EGO CYBERSTAR FRED FOREST INSTALLATION NEW YORK
FRED FOREST EGO CYBERSTAR AND THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY
A FRED FOREST CREATION AT THE SCIENCE FAIR OF NEW YORK
THE SCIENCE FAIR, IN COLLABORATION WITH FLUX FACTORY 39-31 29th Street,
Long Island City, NY 11101
5-13 Juin 2010
In collaboration with Flux
Factory and the Metric System, FRED FOREST presents EGO CYBERSTAR AND THE
QUESTION OF IDENTITY, a new installation on Second Life, 5-13 June 2010, at the
Science Fair of New York.
Ego Cyberstar is a lost soul who has decided to go live in Second Life on a
permanent basis. He shares with us his first impressions and second thoughts in
a long monologue that expresses his existential anxiety—the meandering and
nostalgic confession of a man torn between the abject real world he just left
for good and his new home in the virtual world, which he is discovering for the
first time, without great enthusiasm...
Cyberstar addresses the exhibition visitor directly, looking him in the eyes
with poignant intimacy. Fred Forest deliberately employs an economy of
movement, a near immobility that places an almost exclusive emphasis on sound,
thereby accentuating a growing sense of malaise.
