Art Title: "Virtual Shelter"
Artist: Seattle Design Nerds
2020 has been a paradigm shift in the way we work, interact, network, and relax, causing us all to navigate new compartments and barriers. Virtual Shelter is a symbol and landmark to reflect how both the virtual and the natural spaces are the therapeutic elements we turn to in times of stress and uncertainty. By day, the bold lines and ethereal quality suggest the temporary nature of this current societal construct, while at night, the illumination alludes to the transition from the hard physical constraints of our structured lives into the cyberspaces we’ve created to maintain community. The two halves form co-dependent dualities, like night and day, the enveloping whole encourages viewers to return and experience different interpretations. The shared spaces and phases that are defined by these dual-natured lines encourage the viewers to reflect on what ‘virtual shelter’ means to them and the shared spaces they are engaging in this new world, as we approach the new year.
