Joseph DeLappe Reno, Nevada Touch, See, Believe

Utilizing kinetic sculptural elements, sound and computer animations in an installation environment, Joseph DeLappe examines the context of objects, images, and beliefs in the age of a cyber-technological facade. The intent of Touch, See, Believe is to create a kinetic image and object experience which mimics in real-time and space the practice of creating the illusion of three dimensional objects in computer space. The effect of using considerably low-tech sculptural elements contrasted with projections of simulated computer modeled objects creates a context for considering our collective desire for virtual image/object escapism.
