Immersive Tripping (VR & Van G) Nov24


Van G Immersive Experience. With the VR goggles like Lloyd Bridges wore in Seahunt you duck-dive into the waters of the lake that are bathed in moon- & starlight. Explore the marine life, the seashells on the floor, reefs, stalactites and caverns. When you're done, return to the surface, shake off the water droplets like a dog and peruse the boutiques ringing the shore. Meet the denizens taking an evening stroll with their walking canes & bonnets. If you're lucky you might get an invitation to dinner, authentic tatters, turnips & a slice of bread that the host cuts from the loaf against his chest like Uncle Petar did once or twice at his kitchen table. Or that might have been cousin Jovanka, his second daughter, who prepared our supper through that winter of '81 in the house on the hill. We had potatoes, cheese, spring onion & rocket picked from the sides in the afternoon when the livestock was collected. (A young Americano cousin relishing that fare delighted Joke.) The outdoor footwear stood just inside the entry, rumpled, creased & caked in mud quite like those favoured by Vincent, more so than the shiny buckled in the stores. Here you had it all @ $39; family $66. A month or two ago the show had played at the gallery in town (the buses had advertised); currently moved north to Kuala Lumpur.
