The Road to a New Reality


            The capability to produce an authentic experience is closing in fast. In today's contemporary art everything seems to have been said and done - a common cliche experience, which does not excite, nor vex, the soul for the common man. Intimidation arises, as the road towards genuine intimacy in contemporary art would no longer be present but would rather appear as mere memory. It is this experience thus, which transforms the person to undergo a momentary escape into a new reality, a greater unreality. The paradox of creating an unreality with reality is an intriguing notion of being able to fabricate our own experiences with our already known surroundings.
             An unreality is one where fabrication for a new realm of reality comes forward by appointing a new meaning to something we already have seen and done myriad of times and would otherwise be incapable of granting us of that experience. Out of context one reality might be meaningless but a combination of objects, whether it be a picture of a cliche motel room and western landscapes, one could alternate it into a new meaning. Could we thus experience a new reality with what we have already seen? Does that mean we are crippled into the notion of repetitive routine? Or are we simply not noticing what is already there? Art would thus give the viewer a reality which fabricates a new one for each observer-One that not necessarily is something which you have never seen before but one which alternates the already perception and perspective which you have assigned to it. We are the ones, thus, in control to what we think of as our own reality and it is this control, which determines to what extent we allow an illusion to penetrate in our own embryonic reality.
             Taiyo Onorato and Nico Kerbs achieve a parallel reality, where the combination of the stereotypical images of a motel room are infused to create a new one; where the correlationism, as Hagel argued, is an illusion whereby your own reality is moulded into your reality but that does not mean it is the reality.
