Uncertain Reality, Uncertain virtuality:Cao Fei

Here is the impressive Second Life documentary by China Tracy, an 29 year-old alternative female artist, from Guangzhou, China, who was also invited by iCommons to give a lecture on iSummit this year in June.
To watch the whole film, please check here.  You could also find this documentary on YouTube and many other websites.

She runs a blog by the name of China Tracy’s Second Life Blog, while she writes a Real First Life blog named Cao Fei’s Blog. For more on her SL life, there’s an interview with her in English at New World Notes. Besides spending time living a Second Life in a virtual World, she pays attention to the Real world as well.

Here’s an interview (in Chinese) with her about some of her work, which was recently included in Yunnan New Film Series. In this interview, she discusses the fact that almost all of the directors taking part in this film series project are women, and most of them don’t have much experience in making films. Maybe it’s a signature of the revolution of new Chinese film and art period under the background of Creative Commons?
