When I began to paint the internet, I was told my art was cringe, delusional, and “didn’t actually exist”. Now my work is being published in an academic journal because of my research efforts. Don’t listen to people who tell you to give up.

I need to start buying lottery tickets

Really proud of what UploadVR has helped to establish as a thought: games are sometimes destinations you can temporarily visit.

I can’t believe there’s no national attention on these monks yet, just local articles www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/l...

And finally, here are UploadVR's Best of VR 2025 Awards, featuring our picks for Game of the Year, New Hardware, and Most Anticipated. Find all of our winners here: www.uploadvr.com/best-of-vr-2...

I finally saw Knives Out and I swear I could dedicate a whole video to why a character like Meg’s was actually one of the worst in the film (acts kind but is truly selfish)

Gonna give this a shot, looks really fun

If you like mech battles and want to sit inside one, you need this game right now

10/10 casting every single time, no notes

A new exhibit has opened exploring black identity in gaming.

It was really cool to add new videos to the screen loop. @kgpaints.bsky.social — artist & VR journalist from the USA — sent over a video explainer on “Immersivism” to help give another expert opinion & put works like mine into an international context for those who had never VRed before. Thank you!

👀 What is Netflix planning?

A very special thank you to all of you who braved the heat & came out to celebrate the opening of “Torn Textures & Hybrid Glyphs”. Posting this from our very first full day open — and letting you all know that we are here every Wednesday through Sunday, from 11am-4pm until Jan 25th.

Fabulous explainer video @kgpaints.bsky.social - & thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & helping explain the international context to Ballarat. :)

I went to follow a XR unity dev course, mostly to see how the pro industry works here, and I was extremely disappointed. By insisting I got someone to talk, almost reluctantly about cultural applications, but other than that there was a disturbing fascination for AI and or military stuff :(

I’ve been disappointed in the XR community in how they can clearly see artists painting and making art within the internet, *about* the internet, and all they do is scratch their heads and go back to discussing AI on LinkedIn. 💀

One of my favorite reviews this year for UploadVR is Pools. Someone on Reddit asked for one of the best flat-to-VR translations and I think this barely beats out House of DaVinci. (BARELY because they are both so amazing) www.uploadvr.com/pools-vr-rev...

If you’re an introvert, the way you engage online and on platforms should probably reflect your real life a little more. If you like peace and quiet irl then going to public game maps all the time is probably going to make you feel tired faster. Why should we treat online different than rl?

I bet if I scan my head and import it into Procreate, I can paint myself and figure out ideal makeup and contouring that works for me

DC is full of good spots, like this fountain inside of the National Museum of African American History and Culture that smells like eucalyptus and is located in a “contemplation room”

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before (From: The Swerve by Stephen Greenblatt)

These two could clear a lot of villains if they teamed up

Before The Strange Pear gallery changed over for the new month and new showcase, I went back one final time to sit with my art. I wish I could explain how beautiful it is to have the opportunity to share my art in this way and how strangely bittersweet it felt knowing they would be gone.

The internet belongs to everyone.

Headed out to a museum to party tonight for a reason: Immersivism has been accepted as an article for an upcoming arts journal being published soon. We're clearing new goals! More good news forthcoming but for now, we celebrate this so far.

The next load test is just around the corner (2 days away), and we're still looking for more people to join us! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562 We are pushing to pass 600 in one room. Steam keys are available in Discord. The images below are from the validation test

People in their twenties criticizing Charli XCX for being a millennial as if dreading getting older and infantilizing yourself forever is a genuinely cute thing to do 💀

When game reviewers evaluate titles, they often do it sitting down with a controller in their hands. This evaluation involved physical fighting. It's another level of game reviews entirely and I feel like it's my best work yet.

Movies, comics, and anime to watch if you appreciate my art

I feel this with a passion. I may be tackling this problem in a different way, for myself and my small group of people, from a different angle, at a different time in life, but it's the same. (still finding my own words for it, but this statement helps)

With Immersivism, I feel like I "inherited/found" this art problem--How do you paint the wonder of the internet, an internet people are gradually losing faith in?--and I wanted to help solve that problem. I can't make the internet better but I can evoke a desire to *see* the internet be better.

I believe strongly anymore that it is the responsibility of every denizen of the Internet to keep it cool, human, and to make it weird wherever possible. The past days of the computer being cool might be behind us, but that doesn't mean that we can't carve out cool niches today, imo

Now is not the time to shrink and be invisible. Be loud, be weird, and be highly intellectual about it.

Everywhere I look online now, I see more people getting into experimental painting. Hyper-niche stuff like building 3d imaging programs so they can paint directly onto a mesh by way of a camera/canvas to transport to a UV, or painting to perfectly blend a canvas into a shot of a field.

In case you missed this preview

I love how when I discuss Demon Slayer, if I describe a character as Michael Jackson everyone knows immediately who I’m talking about

Had a fox drop by the studio today! Thank you @whsprsmusic.bsky.social! Video soon!

It’s time for a new art experiment ✨
