Platform 9¾ Expansion

Today we live in the world of screens as we look at cellphones, TVs and computers longer than we see the physical world. Advances of technology such as VR can take us anywhere without the restrictions of reality. Do we really live in the solid buildings that contain our physical presence, or in the cyber worlds built and connected by the Internet that occupy our minds? This drawing attempts to capture the architecture of the real and the virtual, both existing, overlapping, competing, negotiating, diminishing and growing, as we experience such simultaneity day to day. It is expanding the Wall at Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in Harry Potter, the planar division between the ordinary world and the fantasy world with unlimited possibilities, into a dimensional space where elements from both worlds can co-exist and add layers of complexities.
