The post used basic elements to create a powerful effect. Downey Jr. tagged the immersive museum with his comment “Brave new world, Vegas = culture.” The video he shared let viewers experience a massive dark space which displayed enormous glowing flowers that continuously changed their shape through silent mesmerizing movements across the walls and floor. The street showed a different aspect of the city because it lacked the typical bright lights that people associate with the Strip.
People reacted to the situation with instant reactions that expressed their astonishment. Many people showed their renewed interest in visiting art spaces. “The flowers are so cool I need to go to more museums,” wrote one observer who described what most people think. “It’s so beautiful, thanks for sharing,” another person posted with a heart emoji.
The footage created a strange experience which caused people to become confused about their first understanding of the material. One user admitted, “For once, I thought you were Skiing.” The comment created a brief conversation between users which included one person who said “I thought the same!! also at first i thought he was skateboarding you know when they lay on the skateboard on their back?” The abstract, flowing visuals created an illusion to the viewer which made them experience both snowboarding and virtual garden walking.
Some responses linked the actor to his most famous character through their comments. “Doom is enjoying our Earth,” one fan quipped, referencing the villain Doctor Doom but perhaps also nodding to the otherworldly beauty on display. Another comment took a more meta view, noting in Portuguese, “I love that his stories are exactly the type of thing Tony Stark would post.” The genius billionaire playboy philanthropist who creates advanced technology builds his character through this interconnection of modern scientific developments and artistic design.
People showed appreciation for both the artwork and the artist who presented it. “You’re always turning me onto new stuff,” thanked one follower to express his gratitude about Downey Jr.’s role as a guide. The dream most people share became a reality for another person who said “Must be surreal being there.” The actor’s access lets people experience his personal life through public and private experiences.
People used their comments to describe their professional hopes for the future. “Honestly. You need to direct your own FILM,” urged one supporter. “Not many ppl know you can do this. Let’s make it happen.” The post displays his artistic vision which he uses to show people his filmmaking skills.
A Spanish speaker created a passionate response which translated into English as “Could anything be more pleasurable and orgasmic than this? Note: ‘The skin belongs to whoever gets goosebumps.’” The installation created a strong sensory experience which produced a physical response because of its artistic expressiveness.
