Artist Statement

Mandy comes from a traditional art background mainly creating paintings, illustrations, and sculptures, but throughout university has unexpectedly developed a strong love towards 3d Animation, with a particular interest in Virtual Reality Development which she hopes to pursue as a career.

Mandy’s dissertation explores the integration of Bentham’s Panopticon and Fuller’s Dymaxion House principles in the design of a virtual apartment complex, aiming to challenge conventional notions of privacy and surveillance. The experience employs the use of a tactical and unique method to exploit surveillance mechanisms, deceptive marketing strategies and human intentions.
