Overview
"'It's Kind of the Same' is a series of multimedia art installations which examine the ontological differences between analog and digital photographs and video. The pieces examine how reality is captured by these various mediums, the effect of hyperreality on our lives, and what it means to capture something authentically. 'It's Kind of the Same' seeks to raise questions about what it means to capture and experience reality in an increasingly hyperreal world." -- Abstract
