  • Increase attention span and engagement through challenges
  • Learning as experienced
  • Expeditions without leaving the classroom
  • Boost creativity 
  • Digital Fluency
  • Peer-to-peer support, interaction and collaboration
  • Personal skills


Virtual worlds are used as learning environments. Students can interact with others whilst completing a set of tasks. They also have the opportunity to learn new skills such as sharing, spatial awareness, data visualisation and even developing new language skills. Virtual worlds such as this have been adopted by colleges and universities across the globe.

Plus it is a good way of getting your students to explore ideas in real time and in an exploratory setting. Here they have the chance to discover new ways of learning via semi or fully immersive technologies in which interaction is the main focus.

Fallen from a Great Height

Image
  The Descending Fog It is not the misadventure of accidentally falling in. Or the fear of being pushed in. It is the normalization of staying in. And losing the courage to climb out. When nothing seems worth the effort. We keep our secrets and despairs silent. And foolhardily flout stupidity as optimism. A leap of faith. A whisper on a breeze. A gust of wind. A beam of light. The disparities of wealth and power, Have enabled growth-based failure. What is mine, Has prevented us from taking urgent action. On the significant global issues. The first impact on the biosphere. The second impact on the biosphere. The third impact on the biosphere. The fourth impact on the biosphere Aura Sylle and Tartarus These doors open to the deep abyss. To the land down under. Where a royal corrections corporation kick-started a nation. For more profit. With bonuses for doing better. Proving yourself acceptable. With space to innovate. Within an over-incarcerated population. The distress of the unknown

  While North America and Europe are asleep. Australia is awake. Relocate. The beauty phenomenon. Givenness and in excess. All-American beauty. Their women are the most beautiful. Their men are the most virile. USA exported US$107m worth of frozen beef to China in July. Australia exported US$35m worth of frozen beef to China in July. The USA leapfrogged Australia as the leading exporter of frozen beef to China. Australia is the loser. Ambiguous shared values Excluding Muslims from citizenship. Authoritarian occupation of Jammu-Kashmir. Widespread police brutality. Enlightened self-interest. Exporting recording high volumes of coal to India. Vaccine rollout is "not a race". The sooner we get there, the sooner we get there. Confused. Evoking. Ancient history and myth. One ecstatic impulse. Industrialization. Escape from ancient narratives.

Artist Statement Threat and Aesthetics

Image
  The easiest way to enable change is to substantiate it with a threat. Politicians use threats to win elections and to ward off scrutiny. Leadership employs threats to make a structural change, and to build allegiance against a common enemy. Workers live under the threat of wage loss and increasing financial debt. Artists make aesthetic decisions under the threat of poverty. One-off sponsorship You Tube

Systemic Delusion Modellhut

  Don't shoot the messenger. Prominent missions. Persuasion and exposure. Denial and protection. Collaboration and denial. Espionage and love. Systemic delusion and culture. As night falls fast. The burden. The understanding. Awareness of the ladder. The subliminal inceptions. The stimuli. As time is taken. The accountability of fallen leaves. Vagrant clouds across the night sky. Accountability. The insinuated and sorrowful. And the corruption from within. Submitting to be changed. By a systemic imperative. Endowed through pressure and lip service.

The Abyss Stares Back

Image
  The Rapid Creek Abyss Stares Back From the corruption and scandals of our colonial governments. And the just moral and social evolutions afforded. Far from the lands of despotism and aristocracy. The Empire shaped this land. The Abyss arrived. All those deaths made in silence. The instruments that silenced tongue, histories, and myth. The institutions that maintain silence.  The Rapid Creek Red Moon Eye Lunar malevolence. Fear of being attacked. Fear of being eaten. Cyclical predictions. Growth-based endeavors. An engineered future. An empire.  A sovereign state.  Conquering many territories. Subjecting people to one authority. Many cultures under one kingdom.   One kingdom one god. Subjugation. The wrath of one god. Enforced by law. Abyss The Character Of Storm Ill at ease. Discomfort and distress. Settlers breaking down. Opportunistic men. Of self-interest. In denial of atrocities committed. Structured towards blame-shifting. The rights of lordship. And those who fall outside of Go

Credentialed journalists can be controlled. Citizen journalists are hard to control. Our right to repair the new normal. Artists want to perpetuate this idea that they are still chiseling with a hammer. It makes me laugh. I look forward to when we can live freer than in other states. NSW First. Gladys Berejiklian.

Ghosts Behind The Wall

  There are ghosts behind the wall Our veil of security Our collective power Our freedom to consume The force is behind the delusion There is an ancient behind the door. As considered behind the door. But has appropriated before the door. At the same time. Coexisting on either side of the spectrum. Whether the door is closed. Whether the door is open. Whether you are imprisoned. Whether you are free. A Red Ghost Behind the Door  It has collected the intelligence. My capabilities,  My intentions,  And my activities. It understands my secrets. It will protect its own. It is independent of public scrutiny. Three Red Ghosts behind the Wall Identifying the semblance of a military-related threat Blurring the truth Actioning propaganda of exacerbation Fixating the populous Spinning the back door as the front door Tracking your intellectual property And mining you the consumer as the product Five Red Ghosts in Blue Space As an irrepressible force approaches an immovable object.
