i7o Zhu opening in Ars Virtua Friday at 7pm

Ars Virtua Gallery and New Media Center presents "immersivity through
Synchronization" by i7o Zhu opening Friday September 29 at 7pm SLT in
Gallery 2 of Ars Virtua.

immersivity through Synchronization

Minimal and Spatial Audio Visual instalation researching the
immersivity value of synchronised stimuli.

Deleuze, alluding to Kant and Schelling, at times refers to his
philosophy as a transcendental empiricism. In Kant's transcendental
idealism, experience only makes sense when organized by intellectual
categories (such as space, time, and causality). Taking such
intellectual concepts out of the context of experience, according to
Kant, spawns seductive but senseless metaphysical beliefs. (For
example, extending the concept of causality beyond actual experience
results in unverifiable speculation about a first cause.) Deleuze
inverts the Kantian arrangement: experience exceeds our concepts by
presenting novelty, and this raw experience of difference actualizes
an idea, unfettered by our prior categories, forcing us to invent new
ways of thinking

(RESOURCE - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deleuze)

Second Life is a 3D online persistent space totally created and
evolved by its users. Within this vast and rapidly expanding place,
you can do, create or become just about anything you can imagine.
Built-in content creation tools let you make almost anything you can
imagine, in real time and in collaboration with others. An incredibly
detailed digital body ('Avatar') allows a rich and customizable
identity.

Ars Virtua is a new media center and gallery located entirely in the
synthetic world of Second Life. It is a new type of space that
leverages the tension between 3-D rendered game space and terrestrial
reality, between simulated and simulation.
