The Coming of the Next Dimension

If everything that ever existed in a specific place became stuck in time, we would be able to see all points in time in a single glance. Applied to the creation of an artwork which could depict or offer a sense of timelessness to the viewer, the process of creating in would demand that the media and methods used would be that all dimensions in time be depicted simultaneously and that the only singular cohesive principle in the work would have to be the experience of infinity. This sense of endlessness is created by using the powers immersion and engagement of Augmented Reality.  “The Coming of the Fourth Dimension ” is in its essence a installation that  creates a virtual setting that is in the viewer's experience unstuck in time and in which the viewer can transgress  and experience a sense of place that is meshed into the present and simultaneously witness a multitude of possible futures as flying objects reminiscent of unearthly visitors  come and go through an infinite loop of day and night, modulating between  far and near and made viewable by the looking glass of the 21st century - the smart phone.
