Joseph DeLappe’s
Reenactment: The Salt Satyagraha Online is an
installation piece which connects the virtual world to the real
world. Using Second Life online virtual reality, the artist has
recreated Gandhi’s historic walk to Dandi. Delappe’s piece
incorporates performance by means of real time experience as he
“walks” through a virtual landscape by means of a physical
treadmill. The performance is recreated in the gallery space for
viewers to experience and contemplate. A physical sculptural
component was created for this exhibition by Salisbury
University sculpture students — a large scale model of the
avatar’s head, which graces the entryway of the exhibition.
