Digital works _new world 2_and_new world 4_ are a part of the cycle Paradise now in which Ivana Tkalčić is observing our reality which is turmoiled by a „new“ digital world. The large capacity of data and messages we have to process daily is often distorted and coded. Because of that, the perception of human reality can be completely deconstructed. _new world 2_ and _new world 4_ represent the term hyperreality, defined as the incapability of the human conscience to differentiate reality from its stimulation. By observing these videos one begins to wonder how much has our reality already changed under the influences of technology and new media, and if this virtual consciense is in fact becoming the foundation of our reality.
