Where do I begin?

Armory Week: Part One
Before I left for NYC I managed to have my first Magic Leap One experience at Serpentine Gallery. It was interesting watching Marina Abramović create a performance. The experimental experience was set up as a laboratory, the viewer felt like they were part of an experiment as the staff in white coats escorted us around a big circle. Augmented Reality glasses still have a long way to go

The past few days have been deeply troubled, a brilliant young artist and wonderful family friend passed away at the age of 22. The whole world around him affected. Rest in peace beautiful Kai, we have watched him grow from childhood, always loving his friends and family. This is Kai in my Art Diary the ‘Budding Artist’ in 2011
