She wishes to exhibit authenticity and a sense of human connection through all of her creations and designs
“Enlightenment”
Jeannie Park’s VR gallery room showcases her augmented reality artwork, or her charcoal drawing which she augmented, called Enlightenment. The fantasical, colorful augmenting elements of this piece work to represent the illusory nature of our world today, especially in technology and the media. The augmented art piece also incorporates music to bring the viewer of a journey of enlightenment and self-discovery. She intends to represent how technology was meant to bring us closer together but has seemingly isolated us as individuals. The artist’s ultimate goal in creating this augmented artwork was to illustrate the need for authentic human connection within our technological world to color our days again.
