A Journey Through Second Life
With photographs of a computer screen, the viewer is guided across Second Life, a virtual space online rivalling real-world cities in size and dynamism. An ambitious online platform that has enabled millions of people over the past 20 years to live out parallel lives amongst one another. Virtual lives complete with jobs, community, culture, love, and homes. Where the plasticity of the digital medium invites everyone to reinvent who they are with unlimited imagination, discovering novel frontiers that reshape our understanding of what the human condition is. A computer program of such appeal that people on Second Life believe they are more than just players of a video-game but "Residents" in a place of sincere human flourishing. The photographs showcase Second Life as more than just a curiosity of the internet era but a simulated world that reveals more about the human experience than the real world can.- Australian Photography Awards Experimental category Shortlist 2024
