Rescheduled broadcast date: Thursday 27 August at 8pm + Permanent Sunset (on view for 24h)
As part of OUT of TOUCH Part 3 HERVISIONS presents a virtual lecture Taking Your Time in the Metaverse and screening of Permanent Sunset by LaTurbo Avedon.
Join avatar artist LaTurbo Avedon for a walking tour through several different virtual worlds, as they reflect on their importance during times of quarantine and isolation. The event will be followed by a screening of their latest video, Permanent Sunset – an atmospheric and slowly interchanging series of sunsets documented in video games. This event is the first episode of LaTurbo Avedon’s ongoing broadcast series, WASD with me.
The film begins with an introduction of LaTurbo through a character creation process in a role-playing game and traverses artificial nature, cityscape and space following the transmuting avatar. Whilst drawing breath in quietude they redefine the virtual worlds created for intense and violent gameplays as a place for reflection and contemplation.
