{"attributes":[{"trait_type":"Artist","value":"Kevin Esherick"},{"trait_type":"Artwork","value":"Sky World"}],"description":"Artie Galerie presents *Sky World*, a collection by Kevin Esherick of 24 real world images from significant global events throughout 2024, transported into video game worlds.\n\nIn Native cosmologies, \"Sky World\" is a place of origin, a celestial ground where stories begin and structure descends. Esherick reframes this not as belief, but as interface. A contemporary cosmogony where the substance of reality emerges from the screen. \\\nThis is the world rendered here: Its logic holds. It’s just not lived. Real without realism. We aren’t witnesses—we’re an audience. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s displacement. *Sky World* asks what happens when experience is no longer lived but viewed, shared, and (of course) gamified.\n\nEsherick offers no judgment, just a structure. Simulation here is cast as a superstructure for a new kind of reality, a copy of the past that feels real but no longer reflects truth. \\\nFrom sacred narrative to algorithm. Stars to systems. Fact to belief. Memory to meme.\n","hash":"0x56cf7753506e65e63289f9fae8f1a231ac66b2e2354a56d8840135d4429a840a","image":"https://0prod.infura-ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeib64mucnccoo4qfyykdde3ck7l6kh5wyctasqywisxyzjoi3joawi","ipfs":"https://0prod.infura-ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeib64mucnccoo4qfyykdde3ck7l6kh5wyctasqywisxyzjoi3joawi","license":"","name":"Bakhmut, Ukraine"}
