Do you know that feeling when a lie falls apart? When you realize that something is “fabricated” or “made up.” I think it’s kind of an enlightening feeling.
Similar to when actors in a play talk to the audience. I want to capture this “breaking the 4th wall” in the artworks of my diploma, where I make renderings or photographs of model scenes out of paper.

Breaking the 4th Wall
Breaking the Fourth Wall in theater, the storytelling technique “breaking the fourth wall” is common. It’s actors directly talking to the audience. It involves characters acknowledging the audience’s presence, often by referencing the fact they are in a film, play, or other fictional work.

Level of Detail in Virtual Environments
In reality, the closer you get to an object, the more detail you will see. Eventually, you will get to the atoms and then to the elementary particles and then to string theory.
In virtual environments, like video games, objects have multiple versions with varying “levels of detail”, meaning, how much resolution the 3D model has. The closer you get, the higher the level of detail will get. But there is a breaking point at which the player reaches the model with the highest level of detail and starts seeing blurry textures up close.
