THE CONTINUOUS PRESENT
Explore Love, Consciousness, Duality and Transformation
Transform your perception with The Continuous Present, a cutting-edge immersive art experience by visionary artist, poet and composer ReVerse Butcher, and poet and performer Kylie Supski. Combining virtual sculpture, original poetry, and music, this immersive exhibition challenges our sense of embodiment, identity, and consciousness through a series of interconnected and interactive art worlds.
For the first time, The Continuous Present will be showcased in its fully realized VR format, offering festivalgoers a guided journey through four thematically connected virtual worlds. Each world invites visitors to explore deeply evocative themes—love, consciousness, duality, and transformation—through an interplay of original poetry, dynamic sound, and striking monumental digital sculptures.
Join artist-led tours to experience all four virtual worlds, followed by Kylie Supski's live poetry with ReVerse Butcher's music, and a Q&A with the artists.
The Continuous Present includes abstract, non-sexualized depictions of nudity and is restricted to audiences aged 18+. While photography is permitted, the artists encourage mindful sharing to maintain the integrity of the experience.
The Continuous Presentは、革新的なアーティスト、詩人、作曲家であるReVerse Butcherと、詩人でありパフォーマーのKylie Supskiによる没入型アート体験です。この展示は、バーチャル・スカルプチャー、オリジナルの詩、音楽を融合し、一連の相互に繋がったインタラクティブなアート・ワールドを通じて、私たちの身体感覚、アイデンティティ、そして意識に問いを投げかけます。
The Continuous Presentは今回初めて、VR上にて完全な形での公開が実現しました。来場者は、テーマ的につながりを持つ4つのバーチャル・ワールドを巡るガイド付きの旅に参加することができます。それぞれのワールドは、オリジナルの詩、ダイナミックなサウンド、印象的な巨大デジタル彫刻の相互作用を体感しながら、「愛」「意識」「二元性」「変容」といった深く心を揺さぶるテーマの探究へと来場者を誘います。
アーティストによるガイド付きツアーに参加して、4つのバーチャル・ワールドすべてを体験しましょう。その後は、Kylie Supskiによる詩の朗読と、ReVerse Butcherによる音楽パフォーマンス、そしてアーティストとのQ&Aセッションが行われます。
「The Continuous Present」には、抽象的で非性的なヌード表現が含まれているため、18歳以上の方のみを対象としています。写真撮影は可能ですが、体験の本質を損なわないよう、共有の際には配慮いただくことをアーティストたちは推奨しています。
