Virtual worlds
Is there a danger in the VR becoming so real we lose our identities within it? The Matrix clip suggests that this is possible, with Neo having to make a determined choice (taking the red pill) to see the world a it really is (dark and cold and mechanical). However in the World Builder there is a sense of the ‘unreality’ of the world created. It would not be possible to confuse an existence within that world with the real world. Perhaps that is why the female character has a sad expression at the end of the piece – she knows that it is never possible to truly recreate the real world and is therefore aware that she is not really there.
