Marco Manray in China

AREANA Call for Artists, Uqbar.media art culture
16 – 18 december, 2008 – Second Life


Marco Manry, back from his journey in a cinese virtual world, exhibits his travel notebook pages.
The exhibition of moleskines by Marco Manray, one of SL best known reporters, is based on Bolter's and
Grusin's concept of "re-mediation" - typical of the new digital media. For sure re-mediation is the most vivid
description of the contemporary visions of the "traveller", who knows no limit of space and shifts from one
geography to the other, recording the precarious existence of borders. What comes up is the idea of
journey itself, of the artist's state of mind and of exploration as opening oneself to encounters. Hence the
importance of showing in SL images shot in other synthetic worlds, specifically in a Chinese virtual world.
The description is completed by the "hyper-mediation" of a moleskine notebook.
