Second Life at IMA

Chinese artist Cao Fei has been making art online under her avatar guise of China Tracey. She built her RMB City on the Second Life Creative Commons island of Kula. Named after the Chinese currency, this crazy city is parody of Beijing, with Tiananmen Square as a swimming pool, a giant panda hanging from a crane, and a Mao statue half-submerged under water like a ghost. 

Institute of Modern Art (IMA), 420 Brunswick Street Fortitude Valley QLD 4006 runs until ­27 June    More info at www.ima.org.au
