Dreamscapes by Joshua Datu are digitally rendered images of real landscapes . “The ‘Dreamscapes’ came about as an exaggeration of how technology continually re-defines our ideas of truth and reality”.
I used the web as a sort of artistic medium to portray falsity and deception.
Although the images turned out visually captivating, the process of layering and editing several images at once gives more satisfaction because it remains unknown –
in a way they are just ‘pretty pictures.’ People are always praising an outcome without understanding its origins – Joshua thinks it would be a lot more interesting if artists only displayed their process… I think it would interesting to see both!
