After going to India last year I did not think that so soon would I return to this rural Jurassicesque place. The minute we entered the realm surrounded by these boulders, palm trees, ancient ruins and rice patty fields, I knew I was instantly back in Hampi. Nostalgia consumed me as I felt as though, for a minute, I was back in the beauty of this place that held so much significance to me a year ago. My experience of the icinema was that of pure bliss and familiarity, regardless of the synthetic elephants, animated Garnesh and stereotypical Indian tunes, I felt a connection with this new media form by which I was able to lose sight of my ‘actual’ space and place!
What a treat of an excursion, being exposed to this new media form, which I felt enhanced, a simulated environment, to the utmost potential other then actually being there. This innovative technology is the closest I have felt we have come to teleportation and cannot wait to see the next phases of these projects and the evolution of our ever-changing mediatized culture.
