I saw a talk a few days ago by Yehuda Duenyas. He was discussing his varied and wonderful art projects, which range widely in technique from immersive theater to virtual reality to simulated flight to motion tracked public performance.
But running through all of his creations, whatever their technical details, is a powerful positive message. Unlike much art I’ve seen in recent years, which reflects a general cynicism about the state of the world, Yehuda’s work always conveys a sense of possibility, an idea that we can build a better and kinder world together.
The last few words of his talk resonated with me especially well. He said that he wanted to create work that would “help us to become the magical beings that we are destined to be.”
I am totally with him there. And I could not have said it better.
