A new virtual stage: Video games

From Minecraft to Imvu and Fortnite, artists have increasingly been turning to the world of video games as a way to give fans a more immersive, digital show-going experience, Paper Magazine reports on the new trend. By using an avatar, attendees can navigate 3D environments and interact in virtual space. Comrade Massie, a creative lead at Boiler Room, is taking it yet another step further - he has been spending his time in quarantine recreating stages from childhood video games and turning them into virtual clubs where viewers can party alongside characters like Sonic and Zelda...

PAPER MAGAZINE INTERVIEWED ME ABOUT THE GOLDENEYE SET FROM MY NEW Truth-Hz YOUTUBE CHANNEL / OUR SOON TO BE LABEL ❤ ❤ ❤ For those not familiar with it, it's a large New York magazine that's been going since 1984 and had covers with all the biggest - Rihanna, Kanye, Ru Paul, Marilyn Manson and (possibly most notably Kim K's buttcheeks). The set is with my BUBBLE CHAMBER pals from work Raj Chaudhuri, Julia Minou Kisray, Max Haynes & George Rylance set in the Dam level of Goldeneye64 - turned out even better than I expected and these guys smashed it all the way through. Got a Crash Bandicoot one I've nearly finished so will be doing a chilled out on on N. Sanity Beach shortly. Used the chance to talk about launching our new label with plans to release work from pals we've made through the Crowdsourced series on Boiler Room - including Jordan Wize Beats, Adam Roberts, Emmavie Mbongo, Adam Petrie, Adrian D'Mozart Lawrence, Ourielle Auvé, RomRom Donald, Joshua Brennan & our amazing illustrator Ali Kamara (more on that soon). Shouts to my long time business associate a Mr. Andy Robinson for helping co-finance the venture with his Deliveroo deal cashish (very proud of him for that). When this opportunity came about I said, "look, I won't stop until our brand is up there shining on Kim Kardashians big oiled ass" but now thats happened quickly enough I wanna keep things moving. Thanks to everyone for the support + any likes / shares / subscribes etc. Honestly I don't know how arsed I would be if my friends didn't get a chuckle out of all this nonsense <3 love you guys x
