Artist Saya Woolfalk (NY) works at the confluence of science fiction, anthropology, technology, and art to imagine a world that is simultaneously set in the future and the past. For Visionary Reality Outpost, Woolfalk reimagines the gallery as a ChimaTEK day spa that fosters mindfulness, guided meditation, and self-actualization for its visitors. Harnessing its ChimaCloud, a self-replicating digital universe populated by fragments, ideas, and forms uploaded to the Cloud by people from around the world, ChimaTEK’s Visionary Reality Outpost allows users to enact their desires for a positive possible future.
