Mimesis: Imitation of the Internet Using Immersionism, Chase Alias | Conceptual Art Network![]() |
Capturing perfection is simple if you change your perception of perfection. #ChaseAlias

Mimesis
This is a Mimesis. It is the imitation or representation of aspects of the sensible world, especially human actions, in literature and art.
This is the craziest #philosophy, conversation. It is full of rules and people criticizing others. It was so much fun. Enjoy! #art, #mimesis , #ChaseAlias

Actually I have thousand of shots on the cutting room floor, thanks. The simple idea that you look closely
enough to have an opinion of the process is proof the The works are having some effect. Take for example
Barbara Kruger and her use of overly degenerative imagery with juxtaposed with Ad Slogans. Perhaps you
can even wonder why Thomas Ruff chooses to shoot gay porn imagery and digital overlay it until it is almost
ugly.

I think some may miss a point in my work. So many people identities and realities for them selves. Taking
random selfies and posting them on hookup sites. It has become so ubiquitous. As an Artist and an
Immersionist I try to capture the perfection of the worlds I involve myself in, exactly as my characters perceive
them to be.
I hate it advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

I have learned that criticizing others for any reason is a sign of many things in ones own character. So when p
eople get offended at a quote by the Dalai Lama about self-disciple and personal evaluation they usually keep
it to themselves. If they feel the need to respond negatively, well then the irony is almost comical. #ChaseAlias

Philosophical Taoism is based on close observations and studies of nature. It is a fundamental tenet of Taoism
that man is an integrated part of the cosmos. That our inner-world (microcosm) operates by the same principles
that govern the outer universe (macrocosm), in fact that there ultimately is no difference between the two.
Taoism is quite unique among world religions since it doesn’t try to hide it’s natural roots. Nature is in fact seen
as the prime manifestation of the creative principle - that lives and expresses itself through all things. Including
human beings.
A philosophical Taoist therefore makes no distinction between the individual entity and the ultimate reality.
A philosophical Taoist therefore makes no distinction between the individual entity and the ultimate reality.
All living entities, although we experience ourselves as separate, is regarded as the same single awareness
expressing itself through different forms. Like clouds are created from water, so all living beings are temporary
expressions of the one Tao. We are all fleeting formations that create new and wonderful combinations. A truly
never ending story.
The first place to learn more about philosophical Taoism is the Tao Te Ching. Written over 2500 years ago by

+Theorize Art : Art, Ideas, Culture and Creative(s) Perspectives See, what you've demonstrated here is your
inability (or unwillingness) to stick to even the simplest set of guidelines. No one has said there aren't lots of
different interpretations of what 'philosophy of mind' MIGHT mean, but what it means HERE is very specifically
laid out. I'm guessing the reason you're choosing to disregard that fact is because you're arrogant enough to
assume you know best, but to those of who are actually in the business of trying to learn something you come
across as an annoying distraction. Please stop.+1

It seems to me that you only wish to make some sort of esoteric group that is controlled and moderated very
closely. Boring! Philosophy of the Mind should be as wonderful and creative as any art we have today. If only

I'm happy my work has effected you in some way. That's the point. Art is not supposed to be pretty, contrary to
popular belief. It's supposed to express and communicate ideas, thought and philosophies. So even if you
don't like or agree with what the artist is expressing, if it makes you feel a certain way, it has served it's purpose.
I believe that this discussion has become a Mimesis. It is representation or aspects of the sensible, especially
human actions, in art. Welcome to my art.+1

Endogenous Series, 2012 - 2014,
Affective Memory Screen Capture
by Immersionist David Pollack as Chase Alias
Chase is an Immersionist character of Saatchi Art artist David Pollack. Immersionism is a form of gonzo journalism made famous by Hunter S Thompson in his works such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Immersion Journalism or Immersionism is a style of journalism similar to gonzo journalism. In the style, journalists immerse themselves in a situation and with the people involved. The final product tends to focus on the experience, not the writer.
I found that this series of works emerged from the unique natural layering of text and imagery that occurs when you begin to blog, tweet and Facebook your New Media. As you view them your titles and names and peoples comments begin to merge with the work creating a depth and breath to the original mimesis upon which the works are conceived.
Because I work in Character I always shoot video.
The end result is a Video Screen capture.
