Super-Physical Tabletop Knick-Knack

Super-Physical Tabletop Knick-Knack merupakan sebuah rekreasi ingatan, landskap imajiner akan anomali dari sebuah visual video game.

Video game menjadi titik awal perjalanan fantasi akan ruang dan narasi yang terasa sangat di luar nalar bagi saya. Figur yang glitchy, buggy, kadang kita temui di dalam sebuah video game yang diciptakan senyata mungkin. Namun keanehan-keanehan ini bagi saya menarik karena ketidakmungkinannya untuk terjadi di dunia nyata.

Sama halnya melogika indra keenam yang selalu dikaitkan dengan hal mistik, anomali dan penerimaan hal yang tidak bisa diperoleh dengan indra fisik. Dua hal ini seperti permainan persepsi dan memori.
