Claude Closky - "Me2" (2007)

Born in Paris in 1963, lives and works in Paris.

Claude Closky is interested in the ordinary and extra-ordinary events of our daily lives. He tampers with signs, codes, systems, shapes to break them down, rebuild them and to deride set formulate. Here, he presents “Me2”, a work in which his avatar – or yours – is renewed each time it is called (when the Web page is reloaded). So many false identities which simultaneously hide and reveal their owner’s identity. In the version of “Me2” presented in the Second Life space, the pixelled, low-tech and two-dimensional aspect of the images are the exact opposite of the artificial 3D bodies of the virtual residents.
