Virtual Photography is ART! (again)
On Saturday September the 21st, 2024, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the Museum Of Modern Art "Donazione Meli" in Luzzana (Bergamo, Italy) has once again exhibited one of my screenshots of Virtual Photography, specifically my "Caravaggesque" from Alice Madness Returns. This work was my personal donation to the Museum after my previous exhibition dated 2021, like italians museums are used to ask. Unlike my previous "personale" exhibition, focused only of my Virtual Photography work, this time my print was exhibited among other contributors which happen to belong to many different arts, from photography to painting to sculpture.

The State of Virtual Photography [Q+A]
“Anyone using GT4 Photo Mode and sharing his screenshots on the internet forums in 2004 could be labelled as "the father of virtual photography", and as such I could be listed among them. But the truth is more complex. As THE person who coded the basic rules of virtual photography briton Duncan Harris is widely acknowledged as the first person to handle, code and share the highest quality virtual photography captures on the internet for many years”
The Day Virtual Photography was acknowledged as “Photography” by an Authority in the Field
“In 10 years from now, Virtual Photography will be exhibited in the most prestigious museums of the world and these are the facts and moments that are opening doors and paving roads for the whole community amidst everyone’s silence and indifference. I wonder if the first among us that will be exhibited in a world-famous museum will see beyond his very ego and understand how many people worked behind the scenes for years to make that moment possibile.”
