Tony White, artist and photographer in virtual worlds, documents the developments of Second Life since the beginning of 2005. He realizes wide reportage about the main events, the peoples, arts, and everyday life in Second Life, witness of the birth of the metaverse.
He prints his artworks and presents them in RL, both in art galleries and on press. As a free lance he published his photographs on international magazine and newspaper such as Liberation ("Tony est notre envoyé spécial sur Second Life"), The Avastar (SL news magazine), El Pais, il Sole 24 ore, . His artwork, the series of portraits “Second Lifers”, was exhibited in Carte Blanche, the artists space of ecrans.fr in sept 2006.

In Oct 2006 he had a speech in Second Life, invited by the European Kuurian Expeditions, titled “Profession: net reporter”.
Before becoming Tony White, he yet was a net reporter since 2003, travelling in the web for the project Internet Landscape and in war games with the artwork ARENAE, a b/w photoreportage from the wars on line, entering in the multiuser war game as an "embedded" photographer.

Second Life is a 3D world completly constructed by his residents. We are constructing a new world, we know every thing about how it works bud we don't know what the result will be. That's the reason why I take photographs in the Metaverse, to undestand how this all started.
