It is difficult to define a perspective on
such a multitude of others; to do so would lose an emphasis of the real demographics
of personalities. However to be prompt I will stick to the Deviants I
personally subscribe to and browse amongst.
As a whole the virtual reality within
DeviantArt is as patchy and fertile as the real world, a cacophony of anything
and a shade of everything in between. The growth is just as exponential, every
time a Deviant posts something new, the skills are finer, their work more
defined and their angle all the more alluring to the wandering mind.
Personally I like to describe my
perspective of anything as an echo-beat-whisper of the original concept. This
can be described as quite similar to the depiction of the universe revolving around the earth in Ptolemy’s
apparent observation drafted by Velho (Velho, 1568).
To further explain (bear with me), perspectives are fluid. They are never the same. Should that be considered even a possibility to yourself, a moment of thought on how it all meshes together is self-explanatory altogether how brief they really are.

Now back on track, the ‘world map’ in
DeviantArt is just as fluid as my own personal perception. There is no
monopolisation; there are strong currents and weaker ones. The ‘celebrities’
get to where they are by even more hard work than the rest and once they want
time off, their status recedes as the tides. The glory is there all the same,
for all because everyone is learning from one another. The potential is
astounding.
On an interesting note to the side though,
some stereotypes that we see in everyday life, if one is observant, show face
in some Deviant’s artwork depicting humans. We are defined by our own
perceptions, scary thought hey.
To finish up I will tell that the artists
that usually grab my attention are traditional (painting, drawing and whatnot)
and the CGI from photoshop and other programs like that. For some reason women
tend to be the stronger group as whole, however there are some male artists who
have an astounding mind.
And so, everything balances out,
Peace out,
Your Spiritual Joke.

There have been some well constructed points brought up in this blog. The first sentence which wrote "As a whole the virtual reality within DeviantArt is as patchy and fertile as the real world" (Braioux, B. Blog 2 Divide, Define, Conquer, Learn, Repeat Week 4 Blog, www.blogger.com) was believed to be the blog's strongest point. It really introduced the topic, and opened up much conversation about virtual reality. As Ghandi once said, "you must be the change, you want to see in the world"; It is believed that this blog could have also used this blog. Reason being connections that could be made between religion, philosophy and virtual space, could really bring out a more thought provoking read (and there could be more comparisons made, when making an argument).
