Collab with Universe via Beacon and Avatar

Random: I am trying to pull in the Universe as part of the art, collaborating with the artist.

Headdress: I see it as a beacon, a connection, a physical conduit to the Universe. Since I want to collaborate with the Universe, the headdress provides a focii. The virtual versus the real — or rather the virtual vs the physical world. In this way the randomness gets pulled from the universe into a physical manifestation. And the headdress pulls your muse into the physical. And it represents in a physical manifestation the powers of the wearer and/or artist. And a physical manifestation of the transfer of power as the experiencer puts it on or wears it.

Female Avatar: it seems not as big of a component as it was? I seem to not be putting it in as much, and yet I would not have a male avatar. I would have a genderless one. But perhaps it is more of an aesthetic choice or personal preference? Or is there more to it for me/my art? It definitely pulls back into the collaboration. Because it is not just about multiple users. Part of it is about how the artist and experiencer of art is one and the same and how sometimes the message being conveyed is meant for oneself. And how sometimes, the only person who can fully understand is oneself. This avatar is a way to have a physical representation of the artist in the art, and/or the a representation of the artist’s voice in the art.

When you put a virtual representation of the artist into the virtual world, you put yourself into that form, then you channel some experience having been in the virtual, back into yourself. The avatar is the artist and the universe as one. It is in the virtual that the artist and the Universe can be free of illusory limits and segregation. So as you place your avatar into this space, and it becomes one with the universe, upon experiencing, you and others are able to become one as well, channeling the power of the virtual avatar through immersion. Because the virtual world is like a window of existence. It is free from all the other self-imposed actions and ‘needs’ that we suffer through in this world.

I spent so much time talking to myself and realizing that journals and even voice memos were not nearly as powerful as being able to stare at myself in a camera as I was speaking in a way that it allowed me to be immersed and believe I was speaking to someone else, to myself at a different time, or to another aspect of myself that was deeply buried in my psyche or perhaps simply another form of myself that was now complete with the Universe. I note that these incredibly small delays between thought and movement/voice and then seeing it on screen and then registering it in my brain — reinforced the idea of something other than just me trapped in this world.

That avatar is freed from doing all of these other things. Eat, breathe, get rid of waste, work, live with others, feel pain, etc.. limited by language. But this avatar can avoid all that — existing only on this virtual plane that is free from everything but oneness. But this avatar is this part of me that I could not control on a conscious level that gets embodied in the art through a portal of wanting to be one and collaborating with the universe and comes back to me as just that.

Meeting 10u in the virtual world, manifested into our world, is a part of the message I am communicating.

But it is part of the game — a narrative. Our life is a game. We get through the hero’s story, through the climax, and we change, metamorphosis, and we become this new awareness.

And that’s why the meeting occurs in the late middle period of the complete module experience. The avatar makes you aware of you being connected to the universe. The experience teaches you. But it’s not the final conclusion. The avatar representation may not be necessary after that to create this oneness, to make you aware. You do not have to keep living IN the art. You do not have to keep living the same book, painting, movie, over and over. You have the epiphany of a message and then you can have reminders or you can apply. This is why it is like a game, play.

And this is why life is a game. A karmic cycle. We grasp understanding and we move on to a different plane. We move on to another type of life, a blade of grass, a cow, a tree, and then something beyond this earthly realm.

Always about fighting this illusory distinction of Ego and Individual.
