Back in March Transfer held a group screening for NarGIFsus, a show curated by Carla Gannis that invited more than 60 artists to present selfie-self portraits. We need a bit of levity, so we’re highlighting the work of one artist in that show—Patrick Lichty. For this project Lichty made a self portrait of his digital self. The figure is his Second Life avatar, Man Michinaga, surrounded by cats, Confused Travolta (his totem at the time), on a background of flying saucer invasions. When he sent us the animated GIF he offered the following explanation. “I live in Dubai, so my life IS science fiction.”
