second(world) life

you might like this cool work by Italian artist Filippo Minelli. His work ‘contradictions’ is clearly just that. creating a dichotomy between online and offline worlds and east/west. the social networking buzz words, slathered across public and private property are so out of place in the streets of Cambodia, where computers, let alone these networks are unlikely to exist. The egalitarian and pristine nature of these worlds further to emphasise the disconnect.
Nice.
