Jon Rafman (Montréal, Canada, 1981) has long inhabited the spaces of the digital platform Second Life, building a narrative universe in which he mixed gaming culture and the most ambiguous aspects of the web communities. Viewers can enjoy his short film, Punctured Sky, in a sculpture whose shape recalls that of a gaming chair. It tells a dreamlike and non-linear story, populated by interspecies avatars, dealing with memory, loss, community, and identity while reflecting on how fragile these concepts become in our digital society.
