Jaye Rhee’s unique digital artwork “Handcrafted Reality” explores the human relationship with digital screens and notions of virtual space. Created during the pandemic,Rhee constructed detailed 3-d objects that assemble to create a fantastical moving tableaux. Recalling early screensaver software and common computer games in this timely unique commission, Rhee’s whimsical work alludes to the collapsing boundary between the real and the virtual and captures an essential aspect of daily life that is increasingly spent in front of #screens. The site-specific work takes advantage of the 52-channel network throughout #FultonCenter complex by immersing the viewer in the surreal playland, or offering an alternative to the content commuters typically encounter. The artwork is presented for two minutes at the top of each hour,on 52 screens throughout the Fulton middle complex and the Dey Street pedestrian tunnel connecting multiple unique York City Transit lines to the World Trade middle PATH station.
