While the imagination of an artist tends to push artistic creation into unexplored territories, this virtual concept has been made possible by modern technologies and the power of media. Digital art can now provide us with constantly shifting experiences between genuine and fake, real and otherwise. With media technologies capable of creating interactive digital virtual environments, and the internet itself being a virtual world, digital artwork has become a probable channel for dialogue between virtuality and reality.
Under the theme of ”the dialogues between virtuality and reality”, two projects of interactive digital artwork are presented in this thesis: “Remote Harmony-Glasses” and “Sharing the Meals”. With eating utensils as the means of dialogue in both projects, the author uses digital imaging, interactive programming and installation art to conduct multiple dialogues on the virtual and actual aspects of contemporary life. A dialogue through the virtual space between participants and the real objects on display, a dialogue between real objects and the simulated images; a dialogue between participants in the virtual environment and their counterparts in the real world, and a dialogue between participants and the author. It is hoped that reader of this paper, too, will take part in an interactive dialogue with this article, the projects and the author, beyond the limits words.
