Reality Bytes captures the zeitgeist of the digital movement amongst artists today. Much of what we see, hear about, or experience in the world often seems unimaginable, our notions of “reality” skewing ever further from a collective conscience. The steady flow of video games, virtual reality, consumer apps, computer programs and social media outlets derived from the “digital age” promote an existence that is becoming more “dreamlike” every day, filled with visual references that beg for attention and often invoke complete wonderment. Digital animation is the "imagination unleashed," offering an antidote to what's real.
