Film doesn’t address what’s great about virtual reality, which is interactivity: You move and as you move, the scene changes. James Cameron
The oneness of figure and ground is a concept that has a powerful presence in classic modernist painting. It is occupied with the primacy of ground over figure, or a figure that dissolvesinto the surface. The oneness modernity seeks is directly opposed to todays fragmented reality. In todays painting we have to deal with figures in motion that deny fixed representation.The layers of paint become a way to express movement of time, changing as they shift their arrangement. The silver screen paintings could be seen as enlarged stills or single frames thatare brought back to life in the light, outside the mechanical device. They exist in the light and between the worlds - flickering paintings that seem still to be in the making as we look at them.
