SHOOTING PIXELS
by Vito Campanelli, Francesco Quarto, Donatella Saccani
15th december 2007 - 16th february 2007
The physical spaces of Galleria Overfoto, together with the virtual
ones of Second Life, host the exibition called Shooting Pixels,
pictures collection by Marco Cadioli, Antonello Segretario and Marco
Zagaria, about the places, anything but material, but still “real”, of
cyberspace and its inhabitants.
If it is true that the Web is an alternative reality, a vital space,
always changing, in which we spend increasingly more time – and the
Second Life phnomenon is the clearest proof of it – Web photography
gets the same importance of direct imprint and evidence of something
that “has been”, as traditional photography.
So the landscape becomes the red line that links the works of the
three artists: landscape in a straight sense, as for the installation
of Antonello Segretario (a full-wall view of a green Second Life
“island”, including a real lawn extention), but even in a “human”
sense, as for the two hyperrealistic portraits by Marco Zagaria, or in
both senses, as for the desert black and white landcapes, alterned
with images from the virtual wars front and avatar portraits by Marco
Cadioli.
All of this, enriched with a recall to the “real reality”, in a
dialectic game of inside and “inside-other”, which finds its natural
expression in an exposition that involves at the same time the
tangible spaces of the Gallery and the simulated ones of Second Life.
