“It could be a study in movement for the avatar of a virtual influencer. Is she real? Does it matter?” (Lans King)
In the realm of marketing, virtual influencers wield tremendous influence, boasting vast legions of social media devotees – an embodiment of what Lans King aptly terms as hyperreality. Initially, this artwork may strike one as a portrayal of motion, as the virtual influencer's avatar adopts graceful (and perhaps even sensual) poses under the artist's keen gaze. Yet, beneath the surface, it ventures into the profound, contemplating the evolution of these artificial personas as they teeter on the precipice of becoming virtually indistinguishable from flesh-and-blood human models.
Contained within this frame, we find the model enshrined within a capsule – a captivating, tantalizing presence, simultaneously exuding allure and an air of detachment.
