Virtual Industrial Alchemy builds on the principles of established throughout the series of the 23rd Patriarch (Rise & Fall Of The). Conscious evolutionary growth is triggered by a catalytic event; just add fire and see that fucker go boom.
"Perception of self is a biased social construct where even our individualism is another industrial by-product" is the underlying tenet of Virtual Industrial Alchemy, which depicts a terrifying mighty being ready to unleash all concepts of pain on the unsuspecting denizens within the artwork.
The catalyst within the work itself is the camel, which creates a negative dead space in the centre of the piece, very similar to our virtual existence today, and is moving relentlessly onward to the inevitable outcome of reverence and death.
Can we transcend this current state via other avenues or are the tools for our growth already at our disposal?
