welcomecore

Artwork Description:

Welcome in heads, minds and cores. 
Feel free to walk into the heads. You can click the walls inside and outside.

What do our aesthetics look like? How do we experience aesthetics? What is our core? Am I goblincore through and through or more vacation dadcore? How does online and offline connect? How do we observe, how do we identify, how do we document? 

Everything we do is an aesthetic. But what is our core? The pleasure of floating between. I did it for the aesthetic.
