Mariko Mori-- Queen Diva of the Virtual Future


Does this artist have classical traing? Are these meant to be ideallic? What is the inspiration for Dream Temple?
I definately think it is the one job of the artist to envision and express various visions of possible futures, otherwise who decieds what the future will look like? I like that Mori uses hersself transformed in her work showing that we each are the main character in our futures. Also thats he believes that technology is not good nor evil but a middle more balnced spiritual road. Technolgy is a liberator, in that if tech can satisfy basic human needs then we may investogate our spiritual selves. This is the story of the buddha as well , he was a king who had it all and left it to search for his spirit and place in the world. If people are ed etc it gives rise to more thought on more complex ideas. Hince the desire Mori, as other artist before her have had to attain perfection.She may be in touch with the idea that we are evolving from a physically based creature to a creature more composed of thought /mind/ spirit. She obviously comes from a quite evolved study of buddhism which she adeptly combines with all forms of technolgy. Ok "efflux energy" wow-this woman is amzingly deep she even knows about the sixth sense and creatyes work to allow people to access that place. Dream Temple i knew this was an extremely incredible piece, so much thought into something to make people more in touch witht hemselves and more evolved. I have a new inspiration.
