one of the main organizers of this far flung & global endeavor of the imagination is . . . JEAN-BAPTISTE LENGLET.
\nyou can find him on . . FACEBOOK.<\/a><\/p>\n

the VIRTUAL DREAM CENTER is an online contemporary art ‘museum’ that will exist solely in your dreams, not.
\nbut . . close !!
\nit’s exhibition space that is solely . . DIGITAL !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

great graphic design, or what !!<\/p>\n

their kickstarter campaign successfully raised their goal of 2,861 Euros.
\nthe page is in French, bien sur – but if you open the page in google Chrome – it should auto translate for you.
\nsee: their kickstarter page<\/a>

this future-tense, forward looking, & most definite cutting edge . . VIRTUAL DREAM CENTER – arises out of Paris and all<\/strong> the exhibition space is . . . digital.
\nthe digital space is organized around a video ‘game’ format . . wherein the ‘users’ \/ translate ‘exhibition goers’ (lol) will “walk-through’ the exhibition using their keyboard ‘arrow’ keys & ‘mouse’.<\/p>\n

needless to say – the ‘lay-out’ and graphics<\/strong> – are to be noted !!
\ntres chic and, well . . . . d-r-e-a-m-y !!
\nthough the spirit is global – and ultimately: hopeful, it seems to have an apocalyptic edge – I wonder why, duh.<\/p>\n

it’s also interesting, form both a digitial & symbolic point of view, as well as a matter of graphic industrial design – that this virtual ‘display’ case – has walls of . . concrete.<\/p>\n

here’s a peek . . into the entrance of the main exhibition ‘hall’ !!<\/p>\n

\ninteresting, right ?!!
\nI like the manipulation of ‘space’, the minimalism, the construction \/ desconstruction graphics.
\nvery futuristic, full of infinite potential & ‘concept’ – yet it also seems very ancient Greek.

The first<\/strong> set of shows are launching in JAN 2016 – with 3 shows:

\n2. a solo show by JONATHAN MEEESE.

ps: I told you, nudity – is creeping back, though not in the sexualized, glammed-up, or even twisted-out, 70s, 80s, or 90s way.
\nbut more . . back to bare bones, humanity & survival. bio wonder. life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
