For their new exhibition, Italian artists Eva and Franco Mattes, also known as 0100101110101101.ORG, use the traditional medium of the canvas to mount 13 portraits of digital avatars crafted by members of the online community Second Life. Known for high-tech hijinks, like creating and releasing a computer virus code for the 49th Venice Biennale, this forward-looking duo also references Andy Warhol by manipulating methods of media representation, recalling his pioneering silk screens. Indeed, the show's title alludes to Warhol's film shorts, 13 Most Beautiful Women and 13 Most Beautiful Boys. Questioning how self-image manifests itself in an incorporeal universe of multiple identities, this exhibition combines society pages' gloss with provocative thought.
