching in a dance of creation and
destruction.
Decolonizing gaming’s “avatar” with the name’s
original Hindu significance, Virtual Shiva invites viewers to play as
The Destroyer’s avatar within a complementary pair of video game
installations. Between the immersion of a projected macrocosm and the
observation of a windowed microcosm, viewers are encouraged to play,
experiment, and contemplate as denizens wielding universe shattering
properties.
