In Trouble in Utopia (above), artist Joe Hamilton sets his kaleidoscopic gaze on an industrial cityscape. The result is a mosaic of moving parts—colors and angles shift as a straight line, mimicking the horizon, plunges into the image. It’s this movement, combined with the diegetic soundtrack, that recreates the experience of entering a landscape.This is not the first time Hamilton’s work adresses issues of space and surroundings. In his 2011 digital art piece, Hyper Geography, Hamilton composes icebergs and mountains out of found objects. Visitors to the project’s Tumblr “find” these objects once again, only this time on a virtual platform.In both cases, Hamilton’s digital creations are more overwhelming than their physical counterparts. His impulse is not to replicate the visuals of a multi-dimensional space, but the experience of exploring it.@tfbnght
