Tuna Bora, artist of the first Academy Award-nominated VR experience, “Pearl,” works at the intersection of conceptual practice, illustration, and narrative to create emotionally investigative digital worlds. Bora’s artwork often depicts non-physical identities and utilizes movement as a language format to create studies of bodies and belonging. For “Echoloji,” which references philosopher Félix Guattari’s “ecosophies,” Bora creates moving anthropomorphized color blocks sourced from video documentation of actual people, animals and objects in Echo Park, Los Angeles. By planting blocks of living color in familiar Los Angeles thoroughfares, Bora’s piece asks the question: who in urban spaces gets to qualify as a subject, with whatever rights granted, and who will be cast into the category of objects? What kinds of negotiations of subject-object take place in urban sprawls?
