Notes from a Cartoonist is a moving exploration of loneliness in the midst of a crowd, an artistic testimony that combines art and technology to invite reflection. The project has been created using virtual reality painting and features animations that bring to life motionless sculptures in the metaverse. These pieces, although static in appearance, are gateways to a world charged with emotions and deeply interactive.
Initially conceived as a reflection on the artist's loneliness when drawing, these notes have been transformed into a unique work that challenges the perception and experience of the viewer. Each animation in Notes from a Cartoonist is a window into the lives of strangers, people who, like the artist, experience loneliness in the midst of a crowd.
The work invites viewers to reflect on their own connection to the world and to others, generating a unique and emotional experience. At their core, these still animations and sculptures transcend simple observation, showing how, despite the apparent digital connectedness of our age, we continue to face distance and anonymity in our search for genuine connections.
The fusion of art, technology, and emotion in Notes from a Cartoonist leaves a lasting impression on those who experience it. This project transforms our perception of loneliness in the digital age, highlighting the importance of reconnecting with the humanity we share. It is a poetic reminder that, although we are connected beings, we remain vulnerable in our search for meaning and belonging in an increasingly virtual world.
