>  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.
> MAO (www.mediartsoffice.eu) is partner of the event.
