Ginamahre Fulton
B. Washington, DC
Cause and Effect:
Memory and the exploration of the dream state.
Ginamahre is a multi-media
artist and sound designer based in Los Angeles, California. Within her work, she
visualizes the physical and emotional experiences shared by the subconscious
mind, often communicated by building interactive sculpture and video that
discuss vivid dreaming, self-reflection, and the mental safety net of the dream
space. Beginning with the development of a personal virtual world, Ginamahre
uses her dream diary and recollection of childhood comforts to create a surreal
interactive space that emulates the feel of late 1990’s and early 2000’s
gameplay. Building a 3D environment that channels the “PS1” or low-poly game
world brings nostalgia to a generation that grew up on the blocky beginnings of
gaming in a 3D simulated space.
Born in Washington, DC, the memories of the
generational decay, underdevelopment, and its commodification through urban
renewal is consistently referenced within Ginamahre’s work. These memories are
expanded through the format of narrative illustration that tell stories about
the clairvoyance expressed through adolescence and imagination and the growing
necessity of the world-wide web in personal development and social experience. The
intersections of personal, technological, and societal development play a large
role in the upbringings of a young Black girl in the early 2000’s. How we can
be seen in the virtual world verses our lived reality challenges our
understanding of race.
