ALI ESLAMI & MAMALI SHAFAHI NERD_FUNK
VORTEX. Virtual Reality Experiences and VR Cinema
In the current climate of the Internet we have reached an irreversible state in our social life and inherently the way we think and comprehend our reality. To investigate this phenomenon, Iranian artists Ali Eslami & Mamali Shafahi decided to create a virtual identity called nerd_funk, which exists on Instagram and follows a portion of contemporary digital culture.
Through the lens of this profile, the user will set out on a interactive journey that represents an archive of collected moments, composed and directed on the basis of nerd_funk‘s Instagram stories feed. The experience will be a confrontation of the user with different sets of curated social media content.
By providing an alternate hyper-reality, the artists attempt to compare and thus better perceive our current state of existence in social media.
