Digital
Faces is my new digital installation and is exposed at the Museo
della Scienza of Napoli until the end of january. The theme pf Digital
Faces is the intersection between beauty and identity, digital beauty
and digital identity; on second life I found an incredible platform
where thousands of human experiments it. The idea of beauty on second
life comes from the classic idea of beauty, the idea of beauty that we
find in the Metamorphosis of Ovidio: the actors of Second Life are half
human and half animals, can wear wings, can be transformed into
fire. What is the classic ideal of beauty? Salvatore Settis says that
the "Classic" is the reinterpretation of the classic, let's say, with a
contemporary words, the remix. So, on second life, on virtual wordls in
general, we assist to remixes of the old idea of beauty, remixes that
most of the times surprise for the interesting results. My works Digital
Faces are an investigation through Second Life on the remix of classic
beauty in the digital worlds.
