Cao Fei: I.MIRROR by China Tracy
The artist who keeps attracting attention with video pieces set in urban spaces presents a work she showed at the last Venice Biennale. "i.Mirror" is a documentary that captures visually the experiences of her Second Life (SL) avatar "China Tracy" as a mirror of Real Life (RL), and while referring to the real world, it is a brilliant portrait of individuals enjoying their virtual environments. Watching the three elaborately composed parts, the viewer becomes aware of a variety of relationships between both, SL and RL. The event is coordinated by MIACA, one of the few video archives in Japan, and takes place concurrently with a festival involving 25 groups and organizations based in the ZAIM complex where the video is on display.
