This is my First Second Life, where I am Marco Manray, a net reporter in SL. I photograph people, events, art, everyday life, my adventures and my experiences, looking at the birth of a new world.We found the real world ready and we studied it for thousands of years to understand how it works.Now we are constructing a new world, we know every thing about how it works, we know each single pixel, each single bit, bud we don't know what the result will be.That's the reason why I take photographs in the Metaverse, to undestand how this all started.I take photographs in the net since 2003 as part of my project Internet Landscape. In 2005 I published "ARENAE", a b/w photoreportage from the wars on line, entering in the multiuser war game as an "embedded" photographer. now I am travelling in the Metaverse and I write for a couple of on line mag.
"I am wondering if my First Second Life is becoming my second real life", Marco Cadioli
