On Exactitude of Similitude, a new Second Life performance, is currently been exhibited at Liminality: The Space Between Worlds on I Am Columbia Island (SL) until the 1st of May.

Between Saying and Doing will be exhibited at Liminality: The Space Between Worlds opening at Antena in Chicago (RL) and at I Am Columbia Island (SL) this Friday (16/03/10) 6pm-10pm, Chicago time (that’s midnight to 4am GMT). The curatorial statement reads as follows:

“Liminality describes the nature of being ‘in-between’; neither here nor there – or perhaps here and there. This exhibition explores the nature of liminality though examining work from the virtual world, Second Life, and its dialogues with issues of physicality via an exhibition at Antena Gallery, Chicago and on I Am Columbia Island in Second Life. The show will include objects, mixed reality performance, video, print and virtual installation in either physical, virtual or mixed-reality forms. What is the nature of art when it emerges in virtual worlds, and what happens when it attempts to emerge into physicality, and vice versa? What is the nature of presence in virtual art? How does it make us feel? This is the aim of this exhibition.”
