SYNAPSE
virtual experience by ENRICO TOMMASO DE PARIS 2017

SYNAPSE IS A WORK OF VIRTUAL REALITY OF A VARIABLE DURATION, MADE UP OF VARIOUS SITUATIONS, ACTIVITIES AND IMAGES WHICH REQUIRE THE SPECTATOR’S ACTIVE PARTICIPATION.

BASED ON AN ORIGINAL IDEA BY THE ARTIST E.T. DE PARIS, THE PROJECT BLURS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN WORK AND SPECTATOR, ALLOWING USERS TO WALK THROUGH VAST SPACES AND PHYSICALLY EXPERIENCE A JOURNEY USING THE LATEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGIES, TO CREATE A LARGE MULTI-NARRATIVE AND SENSORIAL SPACE, WHERE BEING, FEELING AND SEEING MERGE IN A REAL 360° EXPERIENCE.

SYNAPSE-VIRTUAL-REALITY-ART IS CREATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH VITRUVIO VIRTUAL MUSEUM, WHICH DISTRIBUTES IT THROUGH ITS PLATFORM WWW.VITRUVIOVIRTUALMUSEUM.COM. THE ARTIST AND DEVELOPERS HAVE WORKED SYNERGISTICALLY TO CREATE AN AMAZING WORK OF NEW MEDIA FOR THE SAMSUNG GEAR VR VISOR.

The representation of the world around us is my challenge, my path and my priority. This simulation of the world around us is obtained using metaphors and symbols, elaborating an ironic and positive thought.

The spectator is always immersed in the experience and is an active part of the artistic work, which develops through a molecular labyrinthic process.

Progressing through links between the various “rooms” we are stimulated by thousands of tiny flying objects. Upon arrival in each “room” we find ourselves in contact with an emblematic metaphoric object which we can manipulate, move and make our own.

- Green organisms, simulacra of a fragile nature, mistreated and offended.

- Multiform entities, where human beings, animals, organic and non-organic particulars remind us of life’s complexity. The journey continues, with the choice of the new path to take, and every “room” offers new possibilities.

-The sounds stimulate the flow of the bodily fluids of the Synapse organism.

Narrating everyday life, entering inside us. I imagine a man escaping reality...running towards a dream that accompanies him, full of small metaphors...where the various sequences convey a high level of artistic quality to the work, making it spectacular.

We find it hard to adapt to the continuous changes that reality undergoes. We have to interpret the stimuli with which the world bombards us every day.

A constantly evolving reality forces us to adapt our thoughts constantly, creating a vision of the world, life and the relationship with others, ever aware that the future is now. Spectators but also creators of our life and the world around us, weak but also strong, always fleeing from wars or violence.

The accelerations that social-political-economic and scientific dynamics thrust upon the world must be seen as an absolute value, an asset for us all… it’s hard but essential, because it will bring us out of that funnel of negativity-nastiness-mental obtuseness... towards the different and the unknown.

In this chaotic moment, it is important to love – understand – gain experience. This is why my representation of the world is compartmentalised, broken down, molecular, rich, exaggerated, turbulent, joyful and, sometimes, tragic.

In my new experimentation of immersive virtual reality, I try to identify shapes and structures that speak a new language... interpreting the clearer and darker areas of the reality to come...hence the desire for the future and to bring it forward in some way, hoping in a humanity full of self-respect and respect for nature... the awareness of “being” only in relation to others, of being less selfish.

As an artist, I’m a social animal and I have to donate...questions-doubts- uncertainties-emotions-joy-... I’m very interested in how man lives life heading towards the future, nature, love for others, bio-technology neuro-transmitters, prosthetics, hunger throughout the world, wars, terrorism,

social migrations, financial structures, occult power, politics, religion, God and other things run around in my head and encourage me to build my message.

My works are tragicomic human summaries and metaphors of a world which is moving further and further away from itself. Man has almost forgotten-alienated-omitted the natural part of himself to become a limb of the technological machine that he invented, seeking an immortality that, theoretically, brings him closer to God.

The artist places the wearer of the visor in a position to build their “own” journey. This is probably the first time that he is really the “author” of his own life. An active subject yet passive at the same time… the way we all are in relation to our everyday lives, immersed in scenarios where physical and psychological spheres merge, creating different and sometime destabilising or joyful sensations for every one of us.

Art provides no answers, replying to questions with emblematic new visions of the world and of its enigmatic destiny, works like activators of new suggestions and experiences.

And you might never emerge from this experience-work again.
