Technocolr, come spiega l'autrice, è una installazione sperimentale costruita in Second Life, dove i residenti, usando i loro avatar, possono esplorare un palazzo che disorienta, pieno di oggetti scultorei e di mini installazioni.




Il lancio è avvenuto nel giugno 2008, dove la scena era la boutique virtuale di un hotel, che la gente poteva visitare come luogo notturno o come residenza dell'artista .



Tehnocolr è un lavoro che richiama l'architettura fantastica, denso di oggetti e suggestivo di visioni oniriche. Installazione immersiva dove la sensazione di disorientamento è simile a quella che si prova in un sogno.

English version

"Technocolr, the Harlequin Lodge", is a fantastical new construction in Second Life. Like a disorientating roadside attraction, Technocolr emulates a whimsical architectural vision, filled with optical treats and twisted installations. Just like the teacup ride at Disneyland or Snowhite's house off Route 66, Technocolr pays homage to experimental and fairytalesque architecture, and the ideologies behind creating these miniature fantasy worlds. Come, step right up, through the harlequin wallpaper and over the oscillating rainbows into a new disturbing and beautiful reality.
Australian artist Anita Fontaine creates new landscapes from the old. Using installations, mobile ghost encounters, games, the internet and cinema, her work expands the parameters of new media and the moving image. Her previous installations, which include CuteXdoom, a videogame-mod which explores the obsession with cuteness in Japanese culture, has been exhibited internationally. Her latest work, a GPS based worked entitled Ghostgarden, takes the viewer out of the museum on a cinematic journey around a garden environment. It has been exhibited in Finland and most recently in Australia as part of the Sydney Festival. Currently Anita lives and works in amsterdam.
