A Simultaneous World

What if we could experience and see more than meets the eye? What if we could envision a multitude of existing realities being unveiled to us simultaneously? What if we could float in and out through different temporal representations inside the expanded field of our consciousness and retain everything together into one single continuum? What would this multiplicity look like to us?

My artistic practice, a hybrid of video, image and object making, investigates the phenomenon of perception and the constraints and boundaries between the senses and knowing. This supporting paper maps out the creative influences and experiments behind the four installation pieces presented in my thesis exhibition Simultaneous World show at the Gales gallery, York University.
