One year ago this week, I picked up an Oculus Rift and a laptop on sale from my local brick and mortar with very little knowledge of what I was jumping into beyond having seen a few amazing viral online clips. Fast forward one very eventful year later and here I am with Koko the Gorilla signing “love” in a very early tease an experience that not only pays tribute to the memory of an amazing creature, but to the possibility of transcending boundaries.
In that spirit, the hearts beating loud are also very much meant for you all as a community. Many of you have inspired me to get up every day and continue to improve, learn, push myself artistically in ways I never thought I would. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one putting so much time and effort into this paradigm shifting journey. So thank you for all that you do and I will do my best to always give back.
